چکیده :
Cohesion in writing is achieved through the use of linguistic devices
that tie ideas together across a text, and is an important element in
the development of coherent writing. Research shows that interand
intra-developmental differences may appear in how children
learn to use these devices, but cohesion is commonly overlooked in
the evaluation and instruction of writing. In this study, we developed
a checklist to assess cohesion in the writing of children in
Grades 4–7, with the purpose of informing instructional practices.
Following the procedure outlined by Crocker and Algina (1986), we
developed and evaluated a checklist designed to assess the types
of cohesive devices present in the writing of children. The checklist
items showed fair to good discrimination between high and low
scoring writers as demonstrated by a classical item analysis. We
also found good interrater reliability, and evidence for discriminative
validity. As internal consistency was weak, however, further
research is needed to refine the instrument. Implications for the
assessment of cohesion and future research are discussed.
