The Effects of an Automated Writing Evaluation System on State Test Performance

• In Event: Automated Scoring I

Abstract

This study explored the statewide implementation of an automated writing evaluation (AWE) system. A quasi-experimental design using the propensity score method was conducted to explore its impact on students’ state test performance. Findings show that more AWE usage was causally associated with better outcome when compared to less/no usage.
