A comparative text analysis of students' handwritten and computer-written texts : A study on the differences between two writing methods and students' experiences of them. (English)
Abstract [en]

The conducted mixed-method study, involving both qualitative and quantitative approaches, aims to contribute knowledge about students' own experiences of writing texts by hand and with digital tools. The study also seeks to provide insights into the differences that arise when writing texts by hand or using digital tools. Data collection took place with third-year students, who were asked to write one text by hand and another comparable text using a computer. Subsequently, a text analysis was performed on the collected texts based on parameters such as text length, lix readability score, and nominal ratio. Semi-structured group interviews were conducted with the same group of students, and a phenomenographic analysis was made on the collected material. The results of the quantitative part show that the majority of students write longer texts on the computer than by hand. Regarding the readability score and nominal ratio, the results indicate a slight advantage for digital writing, but the difference is so small that broad conclusions should not be drawn. In the qualitative part, it emerges that students perceive handwriting as slow, painful, and sometimes troublesome due to their perceived ugly handwriting. However, it also emerged that some students find it difficult to locate keys on the keyboard.

Abstract [sv]

Studien som har genomförts är en kvalitativ och kvantitativ studie som ämnar att bidra med kunskap om elevers egna upplevelser av att skriva texter för hand och med digitala verktyg. Studien bidrar även med kunskap om de skillnader som uppstår vid textskrivande för hand eller med digitala verktyg. Insamlingen av data tog plats i årskurs tre där eleverna fick skriva en text för hand och en annan jämbördig text med hjälp av en dator. Sedan utfördes en textanalys på det insamlade texterna utifrån parametrarna textlängd, lix-värde och nominalkvot. Semistrukturerade gruppintervjuer genomfördes i samma klass och en fenomenografisk analys gjordes på det insamlade materialet. Resultatet i den kvantitativa delen visar att majoriteten av eleverna skriver längre texter på datorn än de gör för hand. Gällande lix-värde och nominalkvot visar resultatet en liten fördel för digitalt skrivande, men skillnaden är så liten att för stora slutsatser inte bör dras. I den kvalitativa delen framkommer det att eleverna upplever handskrivning som långsam, smärtsam och ibland besvärlig på grund utav upplev ful handstil. Men det framkom även att elever kan tycka det är svårt att hitta på tangentbordet.
