The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of journal writing on achievement and attitudes of fourth graders in the social studies classroom. A pretest and posttest were administered to measure social studies achievement. The researcher used a one-tailed, two-sample t test to determine statistical significance in achievement. There was no significant increase in social studies achievement found; therefore, the researcher failed to reject the null hypothesis. An attitude survey was administered prior to and following the treatment. A one-tailed, one-sample t test was used to determine significance in the effects of the treatment on students’ attitudes. There was no significant change in attitudes; therefore, the researcher failed to reject the null hypothesis. While a positive trend in attitude was noted when implementing the use of journal writing in this study, the researcher concluded that there was not a significant effect on achievement and students’ attitudes in the social studies classroom.

The purpose of this study was to determine if journal writing would affect student writing achievement and attitudes. This study was conducted at the start of the 2007-2008 school year at Excelsior Middle School, part of the Linn-Mar Community School District. Twenty-one eighth grade language arts students participated in this study. Data were collected from pre and post writing assessments, pre and post student surveys, and various writing assignments throughout the first ten weeks of the school year. Results of this study suggest overall improvement in writing fluency, accuracy, and student attitudes. These results are possibly due to journal writing practice.

This study summarizes research conducted in a second grade classroom at a rural elementary school in the fall of 2004. This study investigated the practice of using writing activities in mathematics to improve student attitudes and performance in problem solving. The classroom teacher supplemented traditional mathematics instruction with daily problem solving activities and affective journal writing. Students were asked to complete daily problem solving prompts and write about their problem-solving solutions. Attitude data was collected using a pre and post attitude survey as well as affective journal writing assignments. Performance data was collected using a performance based problem-solving rubric. Results of this study showed change in students’ attitudes towards problem solving in the areas of willingness to participate and perseverance in completing problem solving tasks. Student performance gains were recorded and analyzed throughout the six-week study period. Thirteen out of the 17 students who participated in this study showed performance growth in problem solving.
