1452. Gray, James R.; Leo R. Ruth (Eds.). (1982). Properties of writing tasks: A study of alternative procedures for holistic writing assessment (Final report, NIE-G-80-0034, November 1982 [National Institute of Education]). Berkeley, CA: University of California, Berkeley; Graduate School of Education; Bay Area Writing Project [ERIC Document Reproduction Service, ED 230 576].
Annotation: In 1980, the Bay Area Writing Project won a National Institute of Education grant to study the processes through which writing proficiency and performance are assessed, in particular to investigate "the so-called 'holistic' approach to appraisal" (p. 1). James Gray, as Director of BAWP, was listed as principal investigator of the grant, but he had little to do with it. As Project Director, Leo Ruth, professor of education at Berkeley, led the study. Research coordinators were Sandra Murphy and Catharine Keech. Research associates were Karen Carroll, Charles Kinzer, Don Leu, Ann Robyns, and Elissa Warantz. Mary Ellen McNelly cowrote one of the chapters. Sarah Freeman was consultant, and Marcia Farr the liaison with NIE. The project began with a series of meetings, the first as early as October 22, 1980, to construct a model of the act of assigning value to a piece of writing. The five main chapters of the report investigate practices in designing of test prompts, specification of audience in prompts, rater response to anchor papers, relationship of prompts to products and scores, reactions of student writers, and association of holistic scores with student growth. The final report was dated November, 1982. [The separate parts of this giant report will be annotated separately. All told, the work stands as one of first two comprehensive critiques of holistic scoring in the United States. The other was Quellmalz, ed., 1981, roughly contemporaneous, but whose studies ranged more broadly across direct and indirect writing assessments. Some of the BAWP report found its way into Leo Ruth and Sandra Murphy's Designing Writing Tasks for the Assessment of Writing (Norwood, NJ: Ablex, 1988).

Annotation: This edited collection was a project of the National Testing Network in Writing (begun 1981; the first NTNW conference was held in 1983). As a whole the editors are sensitive to the national "demand for accountability" (p. vii), although they say it is an "age perhaps hysterical over accountability" (p. xiv). They lament the lack of information to meet "The rush to test writers" (p. xi). They describe a survey sent out in 1983 and re-sampled in 1985. In 1983, 84 percent of respondents test to place students in composition courses and 23 percent later certify writing proficiency with a test; two-year schools do a disproportionate amount of placement testing (p. xiii), and of it 69 percent is direct testing. "Holistically scored writing samples were preferred over any other type of test" and 97 percent of tests that were holistically scored were "locally developed by departmental or collegewide committees" (p. xiv) [this doesn't say, finally, what percent of all testing is holistic]. The editors strongly support locally developed tests over bought ones, for reasons of faculty development. "State Legislatures and boards of education across the nation have mandated large-scale writing assessment programs, inspired in part by public outcry for a return to basics, and in part by a general lack of interest from teaching faculty in taking early initiatives to develop tests measuring basic skills" (p. vii).
