چکیده

This study explores the effect of student-generated drawing on idea production and writing performance of fourth grade children. The drawings and notes were created by 22 students in grade 4 using an online multimedia environment--Knowledge Forum--to advance their understanding of optics. The findings indicated that children who drew more while writing produced significantly more words, sentences, idea units, and earned higher overall idea grade in writing than did those who drew less in writing. The results suggested that it was the combination of drawing as a planning strategy and as an external support for representing ideas in knowledge building that contributed to its effectiveness in making differences in idea production and writing of fourth grade children.
