Abstract
The model of cognitive writing processes tries to explain
cognitive processes and components which are included in
writing a text. The quality of the written text depends on the
use of strategies and techniques of writing, with a special
emphasis on the strategies of planning and correcting the
text. The aim of the research was to examine the relation
between the quality of the text, use of the two key writing
strategies and the educational level of students, attitudes to
writing and writing experience, attitudes to reading and
reading experience and attitudes concerning the value of
individual writing strategies. We measured the quality of the
text using the estimated cognitive level of processing
information in written texts. We measured the use of writing
strategies by the protocol-based self-evaluation. We
measured the attitude to writing and writing experience,
attitude to reading and reading experience, attitude on value
of certain writing strategies using the Writing and reading
questionnaire. The results show us that participants with a
higher level of education have better quality texts. We
established no difference in the quality of text regarding:
attitudes to writing and writing experience, attitudes to
reading and reading experience and attitudes on value of
certain writing strategies. We established no difference in the
use of strategic planning and correcting the text between the
participants of lower and higher level of education and
regarding the attitude to writing and writing experience. We
established difference in the use of strategic planning
regarding the attitudes to reading and reading experience
and attitudes on value of certain writing strategies. We
established no correlation between the quality of the text and
the use of writing strategies.
