The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences of the cognitive writing process and revision skills between two groups of4th-grade elementary students. Group one used the experimental Chinese textbooks for more than 3 years, while Group two had been using the standardized Chinese textbooks. The number of subjects was 34 and 41 foreach group respectively. All students were asked to write an article, revise their own article, take the Revising Ability Test and fill in a survey on writing process and attitude. Results showed significant differences between these two groups--1. Group one''s cognitive writing process skills and writing performance were better than group two''s. 2. Group one was able to use cognitive revision skills recursively to improve their writing, while group two seldom reviewed or revised their articles.
