Abstract

This study provides a view of elementary school experienced and novice teachers’ perceptions on text quality evaluation of written products in Israel. Questionnaires explored: the perceptions of general elements adjudicated to text quality, a holistic textbased teachers’ evaluation concomitant with experts’ evaluation, and texts quality textual and linguistic indicators concordant with the experts’ ranking of the same texts. Questionnaires were collected from 204 participants (101 teacher-trainees of Elementary Education (TT), and 103 in-service teachers (T) in Elementary schools in Central Israel). The findings show that experienced (T) and novice (TT) teachers share knowledge about text quality when incipient writers are concerned. T’s evaluations diverged from the experts’ evaluations because they evaluate both process and product grounded in their knowledge and experience with writing stages of development underlying text production at different grade levels. TT converge with the experts’ “objective” evaluation because they focus on the text product.
