Improving Writing Skills via the Concept of Human Adaptability. An Experiment with Rubber Erasers

Scientific Study from the year 2017 in the subject Didactics - English - Pedagogy Literature Studies grade: 80.00 course: English language: English abstract: The rubber eraser was and still is a revolutionary invention that drastically changed how people write. No longer did a person have to worry about miswriting a word or committing a dumb mistake while writing. Nevertheless like many other great inventions erasers have been taken for granted and have been over-relied upon especially by students. This experimental research involves removing the eraser from students' environments for a set period of time in hope that without an eraser to bail them out students will start to focus more while writing.
