Learning kits : an alternative way to improve narrative writing

Abstract

Attempts to improve students' narrative writing skills can be Problematic. This is partly due to the teaching methods some teachers employ in the classroom. This article discusses the effect of learning kits on student performance in narrative writing. It also examined students' perceptions toward the use of learning kits. Results from three experiments and a questionnaire indicate that student performance in narrative writing increased significantly when learning kits were used and students thought learning kits were interesting and helpful.
