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

Scientific Study from the year 2017 in the subject Didactics for the subject 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.
