- Define potential affiliations between strategies (in a developmental perspective
aimed at teaching written composition).
- Find out whether certain strategies are better suited to certain text types
(potential set of strategies constituting expertise).
By devising theoretical strategies, a priori, to describe the step-by-step execution of the
writing task, and then expressing those strategies in concrete form as model procedures to
be compared to the actual performance of revisers, we feel we have made the notion of
revising strategy operational for future hypothetico-deductive research.
