Abstract
Kim Hyeyoun Despite the widespread use of keystroke logging tools in international research on digital writing, studies focusing on Korean logging data are scarce. Thus, this study aimed to bridge this gap by investigating the relationship between writing process behaviors and the quality of writing outcomes based on pause and revision information collected through keystroke logging tools. As part of a series of research projects exploring university students’ writing processes, 108 participants provided keystroke data on pauses and revisions, using Inputlog. Multivariate multiple regression analysis revealed that active writing time, pause duration, the number of inserted words, and the frequency of revision bursts significantly affected writing quality.
