Resumen

We studied the timing of writing processes using a direct retro-spective online technique, and differences in the textual product from the earliest school years where such a study is feasible to the final years of compulsory education. We also analysed a range of psychological variables to determine their modulating effect on writing. Participants comprised a highly purified sample of 348 students aged between 9 and 16 years old who presented standard development and average levels of curricular and writing competence. Our results reveal complex patterns in the develop-ment of the writing process and its orchestration, compared with the textu-al product, and no direct relationship was observed between development of the writing process and its timing, and improvement in the textual prod-uct. Among the youngest students, all this was mediated by psychological variables related to the existence of inaccurate perceptions of self-efficacy as regards the deployment and use of writing processes and causal attribu-tions to external factors. The implications, limitations and future perspecti-ves are discussed
