The "Research on Personalized Composition Writing among Middle School Students" Research Team believes that individuality refers to a person's independence, uniqueness, and irreplaceability. In pedagogy, individuality is defined as "a unique whole composed of multiple qualities formed on the basis of innate traits, through interaction with the post-natal environment, which facilitates self-liberation," with its most important qualities being distinctiveness and novelty. We believe that the fundamental essence of personalized composition writing is: autonomy, authenticity, innovation, and wholeness.
Autonomy means writing out of the need to express oneself, writing about what one wants to write, and expressing oneself in one's preferred manner. Authenticity means speaking the truth, writing the truth, and expressing genuine feelings and sincerity. Seeking truth is the cornerstone of proper writing style and also a principle of conduct. Innovation means daring to break through old conventions, thinking independently, having one's own unique insights, adopting new methods of expression, and developing a fresh style. Only original and novel elements are truly personalized. Wholeness means that individuality is not just about extreme personalism but also encompasses richness, sociality, humanistic sentiments, broad perspectives, and an open-minded attitude. Therefore, personalized composition writing must possess individualized thinking, personalized ideas, personalized structure, and personalized language style, with the former playing a decisive role.
Gathering students' compositions under the banner of individuality is a conscious practice in the pursuit of personalized composition writing. We hope that this can open up a new era in students' writing, allowing them to develop a love for writing, making writing a lifestyle for expressing inner thoughts, showcasing growth, and liberating their spirits. Through writing, students can gain freedom of thought, joy in life, and an appreciation of beauty.
