THE PEDAGOGICAL MEDIATION IN THE INVENTED WRITING OF CHILDREN IN THE PROCESS OF LITERACY: WORDS WITH COMPLEX STRUCTURE

ABSTRACT:

In this article we analyze the effects of adult pedagogical mediation on the invented writing of words composed by syllables with consonant-vowel-consonant structure (CVC) and nasal vowel-consonant (nasal CV) by 6-year-old children of a public school. It is an intervention research, which according to Spinillo and Lautert (2009) aims at an engagement of the researcher with the educational reality, offering evidence for the construction of theoretical models and transformation of practice. An Invented Writing Program was developed (Alves Martins, 2017) with 10 sessions with groups of four children. The study revealed an advance of children in word writing with the syllabic structures investigated. In addition, it was possible to identify mediation strategies (the scaffolding) named in seven main categories (Management, Instruction, Inquiry, Signaling, Elaboration, Re-elaboration and Evaluation) as well as the predominance of some of them in the sessions (Inquiry, Management, Signaling and Elaboration) its importance for the learning process of written language.
