RESUMO

The recognition of writing as a fundamental element in the scholastic progress of individuals has sparked increasing interest in investigations on the subject among a large number of researchers in the fields of both psychology and education. Nonetheless, a considerable part of the investigations found in the scientific literature seem rest on the implicit presupposition that the act of writing is a resource that allows the individual the explicitation of ideas stored in his/her memory. Little has been said regarding the character writing has as a constituent of these very ideas. Recent attempts in this direction manifest a tendency to search for a supposed mechanism that is responsible for the generation of new ideas, where the central focus is on intrapsychological processes taken as subjacent to writing production. The approaches of cognitivist tradition are among those that see knowledge building in writing as an establishment process on the intrapsychic plane of new relations between prior pieces of knowledge. When considered, the interpychological and contextual aspects involved in writing production tend to be seen merely as agents of stimulation and generation of information necessary to writing. Countering this tendency, the present work rests on the presupposition that writing production has an important potential of human knowledge building. The aim of the work is to demonstrate that an individual is capable not only of explicitation when writing, but also building/updating knowledge. The production of written text is understood as an effort toward the construction of sense that will depend on the unfolding of the negotiations between the author and the many âvoicesâ (in the Bakhtinian sense) with which the individual dialogs while generating a written text. The existence of an inherent argumentativity in this negotiation process is what we consider the key aspect of the building/transforming nature of language. It is precisely in this argumentativity that we identify the constitutive potential of knowledge in writing production. Although it is not excluded from other modalities of language, we understand that such a process seems to find the ideal means to develop in the written form, given its character of available and permanent record that transforms it into a privileged object of reflection. Our data suggest that under certain production conditions and in particular discourse genres such as school genres, written text production is a process that develops with time, alternating between moments of stability and variability. In the production processes analyzed, the moments of variability give way to the instauration of the Local Revision process, which is characterized by dialogicalargumentative operations, leading to new moments of stability. These operations promote knowledge building, participating in the construction of the text itself. The types of knowledge identified in this process are diverse, such as content knowledge, pragmatic knowledge, linguistic knowledge and procedural knowledge
