RESUMO

Based on the assumption that the school is responsible for the wider insertion of the individual in the literate culture - which implies assuming the formation of both competent readers and writers as one of the main objectives of education - and on the fact that children must be regarded, from the very early stages of learning, as effective users of the written language, this study aims at investigating young learnersreflections and actions when faced with challenging text production tasks. Assuming writing as a representative system depicted in different types of texts and taking into account that interaction with this object of knowledge and other learners is necessary to amplify the writing competence, one aims at making an analysis of the processes carried out with eight pairs of children, aged 4 to 6. With this in mind, the production of four texts (two nursery rhymes and two lists) based on different variables was proposed: texts known by heart and texts whose content had to be created; texts with different structures and communicative goals; computer written texts and handwritten texts; and texts which use two different graphic systems (letters and numbers). This case study is mainly concerned with the information and knowledge (of concept or procedure nature) shared by the children, and which subsidised the decisions taken in the actual writing of the texts. The data collected enables the realisation of the amplitude of the reflections which children are able to make, despite their lack of mastery of the writing system conventions or an awareness of the different existing text types. Beside this, the case study aims at placing the interaction among children as a relevant factor for individual achievement in the learning processes, surveying their most typical tendencies as well as distinguishing its singularities so as to focus the inherent diversity of building knowledge, which must be one of the pillars of teaching writing. In the light of the postulates of constructive theorists (Piaget; Vygotsky, Coll, Ferrero and Teberosky) as well as other theorists who emphasise the importance of social interchange in writing (among whom is Bakhtin), the analysis of discursive and notational aspects revealed in the elaboration of the writing process, proposes to help revise the present teaching practices of writing carried out at school, defending principles in which the conception of writing as a social and historical object of knowledge and the complexity of the learning process of this object are present.
