INTERACTIVE COMMENTS AS ENHANCERS OF THE (RE)WRITING PROCESS OF HIGHER EDUCATION STUDENTS IN A BLENDED TEACHING MODALITY

Abstract

In many teaching contexts, proposals for textual production do not receive due attention: the objective of writing is restricted to evaluation and, sometimes, students do not have a clear idea of ​​what is being evaluated. This article seeks to report an investigative experience developed in an institutional, semi-presential curricular component of a University of Rio Grande do Sul. The research aimed to verify the effects on textual production in a blended teaching modality, from the interaction between students, through interactive comments, as well as analyzing the perceptions of these students during the process of (re)writing in a Virtual Learning Environment. The methodology was materialized from the analysis of excerpts from two textual productions by the students, from the comments made by their classmates in order to improve their texts and the rewriting of those texts. In addition, a questionnaire was developed with questions about students' perceptions of the (re)writing process. From the analysis of excerpts from the texts in their initial versions, from the interactive comments, from the rewrites of the texts after the interaction between the students and from the students' perceptions about this process, it is clear that the use of interactive comments, in virtual environments of learning, can enhance the textual production of undergraduate students in blended teaching modality.
