Abstract
GOMEZ LOPEZ, Luis Felipe; VALDES DAVILA, Ma. Guadalupe and CENTENO PARTIDA, Ma. de Lourdes. Between letters and children: mediating literacy development. Diálogos sobre educ. Temas actuales en investig. educ. [online]. 2021, vol.12, n.23, 00006. Epub Dec 06, 2021. ISSN 2007-2171. https://doi.org/10.32870/dse.v0i23.744.
This article analyzes the mediating interventions used in the development of early literacy with a group of nine children who present difficulties in its acquisition. They belong to low-income families that live in the south of the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area. The study was a qualitative case analysis of the work sessions held in a community care center during the first semester of 2019. For the analysis and interpretation, the sociocultural constructivism theoretical framework was used. The data collected allowed us to identify twelve mediational actions grouped into three broad categories: the meaning of the activity, direct teaching and the development of reflexive processes. We concluded that mediation processes helped children to learn, but more individual monitoring of each child’s learning is required to achieve better results.
