The new ways of writing of the youth mediated by technologies in a high school

Abstract

After the confinement process,one of the major topics discussed in education is the use of digital tools in the classroom, as well as the problem of writing. This became an issue that worries the entire educational community. Many authors addressed this issue, evidencing the great relevance of digital media today as an educational thematic axis,with writing as the leading factor. Sáez (2021) raises the great importance that the use of digital platforms among young people currently has,and how this influences the writing and reading of students of the new generations. This research attempts to find the voices of the protagonists regarding the changes that exist in writing mediated by digital tools, what aspects have changed and what are the factors that come into play when talking about digital education. This study iscontextualized in a public and technical school in the city of San Luis. To achieve the objectives, interviews were carried out with teachers and students and then surveys with another group of teachers from the first year of the secondary school where different perspectives were found. It was possible to glimpse a change in writing mediated by use and classroom dynamics, as well as the sociopolitical factor that goes through this process.
