Estudiantes como Autores de Audiolibros en un Ambiente de Aprendizaje Colaborativo

Abstract

In this report Colombian students of 11th grade take the lead and embrace their artistic abilities within a creative process that involves a pedagogical implementation, and constitute a journey in which they discover their skills as authors through the creation of a material called The Little Explorers and The Big Adventure in The Lost Island (Audiobook). Students who took part in this experience could integrate their abilities, likes and interests in order to produce this final material. The pedagogical implementation is based on Vygotsky’s learning theory about language development through social interaction and Bruner’s Discovery learning. We examined how the students dealt with authoring during the different stages that constitute the creation process itself: The recognition of literary works, writing production, drawing and plastic arts, music implementation and, finally, the recording phase where the authors recreate their original texts in an aural form.
