Microethnographic analysis of the reading-writing development of the argumentative commentary of texts in Medicine students at Universidad El Bosque ; Análisis microetnográfico sobre el desarrollo lectoescritor del comentario argumentativo de textos en estudiantes de Medicina de la Universidad El Bosque

From an ethnographic perspective, this study aims to explore (i) the learning and teaching practices that are linked to the innovative development of reading; and (ii) the argumentative commentary of multimodal texts produced by students enrolled in the Reading, Writing and Argumentation subject (LEA for its abbreviation in Spanish), at the School of Medicine of Universidad El Bosque (Bogotá). From a constructivist approach, a mixed methodology was applied, with a focus on the microethnographic component, within a classroom context, through a self-perception reading survey, and a constructed ad hoc reading test to characterize the group of students. Besides, class observations were included in a field diary and interviews conducted with the dean of the School, the students and the lecturers. The analysis of comments with an evaluation rubric and the Nvivo program, as well as the triangulation of all the collected data, revealed differences and deficiencies in students’ reading comprehension and argumentative writings. Likewise, the relationship that such communicative competence exert on the students’ argumentative capacity was verified. As a consequence, the didactic challenge of improving the argumentative commentary of multimodal texts with useful intertextual strategies is proposed as a way to develop communication skills and strengthen the biopsychosocial and cultural training of future doctors. ; Esta investigación presenta como objetivo el análisis etnográfico de las prácticas discentes y docentes vinculadas al desarrollo innovador de la lectura y el comentario argumentativo de textos multimodales en estudiantes de la asignatura Lectura, Escritura y Argumentación (LEA), de la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad El Bosque (Bogotá).
