Towards a proposal for ameliorating difficulties of preuniversity students with productive reformulations of an original text

Abstract

The aim of this article is to show and compare the different stages results of

a didactic experience through which we tried to contribute to reformulations

skill development of preuniversity students. This experience was performed

in a preuniversity reading and writing course given in Universidad Nacional

de General Sarmiento. We specially studied the difficulties students had

when they did the first course task that requires reformulation abilities:

replace a statement by a similar one. This experience will go some way

towards unraveling problems detected in said reformulations, and suggests

important implications for a future research.
