Abstract
Introduction. In general writing is understood as
a cognitive and linguistic process, in which thought
and language are involved. Digital writing refers to
the composition process supported by electronic
resources and, as a new form of writing, is transforming the production, processing and transmission
of information and knowledge. Objectives. This research work aimed to identify the most relevant metacognitive skills for writing digital texts among the
primary school students and study ways to develop
those skills, departing from a proposal of didactic intervention. Materials and methods. Two 4th grade
and one 5th grade groups participated, producing
written digital pieces during four months, within a
didactic situations framework. The information was
obtained from a self-registration questionnaire about
metacognitive skills associated to producing digital
texts and an observation scale for those skills. The
Willcoxon test was used to compare the averages
obtained by each group in the first and last applications of the self-registration questionnaire. A non-parametric variance analysis was made by the use of
the Kruskal–Wallis test, in order to compare the averages obtained by each group in ythe application of
the observation scale. The Ward method was used
to classify the most relevant metacognitive skills that
appeared in this scale´s analysis. Results. The didactic proposal implemented had a positive effect on
all of the metacognitive skills, with a special emphasis on those related to recognizing the task of writing
and the recognition of each student´s difficulties to
write. Conclusion. These results show an empiric
evidence concerning the teachable character of metacognition associated to the development of written
production, and the students/writer´s competence on the production of digital texts, even though a total responsibility of tools is presume don the matter.
