Análisis de publicaciones sobre alfabetización inicial desde una perspectiva didáctica

Abstract

The aim of this work is to elaborate a systematic review of studies on teaching and learning of written language in Early Childhood Education in Spain. Studies published between 2009 and 2019 focused on teaching and learning classroom processes are considered, in order to know and analyse the teaching practices which are divulged from research. On one hand, results allow to detect a predominance of works focused on teacher’s activity in classroom in front of experimental works or literature reviews. A balance between quantitative and qualitative parameters measured and a higher attention to the period 3-6 years are also stated. On the other hand, literature data show a high diversity in teaching procedures to promote initial literacy in Early Childhood Education, with a predominance of practices related to a teacher guided systematic instruction (alphabet practice, instructional practice, syllabic method, synthetic method, etc.) in front of those related to a more collaborative sociocultural approach, (constructivism, projects, shared reading of stories, situational practice, etc.). Analysis of revised practices shows a teaching generally oriented towards the writing system and the control of achievements.
