INTRODUCTION Teaching how to write is a continuous process that begins in the first years andprogresses throughout a child's education. After learning the alphabeticcode, it becomes a cross-cutting task that progressively extends to allcurricular areas, making "Learning to write and writing to learn" essential.  The Capacity Building initiative focused on the teaching of the writing process andwas planned considering the lack of programs in Central America and theCaribbean that address the subject of writing as a continuum. Aimed at keystakeholders, the training strategy focused on the topic: "development ofemergent and early writing.” This initiative included two conferences and three workshops in Guatemala.

METHODOLOGY

For the development of the workshops, a simple methodological process was used whereparticipants experienced firsthand how to write books. This process took place in fourstages with different activities. 1) Modeling: Consists explicitly of teaching each topic through giving concrete examples. Inthis stage the facilitator has the leading role and explains the “thinking aloud” (Clark 1984)while modeling the learning that is expected to take place at the same time. Example: Role of the facilitator to model (planning to write)

2) Guided practice: After having observed the facilitator's modeling, students carry outlearning activities where they apply what they have learned in the modeling and areaccompanied by the facilitator. If the students show that have mastered this phase,they will go on to the next step of the independent practice methodology, and ifnot, the facilitator should return to the modeling phase.  Example: Role of the facilitator in directed practice (planning to write)

3) Independent practice: At this last phase of the methodology, the student mustindependently carry out the learning activities, which have been addressed during modelingand guided practice. Example: Role of the facilitator in independent practice (planning to write)

 4) Increase in the level of complexity: After the students have already experienced eachmethodology phase of their learning, the activities must have an increasingly high degree ofcomplexity. When referring to a higher level, it means that you can first plan what will beincluded in a sentence, then in a paragraph, and so on until you extend it to a larger andmore complex text.

 Through this experience, andragogy, pedagogy, didactics andneuroscience were unified to provide participants with a trainingprocess that responded to their needs and interests. They could alsoanalyze and be empathetic, assuming the role that children may playand experience as they go through the writing process and especiallythe role of the teacher who must intentionally teach writing. This formative experience showed how to apply the evidence andtheory related to the process of teaching writing, through a workshopformat, which was developed through written documents that supportthe topic, therefore consisting of 30% theory and 70% practice, asdescribed in the methodology. The experience imparted knowledge and at the same time developedthe capacity among the different participants. Later, in the differentareas where they work, they can replicate what they have learned, todemonstrate the fidelity of the training in their instruction.

Through the process, 80 education professionals and key stakeholderswere trained to foster the teaching of writing at the national level. Eachparticipant wrote, revised, edited and published a book, most of themwere narratives, but the interest in communication was evident toenrich the written production that exists among educators.

There is still much to do in the LAC region. It is necessary to developcomprehensive processes and within the same school system thatallows students and teachers themselves to develop the ability toproduce texts. since in many cases there is the pre-conception thatwriting is to just to plan or to reproduce a text and even just copying.

The participants indicated that they had never had the support towrite, neither in their childhood nor in their higher education process,as in this formative experience when writing their books.

METODOLOGÍA

Para el desarrollo de los talleres se utilizó un proceso metodológico sencillo pero enfocadoen llevar a los participantes a vivir la experiencia de aprender, de tal razón se realizaronpara las diferentes actividades cuatro momentos, 1) Modelaje: Momento que consiste en dar a conocer de manera explícita cada uno de lostemas, dando ejemplos concretos. Aquí el facilitador tiene el protagonismo y explica el“pensamiento en voz alta” (Clark 1984) al mismo tiempo que modela, el aprendizaje que sequiere dar a conocer.  Ejemplo: Rol del facilitador para modelar (planificación del escrito)

2) Práctica dirigida o guiada:  Luego de haber observado el modelaje del facilitador, losestudiantes realizan actividades de aprendizaje donde aplican los conocimientosadquiridos en el modelaje acompañados del facilitador.  Ejemplo: Rol del facilitador en la práctica dirigida(planificación del escrito)

3) Práctica independiente, en este último momento de la metodología el estudiantedeberá resolver de forma independiente actividades de aprendizaje, mismas que han sidoabordadas en los momentos de modelaje y práctica guiada. Ejemplo: Rol del facilitador en la práctica independiente (planificación del escrito)

4) Incremento del nivel de complejidad, luego que los estudiantes ya han vivenciado cadauno de los momentos de la metodología y adquirido el aprendizaje, las actividades debende tener un grado de complejidad cada vez más elevado. Cuando se refiere a un nivel máselevado significa que primero se puede planificar lo que se incluirá en una oración, luego enun párrafo y así hasta extenderlo a un texto más amplio y complejo.

INTRODUCCIÓN La enseñanza de la escritura es un proceso continuo, que da inicio desde losprimeros años y progresa a lo largo de la formación del niño. Posterior a laadquisición de código alfabético, se convierte en una tarea transversal que seextiende progresivamente a todas las áreas curriculares, lo que hace ineludible“Aprender a escribir y escribir para aprender”. Ante la carencia de programas en Centro América y Caribe que aborden el tema dela escritura como un continuo, se organizó la Estrategia de Formación deCapacidades en la Enseñanza de la Escritura, dirigida a actores clave, dentro de latemática abordada está el “desarrollo de la escritura emergente e inicial." Este esfuerzo incluyó dos conferencias y tres talleres en Guatemala. Los talleres sedesarrollan en jornadas de dos días cada uno, en los meses de junio, julio yseptiembre. Sumando 48 horas de formación, dirigidas al conocimiento ymodelaje de prácticas exitosas para la escritura. Este proceso permitió que losparticipantes vivieran la experiencia de escribir su propio libro y comprendieran através de la práctica lo que este proceso de aprendizaje implica un estudiante. Objetivos de la estrategia de formación sobre desarrollo de la escritura en lasetapas emergente e inicial 

A través de esta experiencia se unificó la andragogía, pedagogía,didáctica y neurociencia con el fin de brindar a los participantes unproceso formativo que respondiera a sus necesidades e intereses y quetambién pudieran analizar y ser empáticos asumiendo el rol que losniños deberían de experimentar mientras atraviesan el proceso deescritura y sobre todo el rol del docente que debe de formaintencionada enseñar a escribir. Esta experiencia formativa permitió que la evidencia y teoría que setiene relacionada a ¿cómo se debe de abordar el proceso deenseñanza de la escritura?, llegó a los participantes a través delformato de taller, mismos que se apoyaron con documentos escritosque fundamentan la temática desarrollada, para que fuera un 30 % deteoría y un 70 % de práctica, tal como se describe en la metodología. La experiencia también al mismo tiempo que impartía conocimientosestaba formando capacidades en los diferentes participantes para queluego en los diferentes ámbitos donde estos se desenvuelven puedande una u otra manera replicar dicha información, garantizando así dealgún modo la fidelidad en la réplica.

En el proceso se formaron 80 profesionales de la educación y actores clavepara impulsar la enseñanza de la producción escrita a nivel nacional. Cadauno de ellos escribió, revisó, editó y publicó un libro, la mayoría de ellosfueron narrativos, pero se evidenció el interés de comunicación y deseo deenriquecer la producción escrita que existe entre los educadores.

En la región aún queda mucho por hacer, es necesario desarrollar procesosintegrales y dentro del mismo sistema escolar que permita a los estudiantesy a los mismos docentes desarrollar la capacidad de producir textos ya queen muchos casos se tiene la concepción que escritura es realizar planas oreproducir e incluso transcribir sólo el código.

Los participantes de este proceso indicaron que nunca habían tenido elacompañamiento para redactar ni en su niñez, ni en su proceso deformación superior, como en esta experiencia formativa al redactar su textonarrativo.
