Abstract: | The production of written syntheses, which requires reading various sources and integrating information from these sources
into one’s own text, has been characterised as a potentially useful task for promoting constructive learning. This article
describes research aimed at examining and characterising written syntheses and the processes involved in producing them.
A case study was carried out of 45 students from four different educational levels (ranging from secondary school to university)
performing synthesis tasks set by their teachers. An analysis was made of the synthesis tasks set and the syntheses produced,
the prototypical procedures carried out at each educational level, and the quality of the written products. |
