Didactic interaction and picture book, keys to literary education. Building knowledge together

Abstract

The present research is situated within literary education and its aim is to take a closer look at strategies used in a teaching interaction, through the analysis of different forms of design and interaction. With this purpose in mind, the genre of picture books has been selected to be analyzed in classrooms as they are a recognized tool for the encouragement of interaction and the promotion of exploratory talk. It is from this perspective that picture books have been explored, as well as for the communicative and literary competences that are achieved by providing interactions. The exploration of these aspects has taken place in Arizmendi School as part of a training course. The everyday classroom practice of a 4th grade primary school teacher has been analyzed with specific regard to which types of interaction have been the most recurrent and how this helps in constructing knowledge and going into detail about the main topics of conversation.
