Resumen

Este artículo presenta una investigación sobre un proyecto virtual de tutoría entre iguales recíproca para el aprendizaje y mejora del español e inglés. Alumnos de 9 a 12 años de Escocia y Cataluña fueron emparejados, de forma que cada alumno ejerciese de tutor de su propia lengua del otro compañero. Se pretendía que los alumnos mejoraran tanto su propia lengua (corrigiendo al tutorado), como la lengua extranjera (a partir de las ayudas de su tutor), ejerciendo así tanto de tutores como de tutorados. La investigación combina un diseño cuasi experimental con grupos de control, con un análisis del proceso, a través de los intercambios (textos y correcciones) y de entrevistas. Los resultados muestran que el grado de ayuda ofrecida por los tutores parece relevante para explicar las mejoras detectadas en las habilidades lingüísticas.

Abstract

This paper reports data from an on-line peer tutoring project, the objective being the learning and improvement of the Spanish and English language. Pupils aged between 9 and 12 years old from Scotland and Catalonia were paired for the purpose of each pupil acting as a tutor of their own language within his or her pair. The aim was to improve the knowledge and use of their own language (by correcting their tutee) as well as the modern language (through the help of their tutor) acting as tutors and also as a tutees. The research combines a quasi-experimental design, using control groups, and in depth analysis of the process throughout the exchanges (texts and corrections) and interviews with the subjects. The results show that the degree of help offered by the tutors appears to be a very relevant factor when assessing the improvement detected in the linguistic abilities.
