MULLER, Valeska. Pedagogical Genres in Written Evaluations of Biology and History in Secondary Education. Rev. colomb. educ. [online]. 2021, n.82, pp.107-130.  Epub Apr 02, 2022. ISSN 0120-3916.  https://doi.org/10.17227/rce.num82-10470.

This research article shows a comparative analysis of pedagogical genres in the Biology and History areas, produced by two levels of high school students (1st and 3rd grade) in written evaluations. The concept of gender and the typology used in this study are based on the literacy developments promoted by the School of Sydney (Rose y Martin, 2012, Martin y Rose, 2008). The results of the analysis of the questions and answers obtained from 20 student evaluations, show that in the area of Biology the gender of the report is present in both levels, as well as the sequential and factorial explanations. In the area of History, the pedagogical genres concentrate on the historical narrative and explanations, which collaborate with the understanding of the processes and that, slightly, incorporate expression of judgments and various points of view. The differences in the genres used by the students, reflect the distinctions between structures of scientific and humanistic knowledge incipiently.

Keywords : Academic language; writing; literacy; student evaluation; writing research.
