Résumé
Cette recherche a pour but d’étudier la production écrite en temps réel chez l’enfant de 7 et 8 ans (CE1 et CE2). On a demandé à 12 enfants de 7 ans et à 12 de 8 ans de rédiger deux textes-un récit et un compterendu- et on les a filmés en train d’écrire. On a ensuite étudié les caractéristiques temporelles de leurs compositions: débits, pauses…
Nous observons trois phénomènes importants:
-
-le passage de 7 à 8 ans s’accompagne d’un accroissement important des débits.
-
-on trouve que la durée des pauses varie en fonction de l’organisation syntaxique qui les suit.
-
-on observe que les pauses longues tendent à suivre les marques de ponctuation mais à précéder les connecteurs inter-propositionnels
Abstract
The aim of this research is to study on-line written production in children. Twelve seven year old children and twelve eight year old children were asked to compose two texts (a narrative and a report). They were filmed as they wrote in order to investigate the temporal caracteristics of their composition (pauses, rates…).
The results show three main findings:
-
- the rates increases from seven to eight year old.
-
- pauses times varied according to the syntactic organisation of the next sentence.
-
- longer pause times are localized after punctuation marks and before connective.
