Reading & Writing as a learning tools

Research Topic
Abstract

This project explores how reading and writing function as learning tools in adolescents. The internship will examine the cognitive and socioemotional processes involved when students use literacy-based tasks to build knowledge about the world or themselves, and will contribute to the design of a small-scale study addressing gaps in educational science. The work will include a focused literature review, the development or adaptation of reading–writing tasks and instruments, and a short pilot with secondary or university students.
