Abstract
VASQUEZ-ROCCA, Liliana. Description of the multimodal variation of the texts of students in the health area: Use and frequency of semiotic resources. Rev. Port. de Educação [online]. 2023, vol.36, n.2, e23034. Epub Oct 04, 2023. ISSN 0871-9187. https://doi.org/10.21814/rpe.26122.
The current cultural and historical context has highlighted the need to consider the development of writing in university students from a multimodal approach. The first is due to the expanding technological and semiotic landscape and the tendency to understand communication from a multimodal approach. Within this framework, this research describes the use and functions of the semiotic resources of the texts that university students in the health area usually write. A questionnaire was applied to a stratified sample of 255 students from 8 health sciences careers. After the descriptive statistical analysis, the results show that there are disciplinary differences in the use and function, that is, the use of semiotic resources varies according to the career being studied, which constitutes a challenge for the teaching of writing from a multimodal view.
