Improvement of scriptural competence in primary basic education through the instructional and pedagogical mediation of video

The overall objective of this study was to apply the instructional model of Dorrego (1999), hinged on the pedagogical use of video to evaluate the consolidation of writing abilities in fifth-grade students of Basic Primary Education. The methodology used was of a quantitative nature, based on the semi-experimental study. Two groups were selected: one of control, which worked on the written text, and an experimental group, in which the intervention of the video was tested. The process began with the application of a pretest, subjected to evaluation through Colon’s writing rubric, which contains the main characteristics of written production (2003). Subsequently, an intervention treatment was carried out to improve the textual production. The study was completed with a post-test, evaluated with the aforementioned rubric. The results obtained highlight that the video could be used to improve written production, following the guidelines of the instructional design and enhancing its use
