Meeting the Challenges of Designing Multimodal Texts to Promote Multiliteracies Pedagogy
This article aims to add to the understanding of the challenges involved in designing digital texts to promote multiliteracies pedagogy. A multiliteracies approach calls for multimodal meaning-making and cultural diversity to be integrated into new school curriculum content, and accordingly, we anal...

A multiliteracies approach calls for multimodal meaning-making and cultural diversity to be integrated into new school curriculum content, and accordingly, we analyse an interactive children’s story app, named Mobeybou in Brazil. The research question addressed was: what can we learn about the design of multimodal texts aimed at promoting intercultural learning from the design of this story app? The app incorporates tangible and digital storytelling materials to promote intercultural skills among young children, focusing specifically on Brazil. Mobeybou in Brazil was studied to characterize the design of its multimodal representations of meaning, using categories from the grammar of storytelling and multimodal meaning-making, particularly those concerned with representing the experiential diversity and personal positioning of the app users. The findings provide evidence of the complexity involved in designing multimodal texts to meet the challenges of promoting multiliteracies pedagogy, highlighting the urgent need to narrow the interface between research undertaken in education, semiotics, and digital media design.

Este artigo pretende contribuir para a compreensão dos desafios colocados pelo design de textos digitais especificamente destinados a promover a pedagogia das multiliteracias. Esta abordagem pedagógica defende que a compreensão e produção de significados multimodais e a diversidade cultural são conteúdos incontornáveis no novo currículo escolar. Apresentamos o estudo de uma story app multimodal interativa, intitulada Mobeybou no Brasil, desenvolvida para dar resposta à seguinte questão de investigação: o que se pode aprender sobre o design de textos multimodais destinados a promover a aprendizagem intercultural a partir do design desta story app? Na nossa análise, utilizamos categorias da gramática da narrativa e da representação multimodal incidentes na representação da diversidade experiencial e do posicionamento pessoal dos utilizadores. Os resultados sugerem a complexidade envolvida no design de textos multimodais que respondem aos desafios da pedagogia das multiliteracias, salientando a necessidade urgente do estreitamento da colaboração entre a investigação realizada nas áreas da educação, da semiótica e do design de média digitais. Por fim, identificamos as limitações do estudo, apontando alguns desenvolvimentos futuros. |
