Multimodality of Explanation in Physics Class. Literacy engineering students

Resumo

Qualitative study, aims to research about multimodal characteristics, of physics professors actions in the classroom. From a social, semiotic, rhetoric and argumentative perspective, we analyze the resources and communicative modes which work together with the verbal language and the functions each other of them, in the electromagnetism explanations. The results give us information about the role of different communicative modes to create scientific meaning and especially for to build own literacy in the engineering community; also give us information for improve the teachers communication skills for a specific audience.
