Abstract

Directed by the National University of Education of Ecuador and as part of the Research Project “Characterization of the written production of the students of Education and of the didactic conceptions of the teachers in four countries: Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela and Cuba”, obtained important results, which support in the framework of this work, the objective of revealing the difficulties in relation to the syntactic dimension in academic production. As a methodology, a diagnostic test was applied to 289 students; In the quantitative, descriptive statistics was used and, from the quantitative point of view, discourse analysis. Outstanding as results are the inadequacies in the use of cohesion resources by the student and the absence of didactic actions by teachers, who do not give due priority to said process. Comparatively, from highest to lowest difficulty are Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador and Cuba. Conclusion: in the writing process the most affected dimension is syntactic, the most neglected from the didactic point of view, because teachers see writing as an instrument of communication and not a process to be developed from the classes of any subject.
