It is the study of a model whose purpose is to guide the writing process of the didactic unit document, by teachers authors or experts in the disciplines. We use the nomenclature didactic unit as a series of teaching and learning activities assembled and organized for learning purposes (LIBÂNEO; FREITAS, [2009]). This model, named didactic unit template, is built with the components of a didactic unit, and may contain autoforming features, which facilitate the production of the final document, even by less experienced authors. Our main objective was to better understand the template, its composition and socio-rhetorical organization, to reflect if and in what way it affects the quality of the material it supports, contributing to the teaching and learning process. We use as theoretical foundation the socio-rhetorical studies of gender. The authors consulted were Swales (1990; 2004); Miller (1984, 2014); Bhatia (1993, 2001, 2012); Bazerman (2000); Bazerman and Miller (2011); Aguiar (2011); Biasi-Rodrigues and Bezerra (2012); Campos (2014); Crescitelli and Campos (2015) and Motta-Roth (1998; 2004). Being restricted the access to templates, for reasons of copyright, we began our study by textbooks, in view of being a type of text whose components are included in didactic units and for having their use recognized in the support of educational activities. We analysed ten books and, of these, we selected two to present the more detailed analysis. Having obtained a template of allowed use, named as Template COL, we were able to analyse it and reproduce it here. This model was created by the Commonwealth of Learning (COL), an international organization supporting education, especially in less developed countries. For a second example, we describe the items of a didactic unit template, based on our experience working with this type of model. In these models, we identify rhetorical moves and steps, according to Swales' (1990) CARS Model, to better understand the organization and interrelationship of its elements. In the course of research, we have a contact with a case study of a researcher active in the development of education in Namibia (FRÖHLICH, 2008), which shows the practical use of the template to support authors, even with less experience. The contact with the Template COL and the reality in which it is used has shown us that – in addition to helping in the quality of the final document, as we have seen previously because of our professional experience – the application of templates can be a valuable resource, including in less favored regions. Analysis by socio-rhetorical principles allowed us to see the text through more than one approach, considering its objectives, its functioning and the people affected by it. For us, it has been evident that the careful planning of the didactic unit and the construction of its final document in an organized way are important so that it fulfills its purpose with students and teachers. In this composition, the author can be aided by the template, which also requires planning and constitutes a tool to support the preparation of documents for educational purposes / Esta dissertação insere-se na Linha de Pesquisa: Texto e discurso nas modalidades oral e escrita do Programa de Estudos Pós-Graduados em Língua Portuguesa. Trata-se do estudo de um modelo cuja finalidade é guiar o processo de escrita do documento unidade didática, por autores professores ou especialistas nas disciplinas. Empregamos a nomenclatura unidade didática como sendo uma série de atividades de ensino e aprendizagem reunidas e organizadas com propósitos de aprendizagem (LIBÂNEO; FREITAS, [2009]). Esse modelo, nomeado template de unidade didática, é construído com os componentes de uma unidade didática, podendo conter recursos de autoformatação, que facilitam a produção do documento final, mesmo por autores menos experientes. Nosso objetivo principal foi conhecer melhor o template, sua composição e organização sociorretórica, para refletir se e de que maneira ele afeta a qualidade do material a que dá suporte, contribuindo com o processo de ensino e aprendizagem. Utilizamos como fundamentação teórica os estudos sociorretóricos de gênero. Os autores consultados foram Swales (1990; 2004); Miller (1984; 2015); Bhatia (1993; 2001; 2012); Bazerman (2000); Bazerman e Miller (2011); Aguiar (2011); Biasi-Rodrigues e Bezerra (2012); Crescitelli e Campos (2015) e Motta-Roth (1998; 2004). Sendo restrito o acesso a templates, por questões autorais, iniciamos nosso estudo por livros didáticos, tendo em vista serem um tipo de texto cujos componentes figuram em unidades didáticas e por terem seu uso consagrado no apoio a atividades educacionais. Analisamos dez livros e, desses, selecionamos dois para apresentar a análise mais detalhada. Tendo obtido um template de uso permitido, nomeado como Template COL, pudemos analisá-lo e reproduzi-lo aqui. Esse modelo foi criado pela Commonwealth of Learning (COL), organização internacional de apoio à educação, principalmente em países menos desenvolvidos. Para uma segunda exemplificação, descrevemos os itens de um template de unidade didática, baseadas em nossa experiência de trabalho com esse tipo de modelo. Identificamos, nesses modelos, os movimentos retóricos e passos, conforme o Modelo CARS, de Swales (1990), para entender melhor a organização e a inter-relação de seus elementos. No percurso de pesquisa, conhecemos um estudo de caso de uma pesquisadora atuante no desenvolvimento da educação na Namíbia (Fröhlich, 2008), que evidencia a utilidade prática do template para apoiar autores, mesmo com menor experiência. O contato com o Template COL e com a realidade em que é utilizado mostrou-nos que – além de auxiliar na qualidade do documento final, como já havíamos constatado anteriormente em razão de nossa experiência profissional – a aplicação de templates pode ser um valioso recurso, inclusive em regiões menos favorecidas. A análise por princípios sociorretóricos permitiu-nos ver o texto por mais de um enfoque, considerando seus objetivos, seu funcionamento e as pessoas que por ele são afetadas. Evidenciou-se, para nós, ser relevante o planejamento criterioso da unidade didática e a construção de seu documento final de maneira organizada, para que cumpra seu propósito junto a estudantes e professores. Nessa composição, o autor pode ser auxiliado pelo template, que requer, igualmente, planejamento e constitui uma ferramenta de apoio à elaboração de documentos com fins didáticos

With an increase of Swedish upper-secondary students’ motivation to enrol in university studies (Statistics Sweden, 2020a, 2020b), teachers must ensure that learners are adequately equipped to meet the expectations of higher education. However, in a national report, Skolinspektionen (2015) states many students fail to meet the standards of academic writing when undertaking the diploma project. To ensure learners become eligible for graduation and prepared for university studies, teachers need to be able to instruct pupils and to design effective scaffolding for diploma project writing. Therefore, the following study investigates the applicability of a genre-based model as atool for analysing relevant student-produced researchers papers written by EFL students, and to what extent the same genre-pedagogical analytical framework may be suitable as a tool for helping teachers to develop scaffolding for diploma projects written in English (and other languages). To address questions, a direct content analysis employing John Swales’ CARS model (1990) of rhetorical moves as a conceptual framework as a point of departure was performed on six EFL teacher-student research papers from the English and Education program for upper-secondary teachers of English at Malmö university. The analysis demonstrated that while several moves were executed in the pre-service teachers’ papers, some moves were absent. Additionally, several unconventional moves were identified, which can be attributed to the specific genres of the independent and degree projects. Hence, Swales’ CARS model is applicable for analysing student-produced research papers following the IMRAD structure. However, further investigation is encouraged into the genre-specific features of the student papers and the subsequent adaptation of the model to reflect the student-paper genre more closely. Consequently, to employ the model for designing scaffolding for diploma projects, teachers need to develop a critical understanding of moves employed within and across disciplines and teach them explicitly as part of pupils’ training and assessment in the writing process. Finally, further research targeting how teachers design and implement explicit genre-based writing scaffolding is called for.
