RAMOS SYSTEM: METHOD FOR MULTIMODAL CAPTURE OF COLLABORATIVE WRITING PROCESSES IN PAIRS IN REAL TIME AND SPACE IN THE CLASSROOM

ABSTRACT: A large number of studies on real-time writing processes apply methods and techniques for data collection, under experimental methodological conditions. This article presents a multimodal capture system (visual, audio and written), which provides the researcher with simultaneous information of the writing process across the time and space of the classroom (ecological and didactic context). Visual recording is done through video cameras, capturing the context of the classroom and the interaction between students and teacher; audio recording is done through digital recorders and microphones, capturing the spontaneous speech of the writing process of students and the dialogue between the participants; the written registration is performed through smart pens and the HandSpy program, capturing the pen strokes on the sheet of paper. We describe each of these instruments, how they are used and the synchronization technique, generating a single media (film-synchronized). To illustrate how the Ramos System works, its importance and the advantages it offers to better understand the process of textual production (textual genesis) in didactic and ecological context, we present a qualitative and microgenetic analysis of pauses made by a pair of students (9 years old) while writing an invented story.摘要：大量针对实时写作过程的研究在实验方法论框架下采用了各类数据采集方法与技术。本文提出一套多模态采集系统（multimodal capture system，涵盖视觉、音频与书写模态），可为研究者提供课堂时空范围内（生态与教学语境下）写作过程的同步观测信息。其中，视觉采集通过摄像机完成，可记录课堂场景及师生间的互动行为；音频采集通过数字录音机与麦克风完成，可捕捉学生写作过程中的自发言语及参与者间的对话内容；书写记录则通过智能笔与HandSpy程序实现，可采集纸张表面的笔尖运动轨迹。本文详述了各采集设备的工作原理、使用方式及同步技术，最终生成单一同步媒体（同步影片）。为说明拉莫斯系统（Ramos System）的运作逻辑、核心价值与应用优势，以助力研究者更深入地理解教学与生态语境下的文本生成（textual genesis，文本发生过程），本文针对一对9岁学生在创作虚构故事时产生的停顿行为，展开了质性与微观发生学分析。
