RESUMENLa revisión aporta una síntesis de las investigaciones de la escritura en la educación bá-sica realizadas durante el periodo 2007-2016 en Chile. Mediante el método de revisión integradora se identificaron 27 fuentes académicas que fueron clasificadas y analizadas en dos grandes áreas de estudio: aprendizaje de la escritura y enseñanza de la escritura. En el área del aprendizaje de la escritura de los estudiantes, las investigaciones se han enfocado principalmente en el análisis de conocimientos lingüísticos (ortografía y producción de oraciones) y en la valoración de la calidad de los textos, en su mayoría en textos narrativos, y en menor medida expositivos y de opinión. Por su parte, en el área de la enseñanza de la escritura, la atención se ha puesto principalmente en entender las prácticas de enseñanza de la composición de cuentos o textos de opinión. Menor atención han dedicado al estu-

Two hundred fifty-four intermediate-grade teachers (88% female) in urban public schools in Chile indicated how frequently they made writing instructional adaptations for their weakest writers, which included students with learning and other disabilities. A majority of teachers reported making the following adaptations for their weakest writers at least once a week: individual tutoring, assistance from a peer when writing, and extra instruction in grammar/spelling, planning/revising, handwriting, sentence construction, and text structure. On a monthly basis or more often, a majority of teachers reported they provided weaker writers with choice about writing assignments, the opportunity to complete an alternative writing assignment, and extra writing instruction via computer technology. How often an adaptation was applied did not differ by grade. The perceived adequacy of teacher undergraduate preparation to teach writing, their efficacy to teach writing, and the proportion of students with disability in their classes each made a unique and statistically significant contribution to predicting how frequently teachers applied adaptations for their weakest writers. The Chilean teachers in this study reportedly made adaptations for weaker writers in their class more often than teachers in studies conducted in other countries, including the United States.
