Social, Strutturale e Specializzato: tre significati per comprendere, studiare e utilizzare in classe i meme matematici

“…Il presente studio ha delle ovvie limitazioni, considerando che gli esempi presentati si basano solo su due esperimenti che coinvolgono un numero relativamente piccolo di studenti, ma conferma risultati che la letteratura accademica sui meme in generale e i meme matematici in particolare sta raccogliendo nel mondo, dagli Stati Uniti (Robinson & Robinson, 2021) all'Indonesia (Febliza et al, 2023). I meme matematici coinvolgono autore e lettore in un processo di cooperazione interpretativa (Eco, 1979) e raccontano idee matematiche caricandole di elementi emotivi che possono favorire l'attribuzione di un significato personale alle azioni nel processo di apprendimento (Skovsmose, 2005), introducendo «una cornice che possa sostenere le ragioni dell'apprendimento» (p. 94, traduzione dell'autrice).…”

Pedagogical models for the facilitation of teacher professional development via video-supported collaborative learning. A review of the state of the art

“…Video not only constituted a representation tool, but it also became an important learning tool and a medium for the collaborative building of cultural artifacts, in a framework of project-based learning and group work (Berg, 2016). The creation of video incorporated collaborative negotiations and decisions about planning, editing, narrative construction, viewing, narrative analysis, and critical thinking (Cavanagh & Peté, 2017;Robinson, 2009). Creating videos as part of project-based collaborative learning activities promoted "deeper engagement with subject matter through hands-on activities" and involved "a variety of learning modalities as opposed to predominantly passive reading and listening" (Hernández- Ramos, 2007, p. 33) but it is also an ideal task for developing collaboration skills (Jorm et al 2019).…”
