Welcome to a K3 seminar with \u00c5sa Harvard Maare, Senior Lecturer in Visual Communication at K3. The title of the talk is:<\/p>\n
Collaborative problem-solving through embodied interaction<\/em><\/p>\n It will take place on Wednesday, January 30, at 10.15-12.00 in The K3 Open Studio, NIC 0541, Niagara.<\/p>\n Below you will find an abstract for the talk.<\/p>\n In most scientific studies on collaborative problem-solving, it is framed as an outcome of \u2013 mainly – verbal interaction between problem-solvers. Collaborative problem-solving is achieved through negotiation, discussion, comparison. In this paper I want to approach collaborative problem-solving as a mainly embodied activity, regulated by gaze, body position, gesture, imitation etc.<\/p>\n The \u201cproblem\u201d to solve is a geometrical problem expressed in visual form. Problem-solvers are 9-year old children working in pairs in the classroom during a mathematics lesson.<\/p>\n The method is interaction analysis. A video camera in the ceiling plus two handheld cameras document how problem-solvers take turns, observe other pairs, talk and interact, and to what extent these activities help them solve the problem.<\/p>\n What I will present during the seminar is the raw material (in spoken\/discussed format) of a paper intended for the International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, and I look forward to all criticisms and constructive proposals that the participants may come up with.<\/p>\n Keywords: observational learning, motivation, learning design, ethnomethodology, interaction analysis<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Welcome to a K3 seminar with \u00c5sa Harvard Maare, Senior Lecturer in Visual Communication at K3.
