Crossroads of phenomenology and activity theory in the study of the number line perception
Year: 2015
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The research is a study of the productivity of a dual analysis of the same phenomenon from the cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT) and from the Husserlian phenomenological perspective. It analyses the eye-movements of children and their parents while they were operating with the number line. We also were focused on the interaction between children and parents while each parent was teaching the child and we analyzed it in correspondence with eye-movements. The implementation of the dual theoretical perspective to our eye-tracking data sources disclosed the subtle synchronization of intersubjective communication, already starting in the embodied, pre-reflective area of the cognitive experience. The two theoretical perspectives exerted a significant complementarity in bringing about the social and the subjective – intentional aspects of the phenomenon of learning.
