Ο κρυφός πειραματικός χαρακτήρας της Γεωμετρίας και η διδακτική του αξιοποίηση μέσω των δυναμικών γεωμετρικών λογισμικών
Η Γεωμετρία, όπως διδάσκεται συχνά στο σχολείο, παρουσιάζεται ως μια σειρά θεωρημάτων και αποδείξεων· μια θετική, στατική δομή. Ωστόσο, πίσω από αυτή την εικόνα υπάρχει ένας πλούσιος πειραματικός πυρήνας: η διερεύνηση, η παρατήρηση, η εικασία, η μεταβολή σχημάτων, και η προβολή δυνατοτήτων που τα στατικά σχήματα δεν αποκαλύπτουν πλήρως.
Τα δυναμικά γεωμετρικά λογισμικά (GeoGebra, Sketchpad κ.ά.) επαναφέρουν αυτήν την πειραματική διάσταση στο προσκήνιο. Με αυτά:
• Τα σχήματα μπορούν να μετακινηθούν, να παραμορφωθούν, να εξερευνηθούν με άπειρους τρόπους, δίνοντας πολλές παρατηρήσεις χωρίς καταστροφή της κατασκευής.
• Ο μαθητής γίνεται ενεργός ερευνητής: κάνει πειράματα, ελέγχει υποθέσεις, διατυπώνει και επαληθεύει πρότυπα, βλέπει ειδικές περιπτώσεις και γενικεύσεις.
• Η μαθηματική μάθηση αποκτά έναν χαρακτήρα διερευνητικό — δεν είναι μόνο «μάθηση των αποδειγμένων», αλλά και «ανακάλυψη του πεδίου των αποδείξιμων».
Οι εργασίες που περιλαμβάνονται εδώ αποδεικνύουν ότι αυτή η διάσταση δεν είναι θεωρητική αλλά εφαρμόσιμη. Μέσα από παραδείγματα από την εκπαιδευτική πράξη, η χρήση δυναμικού λογισμικού αποδεικνύεται ότι μπορεί να ενισχύσει τη μαθηματική κατανόηση, τη δημιουργικότητα, και την ερευνητική ικανότητα των μαθητών.
Αυτό το βιβλιαράκι έχει στόχο να προσφέρει τη θεωρητική βάση, μεθοδολογία και πρακτικές εφαρμογές ώστε οι εκπαιδευτικοί να αξιοποιήσουν συστηματικά αυτές τις δυνατότητες στην τάξη.

Coupling is a key concept in the field of embodied interaction with digital products and systems, describing how digital phenomena relate to the physical world. In this paper, we present a Research through Design process in which the concept of coupling is explored and deepened. The use case that we employed to conduct our research is an industrial workplace proposed by Audi Brussels and Kuka. Our aim was to enrich this workplace with projection, or Spatial Augmented Reality, while focusing on operator interaction. We went through three successive design iterations, each of which resulted in a demonstrator. We present each of the three demonstrators, focusing on how they propelled our understanding of coupling. We establish a framework in which coupling between different events, be they physical or digital, emerges on four different aspects: time, location, direction, and expression. We bring the first three aspects together under one heading—coupling of meaning—and relate it to eas...

In this paper we present findings based on the design and study of a game like activity that allows for physical and bodily interaction around abstract concepts like energy and energy consumption in a collaborative learning setting. The game, called Weather Gods and Fruit Kids, uses motion sensing technologies in combination with tactile and audio feedback to create an embodied interactive setting without computer screens. We analyze and discuss the properties of the interactive setting as well as the interactions with and around the system using characteristics such as multiple modalities of response, large space interaction and aspects of focus and attention. The work suggests that alternative pedagogical activities can be created providing new entries to theoretical concepts using an embodied interaction approach. In particular it may support kinesthetic learners in their preference to learn by being physically engaged.

El juego una actividad forjadora de capacidades o habilidades para el desarrollo. En los primeros anos, la experiencia del juego esta relacionada con la construccion de la identidad, y constituye uno de los pilares de la confianza en uno mismo y en el otro, base de la salud mental. El jugar actua como regulador de experiencias y emociones, tanto del nino como del adulto, y de la interaccion entre ambos. Los “temas” del jugar son muy variados y su estudio puede ser un punto de partida fructifero para explorar diversos aspectos del desarrollo y de los modos de vinculacion con el otro. Se presenta un estudio acerca de los temas de juego en 32 ninos/as preescolares filmados/as durante 15 minutos de juego libre con sus madres.

Se evalua tambien la densidad y estabilidad de los temas y la proporcion en que son madre o nino quienes los proponen.Los resultados indican difere...

We consider the design space available for social robots in terms of a hierarchy of functional definitions: the essential properties in terms of a locus of interaction, autonomy, intelligence, awareness of humans as possessors of mental state, and awareness of humans as social interactors. We also suggest that the emphasis on physical embodiment in some segments of the social robotics community has obscured commonalities with a class of agents that are identical in all other respects. These definitions naturally suggest research issues, directions, and possibilities which we explore. Social robotics also lacks compelling 'killer apps' which we suggest would help focus the community on a research agenda. "A machine capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically, especially one programmable by a computer" "A machine that resembles a human and does mechanical, routine tasks on command" "Any machine or mechanical device that operates automatically with humanlike skill" "A machine resembling a human being and able to replicate certain human movements and functions automatically" "Devices that possesses some of these capabilities: accept electronic programming, process data or physical perceptions electronically, operate autonomously to some degree, move around, operate physical parts of itself or physical processes, sense and manipulate their environment, and exhibit intelligent behaviorespecially behavior which mimics humans or other animals" As these online dictionary definitions of 'robot' show, there is considerable confusion about what exactly the term 'robot' is supposed to mean. They attempt to blend two quite disparate underlying concepts: a device that perform physical actions, while at the same time resembling a human. Definitions in the more-formal literature are not much clearer: "A reprogrammable, multifunctional manipulator designed to move material, parts, tools, or specialized devices through various programmed motions for the performance of a variety of tasks" credited to the Robot Institute of America, 1979.

Gummi is an interaction technique and device concept based on physical deformation of a handheld device. The device consists of several layers of flexible electronic components, including sensors measuring deformation of the device. Users interact with this device by a combination of bending and 2D position control. Gummi explores physical interaction techniques and screen interfaces for such a device. Its graphical user interface facilitates a wide range of interaction tasks, focused on browsing of visual information. We implemented both hardware and software prototypes to explore and evaluate the proposed interaction techniques. Our evaluations have shown that users can grasp Gummi's key interaction principles within minutes. Gummi demonstrates promising possibilities for new interaction techniques and devices based on flexible electronic components.

Today, the transformation of the economy and politics into fundamental factors shaping social life, the integration of technological advancements and the effects of globalization into every aspect of life, have made modern living a highly fragmented process. The hypothesis of the research is that the disappearance of experience and the highly fragmented process in question tend to increase with digitalization. The aim of the study is to deeply understand the concept of experience and discuss its disappearance through transformed bodyspace relationship. Two main research questions are posed: "What are the values that constitute experience?", "Can the disappearance of experience be analyzed in the context of the body-space relationship in the digitalizing world?" Initially, the components of experience were analyzed based on written data obtained from 29 students. Five main components that make up the experience have been discovered: establishing meaning, randomness,
remembering, sense and feeling. These discovered components were evaluated in the context of the evolving notions of body and space with digitalization. It was concluded that digitalization has the potential to expand how we interact with the world, but it also poses a risk of altering the very essence of what it means to experience.

This paper outlines a PhD research project that questions the design of technology by investigating the human hand as a biomechanical tool. The intention is to research through a human centered design process focused on the hand, potential ways for the human to naturally interact with technology.

Embodied interaction has been claimed to offer important advantages for learning programming. However frequently claims have been based on intuitions and work in the area has focused largely around system-building rather than on evaluation and reflection around those claims. Taking into account research in the area as well as in areas such as tangibles, psychology of programming and the learning and teaching of programming, this paper identifies a set of important factors to take into account when analysing the potential of learning environments for programming employing embodied interaction. These factors are formulated as a set of questions that could be asked either when designing or analysing this type of learning environments.

How can we make it more appealing for young people to learn about and understand digital technology and computing concepts? We use both a different kind of interaction and a different kind of content to convey computing ideas such as subroutines, modules, abstraction, classes, objects and debugging. A crucial notion is embodied interaction, the idea that the child's interaction with the system should, in part, use her whole body, and not just fingers and eyes. In order to explore this approach we use the magic mirror, a device constructed from an interactive whiteboard and a camera such that when the child stands in front of it, the image she sees is her own but changed or augmented. For example it may show her in costume, or as a non-human creature. As she moves, so does her image. This device can be used as part of a lesson in which children create sequences of movements that can be recorded by the system and then manipulated in various ways to create more complex entities. The proposed work cuts across several disciplines, including education, psychology and computing, and will consider: in what ways can embodied authoring in principle (and in practice) be used to explore computing concepts, and, for each way, what advantages and disadvantages might it offer over traditional methods? In this paper we elaborate on the ways in which embodied authoring can support programming, explain the detail of the approach and report on some preliminary prototyping work we have undertaken.

INTIMAL is a physical-virtual system for relational listening, exploring the role of the body as interface that keeps memory of place in migratory contexts. The system is developed to integrate the body movements of performers (and their voices) with an oral archive. The system has been informed and tested by nine Colombian migrant women in Europe in a telematic performance between the cities of Oslo, Barcelona and London. In the performance a "complex narrative" emerged, for both the improvisers and the audiences. In this paper, we describe the conditions of the narrative environment, and the embodied expressions that emerged. We reflect on how this distributed embodied expression-through technological mediated sound and movement interactions-might further aid processes of collective remembering and catharsis, in a context of conflict and gendered migration.

Recent years have seen the emergence of a new interdisciplinary field called embodied or enactive cognitive science. Whereas traditional representationalism rests on a fixed inside-outside distinction, the embodied cognition perspective views mind and brain as a biological system that is rooted in body experience and interaction with other individuals. Embodiment refers to both the embedding of cognitive processes in brain circuitry and to the origin of these processes in an organism's sensory-motor experience. Thus, action and perception are no longer interpreted in terms of the classic physical-mental dichotomy, but rather as closely interlinked. This paper describes the cycles of brain-organism interaction, of sensory-motor interaction with the environment and of embodied interaction with others. The brain is then interpreted as an organ of modulation and transformation that mediates the cycles of organism-environment interaction. Finally, consequences of the embodied and enactive approach for psychiatry are pointed out, in particular for a circular concept of mental illness. Zusammenfassung Im letzten Jahrzehnt hat sich die ''embodied'' oder ,,enactive cognitive science'' als ein neues, interdisziplina ¨res Forschungsgebiet etabliert. Wa ¨hrend der herko ¨mmliche Repra ¨sentationalismus auf einer grundsa ¨tzlichen Innen-Außen-Unterscheidung beruht, betrachtet der Ansatz der ,,embodied cognition'' Geist und Gehirn als ein biologisches System, das in der ko ¨rperlichen Erfahrung und Interaktion mit anderen Individuen begru ¨ndet ist. Der Begriff der Verko ¨rperung bezieht sich dabei sowohl auf die Einbettung kognitiver Prozesse in neuronale Netzwerke also auch auf den Ursprung dieser Prozesse in der sensomotorischen Erfahrung eines lebendigen Organismus.

Inclusive musical instruments benefit from incorporating wearable interfaces into digital musical instrument design, creating opportunities for bodily felt experiences and movement-based interactions. In this article, we discuss the evolution of our inclusive design approach behind the design and performance practices of three wearable musical instruments. By focusing on the embodied, somatic, and tacit dimensions of movement-based musical interaction, we evaluate these case studies, combining the third and first-person perspectives. The design and implementation of the wearable sensing, utilizing the additive manufacturing techniques, are discussed for each instrument and its performer in specific cases of musical expression. This article further discusses how our approach integrates music performance as a crucial step into design and evaluation, utilizing these performance practices and such collaborative settings for improved diversity and inclusion. Finally, we examine how our d...

To be a genuinely useful methodology for cognitive psychology, situated action must be extended to explain higher-level human cognition. Yet there is a tension between the requirements for cognitive explanations and the kind of explanations situated action supplies. It is just not clear how to use embodied interaction with an external environment to explain processes that are so internal and that seem to crucially involve representatious and concepts. In short, there is nothing for concepts to interact with. Perhaps they interact with each other. This is the idea we explore here. We give a situated action style explanation for conceptual change in the context of analogical reminding. We have two central results: 1) analogical reminding changes concepts in long-term memory, and 2) concepts have implicit as well as explicit structure.

The application of mathematical theories of rational choice, such as individual decision theory, game theory, and social choice theory, to fields like economics, sociology, and politics has been rapidly increasing. Game theory in particular has emerged as the logical and mathematical framework for understanding the conflict and interaction between individuals. The ability to reinterpret past events through game theory models has made history an analytical narrative of events, with mathematics as the primary tool used to formalise universal models to analyse the interactions between agents. In this work we will illustrate an experimental educational laboratory developed with the students of the last classes of the Mathematical High School Project and dedicated to the theory of rational choices.

The following is a revised version of the text prepared by the author for his keynote speech at the opening session of the International Computer Music Conference 2013 (12.08.2013 Heath Ledger Theatre, State Theatre Centre, Perth, Western Australia). It bears on conceptual changes that have taken place, along the decades, in the shared notion of "computing" as relative to creative practices of sound-and music-making. In particular, the notion of computing is considered vis a vis the relationship, either implicity established or deliberately designed by practitioners, to the (necessarily hybrid) technological infrastructures of their work, as well as to the surrouding physical space where such practices take place. A path is outlined across subsequent connotations of computational tasks and the coupling (or decoupling) of computing resources to the physical environment: from "calculation", to "communication", to "media processing", to "embedded (or physical or tangible) interfaces". The author then illustrates features of a sound installation of his own, where a structural coupling is handled between the acoustics of a room environment and the equipment (the latter including simple computational resources, beside pro-and consumer-level electroaoustic tranducers). The example raises questions as to the potential complexity and richness of creative sound-making emerging when larger and larger sets of data streams -from different sources in the environment -are admitted to, and are coordinated as part of, the computing process. A comprehensive view of the "performance ecosystem" is needed to handle this strong integration of technological layers, and a practice-led account is needed to propertly situate the performer's (and listener's) body in such performative practices.

This full day workshop invites participants to consider the nexus where the interests of game design, the expectations of play and HCI meet: the game interface. Game interfaces seem different to the interface to other software and there have been a number of observations. Shneiderman famously noticed that while most software designers are intent on following the tenets of the “invisible computer” and making access easy for the user, games inter-faces are made for players: they embed challenge. Schell discusses a “strange” relationship between the player and the game enabled by the interface and user interface designers frequently opine that much can be learned from the design of game interfaces. So where does the game interface actually sit? Even more interesting is the question as to whether the history of the relationship and sub-sequent expectations are now limiting the potential of game design as an expressive form. Recent innovations in I/O design such as Nintendo’s Wii, Sony’s...

This study examines the dynamics of strategy-based online gaming, focusing on the game
LUDO by Zupee. It explores how specific strategies and player behaviors impact win rates and
whether strategies can minimize losses or maximize wins. Key rules, like fixed moves, the
ability to skip moves, and scoring rewards, create a strategic and balanced gameplay
environment.

This paper discusses the facilitation of actor training as a holistic education effected through somatic-informed processes of embodiment. It will draw on applications of the work of Moshe Feldenkrais (1904-1984), understood as an enactive and ecological model of reflective self-creation through movement, within actor training contexts. It examines the construction of a Feldenkrais-informed educational practice which draws on Feldenkrais’ practices of ‘Awareness through Movement’ and ‘Functional Integration’. In addressing the themes of this conference, this paper considers Doidge’s (2015) writings on neuroplasticity which places Feldenkrais’ non-dualist practices, within the development of ‘flexible minds’ (Feldenkrais 2010) and at the forefront of learning approaches that use embodiment as a vessel for transformation of brain functions.

This study examines how singer-songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie and her pre-lingual infant son, Cody, engage with each other in the sequential turn-taking process of conversation on a 1978 episode of Sesame Street. A multimodal analysis demonstrates that Cody relies on the audible prosodic contours of his mother's questions to provide responses by producing cries and relevant embodied behavior at ''transition relevance places'' . Buffy treats her son's responses to her questions as consequential parts of the interaction, and this in turn supports her son's language socialization. This study contributes to understanding how communication before language can occur through a reliance on prosody and via cries and relevant embodied behavior, and how turn-taking and sequencing can also be scaffolded through prosody and singing, which are ultimately conducive to language socialization.

While the prevalent discourse about robotics in design mainly addresses the robotic fabrication realm through new materials, tools and techniques, we observe that the designer-robot relationship is being left outside the frame. But, is this current use of the robot, as the designer's extended hand, the only role we can deploy in design? How about the robot being a partner in the creative design process? What kind of interface could induce such a mutualistic relationship? This panel explores the makings of embodied interfaces between designers and robots, from their early experimental collaborations by the Architecture Machine Group to their current configurations in design and art. We discuss how inclusive are these interfaces of our embodied, designerly, and computational ways of making things. And, also, how alternative and creative robotic performances can inform our design processes.

This study presents synthetic embodied conversational agents, and how they can be used to explore the persuasive potential of real embodied conversational agents. Utilizing a novel Wizard-of-Oz style approach and a direct measure of behavior change we explore whether 'ideal' embodied conversational agents have a similar persuasive impact as real people, and demonstrate the importance of visually perceiving for embodied conversational agents to be persuasive.

Today, Extended Reality (XR) technologies open up new possibilities in the cultural heritage domain by allowing the integration of digital content and new virtual layers onto cultural artifacts, as well as the facilitation of distinct interactive processes. XR environments, which encompass Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR), introduce new and intriguing experiences to the heritage field through multisensory and bodily interactions. This study aims to present a comprehensive state of the art regarding bodily interactions in cultural heritage-focused XR studies by reviewing and analyzing the existing literature. To do so, a systematic literature review protocol was adopted to understand how interactive experience is studied in the literature that involves body-related approaches and XR systems in cultural domains. A thorough examination of the literature was conducted using Elsevier's Scopus database, resulting in a dataset of 1063 records processed with VOSviewer. Within this dataset, the keyword co-occurrence analysis identified four cluster groups representing key themes in the literature that are related to bodily interactions in cultural heritage focused XR studies. These clusters were examined in more detail by empirically selecting literature samples. Network, density, and overlay visualizations were also created during the analysis to interpret and represent the results. This study contributes to a better understanding of the role of bodily interactions in XR and heritage studies in promoting cultural heritage preservation and dissemination.

Tangible, embedded and embodied technologies can enrich cultural heritage sites. Their design requires a solid understanding of the specific site, the needs and interests of user communities and stakeholders. Here we investigate how the physical and socio-cultural context influence potential design solutions despite of a seemingly similar context: historic cemeteries.

Radical constructivists advocate discovery-based pedagogical regimes that enable students to incrementally and continuously adapt their cognitive structures to the instrumented cultural environment. Some sociocultural theorists, however, maintain that learning implies discontinuity in conceptual development, because novices must appropriate expert analyses that are schematically incommensurate with their naive views. Adopting a conciliatory, dialectical perspective, we concur that naive and analytic schemes are operationally distinct and that cultural-historical artifacts are instrumental in schematic reconfiguration yet argue that students can be steered to bootstrap this reconfiguration in situ; moreover, students can do so without any direct modeling from persons fluent in the situated use of the artifacts. To support the plausibility of this mediated-discovery hypothesis, we present and analyze vignettes selected from empirical data gathered in a conjecture-driven design-based research study investigating the microgenesis of proportional reasoning through guided engagement in technology-based embodied interaction. 22 Grade 4-6 students participated in individual or paired semi-structured tutorial clinical Abrahamson's coauthors are all members of the Embodied Design Research Laboratory in the Graduate School of Education at the University of California, Berkeley. The construct of ''hook and shift'' first emerged during a debriefing interaction between Abrahamson and Trninic.

This article presents a mathematical framework based on information theory to compare temporally-extended embodied sensorimotor organizations. Central to this approach is the notion of configuration: a set of distances between information sources, statistically evaluated for a given time span. Because information distances capture simultaneously effects of physical closeness, intermodality, functional relationship and external couplings, a configuration characterizes an embodied interaction with a particular environment. In this approach, collections of skills can be mapped in a unified space as configurations of configurations. This article describes these different abstractions in a formal manner and presents results of preliminary experiments showing how this framework can be used to capture the behavioral organization of an autonomous robot.
