Practicing phonomimetic (conducting-like) gestures facilitates vocal performance of typically developing children and children with autism: an experimental study

Bingham, Emelyne Marie 21 December 2020 (has links)
Every music teacher is likely to teach one or more children with autism, given that an average of one in 54 persons in the United States receives a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). ASD persons often show tremendous interest in music, and some even become masterful performers; however, the combination of deficits and abilities associated with ASD can pose unique challenges for music teachers. This experimental study shows that phonomimetic (conducting-like) gestures can be used to teach the expressive qualities of music. Children were asked to watch video recordings of conducting-like gestures and produce vocal sounds to match the gestures. The empirical findings indicate that motor training can strengthen the visual to vocomotor couplings in both populations, suggesting that phonomimetic gesture may be a suitable approach for teaching musical expression in inclusive classrooms.

Tecendo imagens : operando experiências no plano do "comum"

Spohr, Fúlvia da Silva January 2011 (has links)
Este trabalho conta como uma experiência com tecnologias videográficas produziu efeitos nos modos de coordenar ações, produzir distinções e nas emoções de um grupo de trabalhadores e usuários de um serviço de saúde mental, o CAPS II Cais Mental Centro/POA. A Oficina de Imagens é uma atividade terapêutica onde ocorre a produção de imagens que podem resultar em filmes. A ideia central do trabalho gira em torno dos efeitos surgidos a partir da problematização sobre uma série de imagens videográfica produzidas pelo coletivo da Oficina postas ao descarte, e de outras, a serem aproveitadas para construção de um filme. O grupo é tomado por um estranhamento sobre que imagens poderiam ou não compor um filme. Na Oficina de Edição, foi proposto utilizar as imagens descartadas nonsense, ou seja, aquelas desfocadas, tremidas ou fora de enquadre para a construção de um ―outro‖ vídeo – sendo possível, portanto, incluir o que, em um primeiro momento, fora excluído. A edição foi realizada pelo grupo no editor de imagens digital Windows Movie Maker. Esse processo possibilitou produzir deslocamentos e modulações nas redes de conversação entre os participantes. É a partir dessa experiência, que o convidamos a acompanhar, através do efeito patckwork (recurso narrativo), os deslocamentos operativos que se produziram nestes encontros, nestas redes de conversação. Assim, em uma perspectiva metodológica de pesquisa-intervenção, apresentamos alguns deslocamentos, produzidos no fazer com a Oficina de Edição de Imagens. Esse encontro dos integrantes da Oficina com o computador, o editor de imagens, as imagens descartadas, as redes de conversação se dá na ação, no fazer que potencializa a inserção social, autoria e a construção de outros modos de relação com a saúde/loucura, constituindo um plano de compartilhamento e também político, ao operar experiências no plano do "comum". / The main objective of this study is to report how an experience with video technology changed the way the actions were coordinated, the distinctions and emotions are produced in the group of people who work and use the mental health service, o CAPS II Cais Mental Centro/POA. The Image Workshop is a therapeutic activity, in which there are image productions, and they can be transformed into many films. The research focuses on the effects that are trigged through the problematization, concerned to a serie of video images, produced by the group that participated of the Workshop, that were discarded, as well as on the others that were used in the construction of a film. The group was not sure which images could be used in the film. At the Editing Workshop, it was suggested that the discarded images, the nonsense ones, could be used: the ones that were blurred, blur and did not fit in the construction of a video, so we concluded that it was possible to add what was considered firstly something excluded. Editing was performed by the group in the digital image editing, through the Windows Movie Maker. The process trigged many other networks for dialogue, different from the one that was constructed at the Image Workshop inicially, but we cannot consider the former more or less important than the recently produced, they were just seen as new and an opportunity to share experiencies. So, we invit the reader to follow, through the pachwork effect (a narrative resource), the operative replacement that were produced in the Workshops, in the network dialogues. Thus, through a methodological perspective of an intervention research, we present some of the replacement, produced at Editing Image Workshop. The experience that the participants of the group had with the computer, the editing and discarted images, changed the networks for dialogue, that were performed in the action and while the images were produced, so that they develop social inclusion, authorship and the construction of many other ways to deal with health/mental illness, building a new plan of sharing and also political, when many experiences were operated in a level whose experience were shared by all the participantes.

O cultivo do devir-consciente na aprendizagem da matemática

Zanette, Gilcéa Vargas Falkembach January 2010 (has links)
Baseada na abordagem da cognição enativa (VARELA, F.,1990), a temática principal deste estudo tem como objetivo abordar o acesso e exploração dos conhecimentos pré-refletidos numa experiência vivida em primeira pessoa. Para tanto, primordialmente, utiliza-se como eixo teórico, o desenvolvimento husserliano (1913/2006) sobre a redução fenomenológica-èpoché. Por sua vez, o fio condutor do desenvolvimento da práxis da pesquisa, orienta-se pelos estudos dos pesquisadores Depraz, Varela e Vermersch (2003) que a partir da releitura da obra de Husserl, propõem uma abordagem pragmática da experiência de como podemos nos tornar cientes da nossa própria consciência em ação, denominada de devir-consciente. Esta modalidade de atenção é acessada em primeira pessoa e para ser alcançada necessita ser cultivada. Na pesquisa que realizamos, os eventos em primeira pessoa aconteceram a partir de experiências de aprendizagem da matemática vivenciadas por dois alunos que apresentaram dificuldades de aprendizagem nesta área do conhecimento: ambos alunos frequentavam o Laboratório de Aprendizagem (LA) da Rede Municipal de Ensino de Porto Alegre. Utilizou-se a técnica da Entrevista de Explicitação (VERMERSCH, P.,2003) com os alunos durante as sessões de aula do LA, como instrumento de acesso aos conhecimentos pré-refletidos e como ferramenta de intervenção pedagógica para o acolhimento de breakdowns e cultivo do processo de devirconsciente. Esta técnica foi criada por Vermersch (2003), sendo embasada nos pressupostos da fenomenologia husserliana e na teoria de Piaget (1973,1977) sobre a tomada de consciência. O estudo sugeriu que é possível desenvolver nos alunos o cultivo da habilidade de torná-los cientes do seu fluxo cognitivo. Esta possibilidade foi alcançada a partir de um trabalho prático e disciplinado de atenção e acesso às experiências singulares de aprendizagem e conhecimentos ainda pré-egóicos e portanto, pré-refletidos nos alunos. Igualmente, o emergir dos momentos de breakdowns demonstraram ser sinalizadores importantes (DE-NARDIN, SORDI, 2007) e que, quando acolhidos pelo aluno e professor, podem servir como disparadores do processo de devir-consciente. Do ponto de vista da cognição, o desenvolvimento desta modalidade atencional que resgata os conhecimentos pré-refletidos do aluno, pode trazer a tona um manancial de conhecimentos e saberes teoricamente acessíveis, porém usualmente pouco explorados em situações de ensino-aprendizagem. / Based on the enactive cognitive approach (VARELA, F.,1990) , the main theme of this study is concerned to the access of one’s pre-reflected knowledge in a vivid experience in first person. The main theoretical ground comes from Husserl´s phenomenological development of èpoché (1913/2006). In turn, the main stream of the research praxis is guided by studies performed by researchers such as Depraz, Verela and Vermersch (2003), who reread Husserl’s work and proposed a pragmatic approach of the experience of becoming-aware of one’s own awareness in action. This modality of attention can be accessed in first person and, to be achieved, it needs to be cultivated. In this research, the first person events were developed in math learning experiences lived by two students who showed learning disabilities in that field. Both students attended the Learning Laboratory (LL) in a municipal public school of Porto Alegre. The Explicitation Interview Method (VERMERSCH, P.; 2003) was used with the students during the LL class sessions as a tool to access pre-reflected knowledge as well as a tool for pedagogical intervention during breakdowns and becoming-aware process of development. This method was based on Husserl’s phenomenology and on Piaget’s assumptions about the grasp of consciousness (1973,1977). The study suggested that it is possible to develop the student’s ability of becoming aware of her/his own cognitive flow. This possibility was achieved from a practical and disciplined work of attention in order to access to the particular experiences of learning which were still pre-reflexive and pre-egoic. Likewise, the emergence of breakdown moments showed to be an important sign (DENARDIN, M.H. & SORDI, R. 2007) which, once accepted by student and teacher, served as a trigger the becoming-aware process. From the point of view of cognition, the development of this modality of attention that recovers the student’s pre-reflected knowledge, can bring to surface a great variety of theoretical known devices although usually less explored in teaching-learning situations.

On the evolution of the heavenly spheres : an enactive approach to cosmography

McConville, David January 2014 (has links)
The ability to view the world from multiple perspectives is essential for tackling complex, interconnected challenges. Yet conventional academic structures are designed to produce knowledge through ever-increasing specialization and compartmentalization. This fragmentation is often reinforced by tacit dualistic assumptions that prioritize linear thinking and abstract ways of knowing. Though the need for integrated approaches has been widely acknowledged, effective techniques for transcending disciplinary boundaries remain elusive. This thesis describes a practical strategy that uses immersive visualizations to cultivate transdisciplinary perspectives. It develops an enactive approach to cosmography, contending that processes of visualizing and interpreting the cosmos iteratively shape ‘views’ of the ‘world.’ The archetypal trope of the heavenly sphere is examined to demonstrate the significance of its interpretations in this history of ideas. Action research and mixed methods are employed to elucidate the theoretical considerations, cultural relevance, and practical consequences of this approach. The study begins with an investigation into the recurring appearance of the heavenly sphere across time, in which its embodied origins, metaphorical influence, and material embodiments are considered. Particular attention is given to how cosmographic tools and techniques have facilitated imaginary ‘flights’ through the heavens, from the ecstatic bird’s eye view of the shaman to the ‘Archimedean point’ of modern science. It then examines how these cosmographic practices have shaped cosmological beliefs and paradigmatic assumptions. Next, the practical utility of this approach is demonstrated through the development of cosmographic hermeneutics, a technique using visual heuristics to interpret cosmic models from transdisciplinary world views. Finally, the performative practice of cosmotroping is described, in which cosmographic hermeneutics are applied to re-imagine the ancient dream of the transcendent ‘cosmic journey’ within immersive vision theaters. This study concludes that the re-emergence of the heavenly sphere within the contemporary Digital Universe Atlas provides a leverage point for illuminating the complexity of knowledge production processes. It is claimed that this research has produced a practical strategy for demonstrating that the ultimate Archimedean point is the ability to recognize the limits of our own knowledge, a crucial first step in cultivating much-needed multi-perspectival and paradoxical spherical thinking.

Mluvená komunikace v kontextu: Začlenění jazyka jakožto diskriminativního kódu do enaktivní kognice / Spoken communication in context: Integrating language as a discriminative code into enactive cognition

Oceláková, Zuzana January 2020 (has links)
Spoken communication is only one of many types of human interaction with the environment. The aim of this thesis is to propose a theory of spoken communication based on basic principles of cognition, which govern all our behaviour. To this end, two established theoretical positions are integrated: 1) the skilled intentionality framework (an enactive view of cognition) and 2) a discriminative approach to human communication. According to the resulting theory, communication is a skilful shaping of an interlocutor's envi- ronment which serves to fulfil the agent's positively biased expectations about her own situation. Language is presented as an assemblage of sociomaterial regularities that make this skilful behaviour possible. The suggested perspec- tive is radically action-oriented, in contrast with traditional representational, content-based approaches. The proposed view is then applied to two specific phenomena widely studied within speech sciences (namely categoricality of speech and turn taking) and is confronted with selected empirical findings. Possibilities of empirical testing of the suggested theory are discussed.
