A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar os procedimentos empregados pelo sujeito na atividade tocar de ouvido, procurando compreender de que modo organiza suas ações para encontrar as notas da melodia no piano. Os três sujeitos que participaram deste estudo tinham idade entre 7 e 14 anos. A atividade de reprodução de uma melodia conhecida por audição representou recortes das aulas particulares de piano ministradas no município de Taquara/RS. Os dados foram coletados no segundo semestre de 2010 através dos seguintes instrumentos de registro: gravação em vídeo, diário de campo e anotações musicais feitas pelo próprio sujeito. Após as degravações dos vídeos, foram acrescentadas as anotações do diário de campo e as digitalizações dos materiais correspondentes às anotações dos alunos, constituindo os protocolos dos sujeitos. A partir dos protocolos, foi feita a decupagem das sequências de ações pertinentes para cada sujeito, tendo em vista o estudo pretendido. A coleta de dados teve como princípio a análise microgenética proposta por Inhelder e Cellérier (1996) associada à estratégia do estudo de caso (Yin, 2002). A interpretação dos dados foi realizada a partir da Epistemologia Genética de Jean Piaget, que possibilitou a compreensão da trajetória percorrida pelos sujeitos ao realizarem a atividade. Os resultados desta pesquisa poderão contribuir para a compreensão das significações feitas pelos alunos durante o processo de aprendizagem, bem como possibilitar novos olhares sobre a prática dos professores de instrumento. / The present research has the objective of analyzing the procedures used by the subject in the activity of playing a musical instrument by ear, trying to comprehend the way he/she organizes his/her actions in order to find melody notes on the piano. The three subjects that took part of this study were at the age between 7 and 14 years old. The activity of reproducing a familiar melody by ear represented excerpts in the schedule in private piano classes that are carried on in the city of Taquara/RS. The data was collected in the second semester of 2010, through out the following registration instruments: video records, field diary and musical notations made by the subject him/herself. After the transcription of the videos, the notations from the field diary and the digitalization of the material corresponding to the notations made by the students were added, constituting the protocol of the subjects. From the protocols the decoupage of the sequence of actions pertinent to each subject was made considering the intended study. The collection of the data had as its principle the microgenetic analysis proposed by Inhelder and Cellérier (1996) associated with the strategy of case study (Yin, 2002). The interpretation of the data was based on the Genetic Epistemology of Jean Piaget, which made it possible to comprehend the path the subjects explored while performing the suggested activity. The results of the present work may be a contribution for understanding the significations made by the students during the learning process as well as an opportunity for new sights upon the practice of musical instruments teachers.

Doctor of Philosophy / Department of Geography / J. M. Shawn Hutchinson / The theoretical framework of spatial microgenesis as presented by Siegel and White (1975), and updated by Montello (1998) posits that through exposure, humans will create spatial knowledge of places in their minds. This process is thought to be an ongoing one, and will eventually lead to a metrically-scaled ‘map-like’ image in the mind. In Siegel and White’s dominant framework, knowledge of space progresses through the stages of landmark and route, and ends with survey knowledge, whereas in Montello’s continuous framework, metrically-scaled survey knowledge is present from the first exposure. Beyond that primary difference between the two theoretical frameworks, the continuous framework also provides for greater nuance in how the process may occur for different individuals. There is little research directly addressing the differences between the two frameworks, and this dissertation adds support for the continuous framework by testing three of its five tenets. Utilizing a virtual environment as a laboratory, participants were exposed to a novel environment and asked to complete spatial tasks based on knowledge of the layout of said environment. Over the course of three sessions, measures of spatial knowledge were recorded using distance, direction, and sketch map tasks. The results support the first tenet of the continuous framework: metrically-scaled survey-type knowledge was found in all participants beginning with the first session. The concepts of landmark, route, and survey knowledge are still valuable though, as the results clearly showed that they help to describe the way that individuals conceptualize mental representations of space. These conceptualizations may potentially be valuable as a component of a larger spatial ontology for the American public school system. Regarding tenet two, some improvement in error rates was observed over time, but not at a statistically significant rate for all tasks, suggesting that other factors such as the study length and motivating factors may have played a role in performance. Tenet four was also supported, with significant variation in performance between participants with similar levels of exposure to the environment. Overall, this dissertation finds that the continuous framework is largely correct in its descriptions of the process of spatial microgenesis, albeit with some elements that are not fully supported by the data collected. Despite not being a good model of the process, the dominant framework remains valuable for describing how people conceptualize their spatial knowledge of environments.

A presente dissertação objetivou investigar as estratégias cognitivas de resolução de problemas em Robótica Educacional (RE) utilizando o kit semiestruturado LEGO Mindstorms® 9793 e programação RoboLab®. Com base na teoria da Microgênese Cognitiva, de Bärbel Inhleder, foram investigadas as estratégias cognitivas do sujeito psicológico para resolver problemas de Robótica Educacional. O estudo baseou-se na análise do caso de seis sujeitos, alunos de Robótica Educacional em nível de Ensino Fundamental, que resolveram individualmente um problema de RE. O procedimento de resolução do problema foi gravado em vídeo e analisado com suporte do software Transana®. A análise do procedimento dos sujeitos em situação de resolução de problema de Robótica Educacional com enfoque nas microgêneses cognitivas possibilitou visualizar como acontece a construção das estratégias de resolução de problemas através da elaboração da representação mental e construção ou atualização dos esquemas familiares através da ação do sujeito sobre os objetos e sobre si mesmo no nível operatório concreto. Os resultados finais apontam contribuições da análise microgenética para refletir a macrogênese cognitiva, além de indicar contribuições para o ensino de robótica e para o ensino em geral, voltado para a resolução de problemas e construção do conhecimento. / This thesis investigated the cognitive strategies for problem solving in Educational Robotics (ER) with the LEGO® Mindstorms 9793 kit and programming with RoboLab®.

A previous study with a group of adolescents, made up of 40 boys and 26 girls from 6th. to 8th. grades, showed personalized preferences, without a group tendency and linked to complex games. The need for non-experienced subjects in such games and for starting studies making use of a simpler game, led to the research of Tetris solution by two female university students. The procedure, which was individual and videotaped, consisted of a 4-proof pre-evaluation of possibilities, 9 sessions using Tetris (more than 30 games and about 10-hour filming per person) and 3 self-evaluations (after session-1; before sessions 4 and 9). The pre-evaluation revealed a formal level of thought for both subjects. A quantitative analysis showed great progress of the subjects: throughout the sessions, there was a fall in the average number of games, associated to long lasting games, to a larger production of lines and to a larger punctuation, with the advance from the building of unitary to double, triple and quadruple lines. The micro genetic analysis demonstrated the presence of equilibration as well as the dynamic of dialectic constructions and dialectic thoughts underlying the procedural and conceptual schemes. Although the final solutions have achieved a III-Level (Subject 1) and a II-III Level (Subject 2), there were initial possibilities and more elementary mistakes than it was hypothesized to people who had formal thought. On the other hand, the constructed interdependences, both initial and global, comprised larger complexity and scope than it was foreseen. The obtained results suggested that, when solving the Tetris, it was as if the subjects were remaking the cognitive evolution course, projecting their progress to the top level of their cognitive structures or tending to this level. / Com uma abordagem piagetiana e microgen?tica, investigou-se o pensamento dial?tico e a constitui??o de poss?veis na resolu??o e compreens?o de um jogo computadorizado. Um estudo pr?vio com adolescentes, 40 meninos e 26 meninas de 6? a 8? s?ries, mostrou prefer?ncias personalizadas, sem tend?ncia grupal e ligadas a jogos complexos. A necessidade de sujeitos inexperientes nestes jogos e de estudos iniciais com um jogo mais elementar levou ? pesquisa do processo resolutivo do Tetris por duas universit?rias. O procedimento, individual e filmado, incluiu pr?-avalia??o com 4 provas de poss?veis, 9 sess?es com o Tetris (mais de 30 jogos e cerca de 10 h de v?deo por sujeito) e 3 autoavalia??es (ap?s a sess?o-1; antes das sess?es 4 e 9). A pr?-avalia??o revelou n?vel formal de pensamento para os dois sujeitos. Uma an?lise quantitativa mostrou acentuado progresso dos sujeitos: ao longo das sess?es, queda no n?mero m?dio de jogos, associada ? sua maior dura??o, maior produ??o de linhas e maior pontua??o, com avan?o da forma??o de linhas unit?rias para compostas (duplas, triplas e qu?druplas). A an?lise microgen?tica da resolu??o indicou a presen?a de equilibra??o e da din?mica de constru??es dial?ticas e pensamento dial?tico, subjacentes aos esquemas procedurais e conceituais. Embora as solu??es finais tenham sido de N?vel-III (Sujeito 1) e N?vel II-III (Sujeito 2), ocorreram poss?veis iniciais e erros mais elementares do que o hipotetizado para sujeitos com pensamento formal. De outro lado, as interdepend?ncias criadas, iniciais como globais, comportaram abrang?ncia e complexidade maiores do que o previsto. Pelos dados obtidos, ao resolverem o Tetris, os sujeitos como que refizeram o percurso da evolu??o cognitiva, com seu progresso projetado at? o patamar de suas estruturas cognitivas ou tendendo a este patamar.

Participaram do estudo quinze estudantes do curso de Engenharia Civil e quinze do curso de Psicologia. O instrumento de investigação utilizado foi o jogo Torre de Hanói, cujo objetivo é transportar uma torre de n discos da coluna inicial para a coluna de destino, passando por uma coluna intermediária. A pesquisa desenvolveu-se em três etapas, a saber: etapa 1 - abrangendo tentativas de resolução do problema contido nas torres com 2, 3, 4 e 5 discos, seguidas do registro das jogadas em um protocolo; etapa 2 - compreendendo o preenchimento de um quadro por meio do qual se podiam analisar as regularidades entre o número de deslocamentos de cada disco e o número total de deslocamentos em cada torre; etapa 3 - envolvendo uma entrevista com base em um roteiro contendo questões sobre as estratégias utilizadas. Para analisar o processo de tomada de consciência, caracterizado pela relação entre o fazer e o compreender, foram elaborados seis níveis evolutivos (IA, IB, IIA, IIB, IIC e III). Os principais resultados obtidos permitiram verificar que, em relação ao fazer, a maioria dos participantes (60%) resolveu o problema contido em todas as torres. No entanto constatou-se que, enquanto a maioria dos estudantes de Engenharia Civil (80%) obteve êxito pleno, ou seja, solucionou o problema contido nas quatro torres com número mínimo de deslocamentos, a maioria dos de Psicologia (60%) obteve êxito parcial, isto é, resolveu o problema contido em algumas torres com um número mínimo de movimentos, e em outras, com número excedente de deslocamentos. No plano do compreender, verificou-se que a maioria dos alunos de Psicologia (66,7%) coordenou pelo menos duas estratégias por meio das conceituações, enquanto a maior parte dos de Engenharia Civil (53,3%) não conseguiu coordenar nenhuma. Quanto ao processo de tomada de consciência, os resultados mostraram que 33,34% dos alunos de Psicologia se encontravam no nível IIA, ou seja, alcançaram êxito parcial no nível do fazer e uma compreensão parcial do problema, enquanto 46,66% dos alunos de Engenharia Civil se encontravam no nível IIC, isto é, atingiram êxito pleno no nível do fazer e uma compreensão parcial do sistema contido no jogo. / This research investigated, with a microgenetics approach, the influence of two professional areas in the process of conscience building of the strategies and the procedures utilized by university students in the resolution of a problem contained in a game of rules. Participated in the study fifteen civil engineering students and fifteen psychology students. The instrument of investigation utilized was the Hanoi Tower game, which has the objective of transporting a tower of "n" discs from the initial column to another column, passing through an intermediary column. The research developed in three stages, as follows: stage 1 - grouping trials of resolution of the problem contained in towers with 2, 3, 4, and 5 discs, followed by the recording of the plays in a protocol; stage 2 - comprehending the construction of a table from which the regularities between the number of displacements of each disc and the total number of displacements in each tower; stage 3 - involving an interview based on a script containing questions about the utilized strategies. To analyze the process of conscience building, characterized by the relation between the do and the understand, six evolutionary levels (IA, IB, IIA, IIB, IIC and III) The main results obtained allowed to verify that, with respect to doing, most of the participants (60%) solved the problem contained in all towers. However, it was noticed that, while most of the Civil Engineering students (80%) achieved complete success, that is, solved the problem contained in the four towers with a minimum number of displacements, most of the psychology students (60%) achieved partial success, that is, solved the problem contained in some towers with a minimum number of movements and, for other towers, with an extra number of displacements. With respect to comprehending, it was verified that most of the psychology students (66,7%) coordinated at least two strategies by means of conceptualizing, while the majority of the engineering majors (53,3%) was not able to coordinate any. With respect to the process of conscience building, the results showed that 33,34% of the psychology students were classified on level IIA, meaning that they achieved partial success in doing and partial comprehension of the problem, while 46,66% of the Civil Engineering were classified on level IIC, that is, achieved complete success in doing and a partial comprehension of the system contained in the game.

<p>Modern virtually mobile technologies, largely facilitated by the Internet, have changed communication modes, methods, and even daily-lived experiences within the past 20 years. The most prevalent medium of virtual mobility, virtual reality (VR) manages information through the creation of analogies of the physical world. Recently, a new mode of computing called augmented reality (AR) has become increasingly ubiquitous through the proliferation of modern mobile handsets. AR utilizes augmentation of the physical realm rather than simulation as a guiding principle, binding together the physical and virtual realms. Through the use of context-aware features such as landmark identification, geodetic data, etc., AR is able to superimpose virtual information onto real-time displays of physical landscapes. It is in this way that AR is the first mode of computing that truly transcends the boundaries of the virtual and physical realms, demonstrating the concept of <em>dual presence</em>. The effects of this new medium of computing on navigation, wayfinding, and especially the developments involved in the creation of sense of place are largely unstudied. A phenomenological exploratory research design is carried out to seek to identify the effects AR facilitation has on respondents’ cognitive developments, including developments in wayfinding and the creation of social representations of place.</p> / Master of Arts (MA)
