The interplay between dialogue, cognitive schemata and kinesthetic learning: Bodily explorations of force related concepts in physics

Abstract

We ask how students use communicative signs (e.g., speech and gesture) to shape
and develop cognitive schemata during a bodily exploration of force and motion in
a physics teaching-learning activity. We refer to this interplay between dialogue,
cognition, and bodily exploration as kinesthetic learning. In essence we ask: to an
outside observer (e.g. a teacher), what signs exist that students derive formally
correct meaning and understanding from kinesthetic learning?
