'I Sense' and 'I Can': Framing Intuitions in Social Interactions
AndrĂ , Chiara; Liljedahl, Peter
North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Paper presented at the Joint Meeting of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME) (38th) and the North American Chapter of the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME-NA) (36th, Vancouver, Canada, Jul 15-20, 2014)
In this article we examine intuitions as they emerge in groupwork activities. We provide a framework and a methodology to code various aspects of the activity, social and mathematical. Focusing mostly on students' gazes, we explore how affective moves give rise to, and determine, students' interactions and thoughts. We argue that intuition does not take place in the mind of the individual, it is not a matter of 'I think', but it arises from actions and reactions, in relationships with others and with artefacts. Data from a 50 minutes groupwork activity of four grade-9 students allows us to further discuss our framework. [For the complete proceedings, see ED597799.]
