Embodied cognition
Jousse (anthropology), Merleau-Ponty
Varela, Rosch, Thompson (cognitive science, psychology, philosophy)
Lakoff and Johnson
Radford (mathematics education)
Glenberg (Psychology) Johnson-Glenberg (science education, Virtual Reality)
“La traversée du Corps”, E. Ballanfat (philosophy)
Outer world Mind
Brains are for guiding interaction with the world,
and that interaction is mediated by the body
(Glenberg, 2010)
We think to act, and we act to ground our cognition
(F. Varela)
Deep understanding requires « embodied » simulation
(Glenberg, 2015)
« Gestural congruency » (Segal, 2011) :
new knowledge is acquired when
everyday gesture is in contradiction with
the didactical situation

13. Shooting stars, Earth and comets
10 years old class near Paris
July 11th 2018 - San Sebastian E. Rollinde - GIREP 2018 13

14. Questions of research
Q1 : models = what are the concepts used in “movement in astronomy” ?
What are the associated models and representation.
Q2 : internal / external representations of objects in astronomy
Q3 : interplay between language and gestures
Q4 : awareness
Q5 : semiotic and cultural aspects
