ABSTRACT. This paper, which reports on a long-term teaching experiment carried out in the 9th and 10th grades of a scientific high school, is part of a larger co-ordinated research project. The work constitutes a ‘research for innovation’, in which action in the classroom is both a means and result of a study aimed at introducing pupils to theoretical thinking and at studying the ways in which this process is realised. The purpose of the study is to clarify the role of a particular software, Cabri-géomètre, in the teaching/learning process. Assuming a Vygotskian perspective, attention is focussed on the social construction of knowledge and on the semiotic mediation accomplished through cultural artefacts; the functioning of specific elements of the software will be described and analysed as instruments of semiotic mediation used by the teacher in classroom activities.

Abstract

ABSTRACT. This paper, which reports on a long-term teaching experiment carried out in the 9th and 10th grades of a scientific high school, is part of a larger co-ordinated research project. The work constitutes a ‘research for innovation’, in which action in the classroom is both a means and result of a study aimed at introducing pupils to theoretical thinking and at studying the ways in which this process is realised. The purpose of the study is to clarify the role of a particular software, Cabri-géomètre, in the teaching/learning process. Assuming a Vygotskian perspective, attention is focussed on the social construction of knowledge and on the semiotic mediation accomplished through cultural artefacts; the functioning of specific elements of the software will be described and analysed as instruments of semiotic mediation used by the teacher in classroom activities.
