Titel
"Social Semiotics in the Teaching and Learning of University Science"
Sammanfattning
In this seminar I will discuss the application of social semiotics to the teaching and learning of university science. Social semiotics is the study of the meaning-making practices of specific social groups - in this case researchers within the science disciplines. Science disciplines leverage a wide range of semiotic resources such as graphs, diagrams, mathematical representations, hands on work with apparatus, language, gestures etc. In my work I study how students learn to integrate these resources to do physics and what teachers can do to help them in this process. Over the years, I have been involved in the development of a number of theoretical constructs to help us to better understand the different roles semiotic resources play in learning university physics. In this presentation I will explain some of these terms and give examples of their usefulness for teasing out how learning is taking place.
