"The Thinking Hand" processos didáticos entre experiência e consciência

Abstract

From the intersection between mental drawing and the creative process, the dexterity of the 'thinking hand' assumes a pertinent question against the learning process. In the communication process of, the hand assumes the personality of each being and articulates itself between experience and knowledge. From the intersection of the literary works "The Thinking Hand" 1914, by the British educator James Gordon Legge, and "The Thinking Hand" 2009, by the Finnish architect Juhani Pallasmaa, three editions emerge, on FAUP, of the "The Thinking Hand" Didactic Workshop event. Coordinated by Luís Viegas (PhD), by Rui Américo Cardoso (PhD) and by Assucena Maria Miranda (Educator) the event developed by the DiPDArq integrated research line on the MDT research group in the CEAU-FAUP, in partnership with the Preschool of the Levante da Maia Group Folgosa School Center. In this follow-up, the present reflection arises from the two works "The Thinking Hand" and is based on the experienced experience of the three Didactic Workshop. From abstract to concrete, from unconsciousness to consciousness, this dissertation seeks to reflect on the problem of the 'thinking hand' as an inseparable element of the person in communication with the world.
