How can a student experience what happens in the mind of a mathematician while solving a problem? In this paper we discuss a theoretical design of an educational script, based on digital interactive storytelling. Parallel to Docter’s ‘Inside Out’, the cognitive functions occurring in problem solving become characters of a story-problem. Students play the corresponding roles, alternatively as Actors or Onlookers. Besides the characters, the story-problem evolves along a sequence of episodes according to the cognitive processes involved. The script aims at developing students’ mathematics identity as the community of all of characters, together with their interactions while working.

Abstract
How can a student experience what happens in the mind of a mathematician while solving a problem? In this paper we discuss a theoretical design of an educational script, based on digital interactive storytelling. Parallel to Docter’s ‘Inside Out’, the cognitive functions occurring in problem solving become characters of a story-problem. Students play the corresponding roles, alternatively as Actors or Onlookers. Besides the characters, the story-problem evolves along a sequence of episodes according to the cognitive processes involved. The script aims at developing students’ mathematics identity as the community of all of characters, together with their interactions while working.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
