Abstract
We propose a framework of Interaction Design for Reflective Experience (RED). “Begreifbare” (graspable, in the sense of tangible and comprehensible) learning environments embody a designed experience that combines abstraction and concreteness, perception and cognition, and thus emphasizes both the impact of tangible, embodied interactions and the importance of symbols and signs for reflective experience. Our framework is based on the categories of space and experience, model and reflection.
Funding statement: Our research was funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG).
About the authors
Bernard Robben is a senior researcher in the working group Digital Media in Education (dimeb) at the university of Bremen. He has published various articles on media theory, the computer as a medium, tangible embedded and embodied interaction and the design of tangible and graspable media.
Bardo Herzig is full professor for didactics and media education at Paderborn University and director of the Center for Educational Research and Teacher Education (PLAZ Professional School). His research interests focus on the relation between media education and computer science and on design based educational research.
Tilman-Mathies Klar, Dipl.-Päd., studied educational science, psychology and sociology at the University of Bielefeld. He is currently working as research assistant at the department of educational science at Paderborn University. His research interests are in the field of media literacy and computer science with a focus on digital media in education.
Heidi Schelhowe is professor for “Digital Media in Education” at the Computer Science Department of the University of Bremen. She has a background in pedagogy, being a high school teacher for several years (German and Theology) as well as in computing science, owning a diploma and PhD in the field. Her special field of research and teaching is application of Digital Media for children as well as in university teaching, vocational training, and media literacy. From 2011–2014 she was vice president for teaching and learning at the University of Bremen. She is member of the ZDF Fernsehrat.
