The adjustment situated towards an audiovisual work: the sharpening of culturally mediated sensibility

Abstract

The Skillful Intentionality Framework (SIF) is a perspective that allows studying cognition in sociocultural practices. It is an ecological theoretical approach that can be adapted to understand teaching-learning situations. This study aims to achieve an approximation to the SIF of the viewer academically involved with a film work. A virtual ethnographic experience was carried out, in which the written texts of two groups of psychology students academically involved with different study topics were explored. The texts showed how the participants' sensitivity to the observation of the film work is adjusted in the context of educational practice. The ideas of this study may be relevant to design meaningful knowledge construction experiences in the classroom from the interaction with cultural artifacts.
