ABSTRACT

Background

This paper examines ensemble learning in the context of ballet. We use more-than-representational theory to account for the “invisible” dimensions of ensemble learning, such as sensations, energy, or intensity that bodies sense, circulate, and evoke in others. We illuminate the mobile architectures that emerge in ensemble learning. Mobile architectures emerge when a performance (i.e., dance, athletic, drama), event (i.e., protest, sermon), or environment (i.e., classroom, makerspace) becomes charged as energy is evoked and circulated among bodies.

Methods

We describe eighteen months of video-recorded inquiry of teaching and learning in a weekly classical ballet variations class. We used interaction analysis to understand how sensations and energies move (among) bodies during learning.

Findings

Through our analysis, we show: 1) How mobile architectures form and dissolve, particularly as instructional time begins; 2) How audible expressions communicate energy and modulate ensemble learning and 3) How instruction transforms as the ensemble comes together and pulls apart.

Contributions

This paper contributes a deeper understanding of how learners attune to the relational complexity of learning. It offers accounts of the more-than-representational dimensions of embodiment and calls for further attention beyond the bodies of embodied learning (physical, gestural, tool-mediated dimensions) and toward the intensities, or energies, that those bodies produce together.

身体之外的学习：芭蕾舞变奏课中移动架构的制作

摘要

背景

本文研究了芭蕾舞背景下的集成学习。我们使用超越表征的理论来解释集成学习的“不可见”维度，例如身体感知、循环和唤起他人的感觉、能量或强度。我们阐明了集成学习中出现的移动架构。当表演（即舞蹈、运动、戏剧）、事件（即抗议、布道）或环境（即教室、创客空间）随着能量在身体之间的唤起和循环而变得充满活力时，就会出现移动架构。

方法

我们在每周一次的古典芭蕾变奏课中描述了 18 个月对教学和学习的录像询问。我们使用交互分析来了解在学习过程中感觉和能量如何在身体之间移动。

发现

通过我们的分析，我们展示了： 1) 移动架构是如何形成和消散的，尤其是在教学时间开始时；2) 听觉表达如何传达能量和调节合奏学习和 3) 指令如何随着合奏的结合和分离而转变。

贡献

本文有助于更深入地了解学习者如何适应学习的关系复杂性。它提供了对具象化的非具象维度的说明，并呼吁进一步关注具身学习的身体（身体、手势、工具介导的维度）以及这些身体共同产生的强度或能量。
