Semiotic Process Cards as a tool to analyse learner’s mathematical interactions
Résumé
The semiotic of Charles Sanders Peirce offers a fruitful theoretical perspective to consider
mathematical activities of learners in the frame of diagrammatic reasoning and the use of signs of
different kinds. Within two research projects, this theoretical approach is used to develop and adopt
an analytical tool, the so-called Semiotic Process Cards. These cards are graphically designed and
allow for detailed tracing of the sign process that occurs during learners’ mathematical interactions.
The focussed analytical tool uses the sign concept of Peirce to show relations between signs,
highlights mathematical insights of learners and different representations. In this paper, the Semiotic
Process Cards are theoretically rooted and methodically described by two examples. While the first
project mainly considers written representations, the second one analyses gestures of second graders.
