Abstract

Presented at Strathlcyde Research Day, June 2008: Comprehend Understanding – How Theories Help to Explore the Creation of Meaning. Nathalie Tasler. The working title for my PhD research project is ‘Creative Learning Processes of Refugee Children and the Utilisation of Social Capital’. Due to the focus on learning processes and the utilisation of Social Capital I was interested in looking into paradigms which engage with the creation of meaning, thus the reference to Symbolic Interactionism and Social Constructivism. The Poster session shall outline how Symbolic Interactionism and Social Constructionism paradigms can help to understand epistemological processes by demonstrating how they relate to contemporary neuroscience and cognition research. Thus it shall try to explore how thinking and meaning making are working.
