Méditation

Résumé

Le terme méditation désigne une pratique mentale qui consiste généralement en une attention portée sur un certain objet, au niveau de la pensée, des émotions, du corps. Par exemple méditer un principe philosophique, dans le but d'en approfondir le sens. Dans une approche spirituelle, elle peut être un exercice, voire une voie de réalisation du Soi et d'éveil. La méditation est au cœur de nombreuses pratiques spirituelles ou religieuses comme celles du bouddhisme, de l'hindouisme, du jaïnisme, du sikhisme, du taoïsme, du yoga, ainsi que d'autres formes plus récentes de spiritualité, ou encore de mouvements qualifiés parfois de sectaires comme la méditation transcendantale. Cette pratique peut chercher à produire une paix intérieure, la vacuité de l'esprit, des états de conscience modifiés, l'apaisement progressif du mental ou encore une simple relaxation. Certaines techniques de méditation, telles que la pleine conscience, peuvent être utilisées dans un cadre thérapeutique ou laïc.

Fiction is one of the laboratories that architecture uses for its tests. This should not come as a surprise, since architecture has always been a "science of fiction". The studio holds by elii [architecture office] will work in Madrid on housing, domesticity and fiction.

This course focuses on goal-directed design and interaction design, two subjects treated in depth in the Cooper book (see reference below). To practice these two methods, we propose a design challenge, which is further divided into mini-projects evenly spaced throughout the semester.

Ming Shan Digital Experience

Margaux Charvolin, Cédric Duchene, Emily Clare Groves, Nicolas Henchoz, Delphine Ribes Lemay, Andreas Sonderegger

The Ming Shan Digital Experience is an immersive installation designed to support meditation in the context of a new Taoist center. Its creation confronted current academic literature on digital technology for meditation with the practical and cultural requirements of Taoist practice. Quantitative and qualitative learnings show the effectiveness of multimodal biofeedback on individual and collective meditative experience. Now instated in the Taoist center, the installation opens new perspectives for combining digital technology with ancient practice.

Investigating the Role of Educational Robotics in Formal Mathematics Education: The Case of Geometry for 15-Year-Old Students

Jérôme Guillaume Brender, Barbara Bruno, Francesco Mondada

Research has shown that Educational Robotics (ER) enhances student performance, interest, engagement and collaboration. However, until now, the adoption of robotics in formal education has remained relatively scarce. Among other causes, this is due to the difficulty of determining the alignment of educational robotic learning activities with the learning outcomes envisioned by the curriculum, as well as their integration with traditional, non-robotics learning activities that are well established in teachers’ practices. This work investigates the integration of ER into formal mathematics education, through a quasi-experimental study employing the Thymio robot and Scratch programming to teach geometry to two classes of 15-year-old students, for a total of 26 participants. Three research questions were addressed: (1) Should an ER-based theoretical lecture precede, succeed or replace a traditional theoretical lecture? (2) What is the students’ perception of and engagement in the ER-based lecture and exercises? (3) Do the findings differ according to students’ prior appreciation of mathematics? The results suggest that ER activities are as valid as traditional ones in helping students grasp the relevant theoretical concepts. Robotics activities seem particularly beneficial during exercise sessions: students freely chose to do exercises that included the robot, rated them as significantly more interesting and useful than their traditional counterparts, and expressed their interest in introducing ER in other mathematics lectures. Finally, results were generally consistent between the students that like and did not like mathematics, suggesting the use of robotics as a means to broaden the number of students engaged in the discipline.
