Mente, intersoggettività, apprendimento nella pratica educativa.

In this paper it is highlighted the role of mediational tools in educational practice in order to unravel the relationship between mind and culture. In our perspective, human cognition is based on networks of “mental models” and learning consists in a process of connection and reorganization of mental models into a more complex structure. Educational activities are socially situated processes in which participants attempt to create specific “zones of intersubjectivity” that offer individuals the opportunity to come in contact with some symbolic models that support learning.
