| Popis: | This paper focuses on interpersonal dynamics between the child with disabilities and the adult monitoring his/her performance in Aesthetic Resonance Environments. Drawing upon a social constructivist approach, a framework for human interactivity was checked against empirical data obtained from the exploratory implementation of an environment intending to stimulate body awareness and enhance movement in a group of six children with severe neuromotor disabilities. Results showed that the adult assumed the role of a facilitator, mediating interactions between children and the technological system. The provided social mediation increased quality of movement and improved levels of engagement in the observed group of participants. |
