The aim of this paper is to provide a tentativetheoretical framework for characterizing intuitions in a semiotic perspective. Starting from Fischbein’s definition of intuitions as a self-evident and immediate form of cognition, we study them addressing Duval’s structural and functional approach, and Radford’s cultural-semiotic perspective. We single out some semiotic behaviours that account for the immediacy and self-evidence of intuitive thinking. We discuss examples taken from an experimentation conducted with primary school students working on fractions.

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to provide a tentativetheoretical framework for characterizing intuitions in a semiotic perspective. Starting from Fischbein’s definition of intuitions as a self-evident and immediate form of cognition, we study them addressing Duval’s structural and functional approach, and Radford’s cultural-semiotic perspective. We single out some semiotic behaviours that account for the immediacy and self-evidence of intuitive thinking. We discuss examples taken from an experimentation conducted with primary school students working on fractions.File in questo prodotto:
