Behavior patterns of 15-year-old students in a Digital Storytelling in Mathematics. A social network analysis

Abstract

This paper presents the preliminary considerations of the application of a software to an experimental work conducted on Digital Storytelling in Mathematics, as part of the project Prin 2015 "Digital Interactive Storytelling in Mathematics: a competence-based social approach". An activity designed for promoting critical mathematical thinking among the students that foresees them to participate as active protagonists and as observers of the protagonists during the problem-solving activity, will be illustrated and then the outcomes will be examined from a numerical analysis point of view. In particular, the interactions between the participants will be investigated by using a Matlab software for solving the seriation problem.
