Previous research in the field of arts and crafts education on aesthetic\nexperience, embodied cognition and making has highlighted the role of touch in\ninteractions with materials as the driving force behind children\u2019s\nself-motivated actions to search for problems and find solutions. Today,\nlearning environments on large-scale changes from material to virtual, which\nbrings new challenges and opportunities for tactile cognition. Touch and\nemotions are essential for children\u2019s sense-making of the world, despite this\nit has been largely neglected in cognitive science.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This article\npresents and discusses a group of young children\u2019s sense-making in explorative\ntouch interactions with technologies, materials and materiality in\ntransmaterial landscapes. The children\u2019s touch interactions was explored\ntogether with their kindergarten teacher and me, where I (author) took a\nposition as an A\/R\/T-ographer (artist, researcher and teacher). The main\nmethods for data generation was case study and explorative inquiry, drawing on\narts-based research methodology, while the main approach for generating data\ninvolved observations, data notes, stills and video documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The study identifies how important it is to put touch on the agenda of learning in both the material and virtual environment and perhaps most of all not to split the material from the virtual, but explore how the transmaterial environment, can offer new potentials and make sense for children in their explorative touch interactions. The study also indicates that touch involves more that we usually put in our everyday language connected to learning, and that we must extend our understanding of touch. Touchy stuff can be more than tangible materials and tools and mediators can transform and shape what children can explore and experience. The viewpoint from arts education emphasizes the experimental and the unforeseen aspect in children\u2019s explorative touch interaction and sense-making, thereby supplementing studies performed in e.g. human-computer interaction.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">N\u00f8kkelord: Sense-making, touch interaction, emotions, experimental, transmaterial environment, embodied cognition.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Av: Lovise S\u00f8yland Konferansebidrag i Nettverkskonferansen -Kunst og h\u00e5ndverk 2019, arrangert p\u00e5 Universitetet i S\u00f8r\u00f8st-Norge, campus Notodden.
