Transcription in Phenomenological Analysis: A Look at Work with Dynamic Geometry

Abstract

This article focuses on the description of experiences with significant research subjects, under a phenomenological perspective, for which, through transcription, the lived experience described and exposed in text, signals the starting point for the analysis. The intention is a transcription that can give those who turn to it an environment that allows them to feel, glimpse and understand the ways in which an experience was given and constituted in knowledge. We understand that this setting is possible when we highlight in the transcription the modes of expression that show themselves and advance in the field of research. In researches in which its subjects work with software and learning co-subjects, speech, gestures and images of movements performed that materialize in computational interfaces are modes of language relevant to the transcription that we discuss here. In this study we evidence a way of transcribing that emerges from a work focused on the experiences lived by subjects who develop activities in Dynamic Geometry environments. With this paper and the transcription here exposed, we aim to contribute to and with research seeking understandings by analyzing experiences lived, especially those standing in technological environments.
