More Than Words: The Generative Power of Transmediation for Learning.
Siegel, Marjorie
Canadian Journal of Education, v20 n4 p455-75 Fall 1995
Instructional strategies requiring transmediation, the process of translating meaning from one sign system (such as language) to another (such as pictures), are critical to enquiry-oriented classrooms because learners must invent a connection between the systems. This article, drawing on semiotic theory, explores how transmediation achieves its generative potential. (SLD)
