We characterize it as a \u2018bridging concept\u2019 that can facilitate exchange between theory and design, informing research and design of TUIs for storytelling targeting young children. The concept builds on theories of cognition, learning and narration, specifically drawing upon the following perspectives: Constructionism, Socio-Constructivism, Embodied Cognition, Narratology and The Narrative Practice Hypothesis. Building upon these theoretical foundations, we identify and discuss four \u2018design articulations\u2019 (i.e. important parameters that express the qualities of the concept), namely communicative situation, narrative function of the tangible objects, collaborative and embodied actions and the narrator\u2019s position. Finally, we add evidence to the concept and discuss its productiveness by presenting a set of considerations to inform the design of tangible interfaces for storytelling.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/iwc\/iwac016","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,10]],"date-time":"2022-06-10T11:00:55Z","timestamp":1654858855000},"page":"627-640","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Narrating by Doing: A Bridging Concept for Understanding and Informing the Design of Tangible Interfaces for Storytelling"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Cristina","family":"Sylla","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Minho Research Centre on Child Studies, , Braga 4710-057, Portugal"},{"name":"Interactive Technologies Institute ITI , LARSyS, Instituto Superior T\u00e9cnico, University of Lisbon, 1049-001, Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Mait\u00ea","family":"Gil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Minho Research Centre on Child Studies, , Braga 4710-057, Portugal"}]},{"given":"\u00cdris Susana Pires","family":"Pereira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Minho Research Centre on Education (CIEd), Institute of Education, , Braga 4710-057, Portugal"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023020109491073400_ref1","first-page":"85","volume-title":"Constructivism: Uses and Perspectives in Education","author":"Ackermann","year":"2001"},{"key":"2023020109491073400_ref3","first-page":"595","volume-title":"CSCL \u201802: Proceedings of the Conference on Computer Support for Collaborative Learning: Foundations for a CSCL Community, International Society of the Learning Sciences","author":"Ananny","year":"2002"},{"key":"2023020109491073400_ref2","first-page":"195","author":"Antle","year":"2007"},{"key":"2023020109491073400_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1093\/iwc\/iws007","article-title":"Getting down to details: using theories of cognition and learning to inform tangible user interface design","volume":"25","author":"Antle","year":"2013","journal-title":"Interact.
