In our work, we will focus our attention on what we define as 'personal learning' process, trying to answer the following question: how do we build a coherent meaning from our experience? Through the studies of Francisco Varela on the fundamental role played by the sensory-motor coordination in cognition, we propose a model called the ‘Magic Eight’, which we use to show recurring patterns in the learning process of the person, focusing on interdependent relationships among perception, emotion and action, which define a self-organizing system that allows the emergence of coherent meanings for the person. These relationships are based on the activity of the entire body, allowing the emergence of both the ‘inner’ world of the person and what she considers her ‘outer’ world, in a process of generating interrelated and consistent meanings.

Abstract
In our work, we will focus our attention on what we define as 'personal learning' process, trying to answer the following question: how do we build a coherent meaning from our experience? Through the studies of Francisco Varela on the fundamental role played by the sensory-motor coordination in cognition, we propose a model called the ‘Magic Eight’, which we use to show recurring patterns in the learning process of the person, focusing on interdependent relationships among perception, emotion and action, which define a self-organizing system that allows the emergence of coherent meanings for the person. These relationships are based on the activity of the entire body, allowing the emergence of both the ‘inner’ world of the person and what she considers her ‘outer’ world, in a process of generating interrelated and consistent meanings.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
