Description
In our research project” In Search for Significance: Fostering Movement across the Worlds of Adolescents”, fourteen 8th grade students planned and implemented five different long-term projects they found significant in their own lives and more broadly in society. These projects were carried out in a Change Laboratory intervention (Virkkunen & Newnham, 2013; Sannino et al., 2016)during one school year (2020-2021). In this presentation, we analyze the paths of these Change Laboratory projects as stepwise processes of transformative agency by double stimulation (TADS). In our analysis we apply Sannino’s (2020) TADS model. Drawing on that model, we divide the process into six steps: (1) initial formulation of the raw object, (2) conflict of motives, (3) second stimulus;
throwing a kedge anchor, (4) finding traction, (5) ‘real conflict of motives’ or crossing the threshold to implementation, and (6) implementation as objectification and expansion. The data consist of 12 pre-interviews, eight Change Laboratory sessions, and 24 follow-up sessions, all recorded and
transcribed. Our findings show that the Change Laboratory intervention supported the move from individual mental future orientation to collective practical future-making. The TADS model offers a powerful framework to analyze, conceptualize and foster this shift form talk and thought to practical
action and material production of future.
