Instructions
For each item below, insert a single clear, precise, concise, coherent, and cohesive mini-essay (suggested
approximate length: 250 words) that addresses the questions corresponding to that component of the
Pearlman-Carillo framework. These questions should be applied to the Falk article, the second article you
chose, and the point you intend to argue. Still, your mini-essays must be one coherent and cohesive whole,
so you cannot simply address each of these separately. Furthermore, the requirement for coherence and
cohesion means you cannot simply list questions and answers. See page 1 for more details.
 
1 Analyze
Ultimately, Falk's goal was to examine the truth that there are infinite ways to interpret and understand reality. Anna Sfard reiterates that the researchers should be aware that human understanding is subject to variable interpretations. By asking the same questions differently, acquired answers can simulate a single model by which knowledge can be extracted. 
Falk herself declared that her goal was to study a certain state of the interviewees as they are interrogated. Her methodology centered around gathering different descriptions from the students about their "conceptions of reality". The methodology consisted of several different infinity-related tasks and recording the subjects' opinions and ideas. Other features. These data would then be interpreted as indicative, but not definitive, of an individual's infinity conception. 
Anna Sfard highlights the concept of discourse and how the pattern of speech, choice of words, tone, etc., can become the object of conscious exploration. Understanding shifts from detached utterances of the subjects to a holistic perspective of the interaction where the utterances were created. She features the importance of seeing the bigger picture by expanding awareness of meaning from the interactive discourse. Her commentary puts importance to the concepts in Falk's choice of topic, hence the title: A companion to Falk. There is a need to expand conscious understanding so that the subtleties hidden in discourse can be taken into account and analyzed.  
2 Question
How does Falk want to get an understanding of "Conception of Infinity"? How do you conceptualize, in words, the endless, how do you limit the limitless, How do you count the number, how do you put a focus on the endless flow of infinity? There is a need to change the syntax, and mode of analysis, if one is to make an explicit interpretation of Falk's research. Falk's keywords have its implication that points to a particular unit of analysis. This mode needs to comply with some special requirements so that it can be operationalized.
Sfard concurs that Understanding the research entails having the support of other concepts and theories.
The emphasis of Discussion and dialogue put the focus on the dynamic flow of conversation. By taking into acco...
