A Case Study of “3D Dice” as a Possible Training for Perspective-Taking Skills: Perspective Taking, Frog Test, and Edugames – Possible Relationships

The aim of the following research is the validation of educational tools, called “3D Dice,” created to foster perspective taking skills in primary school children. Perspective taking can be considered a socio-cognitive capacity that enables people to see, imagine, perceive, or think what others see, imagine, perceive, or think. Before acquiring this capacity, children have an egocentric interpretation of the world, and only from the age of seven onwards do they begin to acquire cognitive decentralisation faculties that enable them to simultaneously consider and coordinate between alternative perspectives. This ability is not innate but can be trained through specific training. For this reason, in the Lab-H of the Department of Human, Philosophical, and Educational Sciences at the University of Salerno, “3D Dice” has been designed and physically produced using the Sharebot One 3D printer.
