Authors' interpretation (type e) drawn from the think-aloud corpus, applying Csikszentmihalyi and Hermanson's view of learning as self-expansion. The article states "It is in these shifts that we can locate moments of learning," describing self-development through perspectives that are "abstract and fleeting."

"It is in these shifts that we can locate moments of learning in Csikszentmihalyi and Hermanson’s (1995) terms: developing and expanding the self, exploring uncertainties and new possibilities through selves that may be abstract and fleeting."

Related Claims¶

• Imagining (imagined past self) may give learners a greater feeling of entry into a historical situation than hypothesizing
• The now-self functions as an anchor in HPT: participants began in now-self and frequently returned to it
• Educators' understanding of UDL shifted from a static framework to a dynamic way of thinking emphasizing moment-to-moment responsiveness to students' access needs — related
• All four participants used all four self perspectives, with rapid shifts among them during HPT — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• HPT is not a simple shedding of presentist perspectives: multiple selves of one learner intertwine with the target's perspective — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
