Mrs. Elaheh Rahimi contributes to early childhood education, philosophy of education, and cultural linguistics by advancing theoretical and methodological understandings of meaning-making in educational contexts. Across 9 peer reviewed documents with 246 citations and an h-index of 5, the work integrates dialogic theory, cultural semiotics, and philosophical inquiry to examine how objects, language, and culture mediate learning and identity. A key contribution is the development of dialogic and Cassirer informed frameworks that reconceptualise infants’ engagement with objects as culturally situated, dynamic, and symbolically rich practices. The research extends beyond early childhood education to address intercultural competence, discourse analysis, and emerging issues such as artificial intelligence and childhood. Published in international journals and disseminated through scholarly conferences, this body of work bridges theory and practice, offering conceptual tools that inform culturally responsive pedagogy, curriculum design, and education policy in diverse and global contexts.
