Cued gestures: Their role in collaborative discourse on seasons

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution

Abstract

Many studies of body-based digital learning environments focus on use with large groups or individuals. This study explores the use of a gesture based computer simulation with a small group. Using a case study approach, we found that middle school students used gestures cued by the simulation to engage in collaborative discourse about progressively more causal explanations of seasons. Additionally, we found that students appropriated some of the gestures as resources for individual explanations of seasons.
