Animated movements, animating methods
This article uses a comparative case study to examine how a methodological approach called interaction geography provides alternative ways to animate space, movement, and affect within the context of early childhood education. We take animation to incorporate the methods for representing space, movement, and affect; the social-material environment which animates the people and things we study; and the lively, energetic talk-in-interaction that ta…
Visualization as theory and experience
Background A long-standing challenge in the learning sciences is how to visualize qualitative data, such as video and transcripts, in ways that illuminate the layered, relational, and dynamic nature of teaching and learning.Methods This methodological article integrates methods of interaction analysis (IA) with recent developments in interactive and alternative visualization to expand the kinds and qualities of representations used to conceptuali…
Exploring critical AI literacy in language education
The emergence of generative AI (genAI) tools has called into question traditional roles of language education professors. However, existing research has yet to comprehensively examine the opportunities and challenges these tools present in language education, particularly from the perspectives of language educators and learners. This article presents a case study, conducted in a university Intermediate Spanish class with 11 students in spring 202…
Situating Teacher Movement, Space, and Relationships to Pedagogy
In conversations about pedagogy, researchers often overlook how physical space and movement shape teacher sensemaking. This article offers a comparative case study of classroom videos using a dynamic visual method to map embodied interaction called “interaction geography.” Our analysis proposes an integrative framework to study classroom interactions and teacher movement over space and time comprised of four salient characteristics within lessons…
An exploration of robot programming as a foundation for spatial reasoning and computational thinking in preschoolers’ guided play
Classroom interaction geography
Methods to transcribe and represent classroom video data are central to studying teaching and learning in classrooms. However, current methods focus on encoding and representing data over time, not space. In this paper, we demonstrate the value of a new methodological approach called interaction geography to transcribe and interactively visualize classroom video data over space and time. We use interaction geography to illustrate classroom partic…
