Unpacking the Gestures of Chemistry Learners
In this study, adults, who were naïve to organic chemistry, drew stereoisomers of molecules and explained their drawings. From these explanations, we identified nine strategies that participants expressed during those explanations. Five of the nine strategies referred to properties of the molecule that were explanatorily irrelevant to solving the problem; the remaining four referred to properties that were explanatorily relevant to the solution. …
The effect of gestured instruction on the learning of physical causality problems
Recent research has demonstrated instruction that includes gesture can greatly impact the learning of certain mathematics tasks for children and much of this work relies on face-to-face instruction. We extend the work on this problem by asking how gesture in instruction impacts adult learning from a video production for a science concept. Borrowing from research by Perry and Elder (1997), the research presented here examines what role adding gest…
Students learn more when their teacher has learned to gesture effectively
Teachers’ gestures are an integral part of their instructional communication. In this study, we provided a teacher with a tutorial about ways to use gesture in connecting ideas in mathematics instruction, and we asked the teacher to teach sample lessons about slope and intercept before and after this tutorial. In response to the tutorial, the teacher enhanced his communication about links between ideas by increasing the frequency with which he ex…
It’s Not Just about Drawing and Language … It’s Really about Reconceptualizing the Roles of Nature and Nurture
‘Explaining ‘‘I can’t draw’’ ’ by Neil Cohn [this issue] presents a very interesting review and theoretical perspective on the ‘drop-off ’ in drawing ability that occurs at puberty. The title ‘I can’t draw’ immediately resonated with me because I really can’t draw. My mother, on the other hand, was an artist – she really could draw. She could draw pictures that accurately represented the images that she intended to represent. My drawings are thos…
So Could We Have a ‘Planet of the Apes?’
The role of gesture in memory and social communication
This study asked whether: (1) adults process representational gesture and (2) gesture is remembered over time. Forty-five college students (ages 22–38) were each randomly assigned to watch a set of Speech Only and Speech + Gesture video stimuli (containing statements that were extracted from social conversation) either in an immediate or delayed condition. After watching the videotape, participants were asked to write recollections of the video s…
The Role of Gesture in Bilingual Education
Studies investigating the role gesture plays in communication claim gesture has a minimal role, while others claim that gesture carries a large communicative load. In these studies, however, the role of gesture has been assessed in a context where speech is understood and could easily carry the entire communicative burden. We examine the role of gesture when speech is inaccessible to the listener. We investigated a population of children who, by …
The mismatch between gesture and speech as an index of transitional knowledge
