Abstract

Gesture's role as a powerful and versatile tool for instruction, especially in STEM domains, is well-established. However, many specific teaching moves accomplished through gesture remain understudied. Using interaction analysis, we examine how an introductory university physics instructor uses gesture during whole-class discussion of graphical representations of energy conservation to synthesize multiple student groups' solutions. This embodied, whole-class discussion orchestration move distills and summarizes the key points of the lesson while highlighting student contributions and addressing misunderstandings.
