Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Four intertwined multimodal knowledge practices were identified: orientation to knowledge, interpreting knowledge, concretizing knowledge and expanding knowledge, each with typical embodied actions, positioning, talk and tool use. → Ulrike Cress 2020

q2 · i? · review · r1
The editorial reports, citing the Kajamaa and Kumpulainen sociocultural discourse analysis of video records from two gender-homogeneous groups of students aged 9 to 12, that each practice includes "special forms of embodied actions, typical positioning in the physical space, special forms of talk". The editorial attributes this to the study.
"The authors identified four intertwined multimodal knowledge practices: Orientation to knowledge, interpreting knowledge, concretizing knowledge and expanding knowledge."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Cumulative, disputational, and exploratory talk types together mediated students' enactment of makerspace knowledge practices — related
- Students' makerspace knowledge practices are mediated multimodally by discourse, materials, embodied actions, and physical space — a broader claim this one bears on
- Knowledge-building practices are defined at the community unit of analysis but enacted at the small-group discursive unit — related
- An adjacent corridor served as an improvised spatial expansion of the makerspace mediating students' knowledge practices — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- Collaborative speech strongly co-occurs with actions on virtual objects and virtual hand gestures in shared VR geometry tasks — related
