q2 · i? · qualitative · r?

The introduction's summary of the Planey, Rajarathinam, Mercier, and Lindgren qualitative study of college students' gestures in a collaborative AR astronomy activity, conveyed across "a rich set of 12 vignettes showing students’ collaborative practice."

"Results from this study show that gesture was an important mediator of collaborative learning, particularly as learners employed gestures to further exploration, orientation, sharing AR perspectives, synthesizing AR and tablet perspectives, and sharing symbolic conception."
