Subclaims¶

q2 i? Across 108 episodes of collaborative VR geometry work, actions on virtual objects and collaborative talk moves were intertwined, occurring simultaneously or sequentially. → Wen Huang 2023 q2 i? Gesture codes representational/iconic and beat had high concurrent times with speech codes representing and negotiating; pointing also co-occurred with establishing shared understanding and planning. → Wen Huang 2023

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2

Multimodal analysis of 108 episodes of video from three groups of in-service teachers in a shared VR environment produced 1818 simultaneous relationships and 1723 sequential relationships between labeled action instances. The matrices showed the "intertwined relationship between perform- ing actions on virtual objects and engaging in collaborative talk moves."

"highlight the intertwined relationship between perform- ing actions on virtual objects and engaging in collaborative talk moves, with these two modalities occurring simultaneously or sequentially"
