q2 i? Teacher gestures (hands and arms rotating, moving back and forth, pointing at the screen) supplement verbal instruction to help students judge distance and depth that the 2D screen curtails. → Giulia Messina Dahlberg · Susanne Gustavsson 2025

Evidence¶

Giulia Messina Dahlberg · Susanne Gustavsson. (2025). Keeping worlds apart to put them back together: VET teachers' instructional patterns in simulation-based training. Instructional Science. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11251-025-09714-x

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2

From the analysis of Excerpt 2, seven interactional sequences of a teacher supervising a student lifting a log in the simulator. The authors report that "the teacher's gestures are attempts to recreate the three-dimensional space represented two-dimensionally on the screen".

"the teacher's gestures are attempts to recreate the three-dimensional space represented two-dimensionally on the screen by mimicking the movements of the crane and the grapple"
