Re: [xmca] Analyses of gesture & speech

You may find my review useful for seeing what has been published in
the different disciplines referred to on the list:
Roth, W.-M. (2002). Gestures: Their role in teaching and learning.
Review of Educational Research, 71, 365–392.

also, in
Roth, W.-M., & Lee, Y. J. (2004). Interpreting unfamiliar graphs: A
generative, activity-theoretic model. Educational Studies in
Mathematics, 57, 265–290.

we cover mathematical cognition, gestures, and CHAT.
Hope this helps,
Michael

Dear All,

I was hoping you could point me to resources that critique discourse
analysis as an overly linguistic approach to interaction and meaning
making...my request is based on a desire to ground analysis of video
data of
children using manipulatives (both physical and graphically-based) in
collaborative efforts...what I want to capture is not only the speech
but
also gesture of primary students as they try to make sense of basic
geometric concepts and principles using manipulatives (tangrams,
pentominoes, geoboards, etc)...I’m searching for both philosophical
(Vygotsky, Dewey, Pierce, Mead) and methodological references that
emphasize
the need to examine gesture and speech simultaneously...

As for the latter, I’ve recently been working with David McNeill and his
group at the U. of Chicago (http://mcneilllab.uchicago.edu/), but was
hoping
I could get more leads from the group...

Thanks!
Michael~
