TLDR
In this paper, the authors describe an emerging paradigm of educational research that pairs theories of embodied learning with a class of immersive technologies referred to as mixed reality (MR), where, for example, students can use their bodies to simulate an orbit around a virtual planet.Abstract:
The authors describe an emerging paradigm of educational research that pairs theories of embodied learning with a class of immersive technologies referred to as mixed reality (MR). MR environments merge the digital with the physical, where, for example, students can use their bodies to simulate an orbit around a virtual planet. Recent research supports the idea that body activity can be an important catalyst for generating learning, and new technologies are being developed that use natural human physicality and gesture as input. However, existing research on embodied learning technologies has been disparate, driven largely by specific technical innovations and constraints, and often lacking a clear focus on establishing their efficacy in educational contexts. On the basis of the unique characteristics of these technologies and on their own experiences conducting research in this area, the authors put forth six precepts for embodied learning technology researchers that pertain to the rationale, design, and...read more

Introduction to the special issue “embodied cognition and education”
Evi Agostini,Denis Francesconi +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a special issue focused on the theoretical, empirical and practical integrations between embodied cognition theory (EC) and educational science is presented, with a focus on the role of the body and embodied experience in learning.

Young children’s embodied interactions with a social robot
Yanghee Kim,Michael Tscholl +1 more
TL;DR: The affordances of an embodied humanoid robot to engage children in play and learning from the perspective of embodied cognition in two studies as part of multi-year design research was examined in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Encapsulating teacher expertise in action
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarize teacher expertise in action in the second decade of this century may seem at best misguided, given current extensive expectations of how teachers should excel, and at worst misguided.

Teaching About Teaching Using Technology: Using Embodiment to Interpret Online Pedagogies of Teacher Education
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use theories of embodiment to highlight how teaching using digital technologies poses significant challenges to the ways in which our pedagogies of teacher education are enacted, focusing upon their experiences of the ways that relationships are formed and emotions communicated when digital technologies provide the main context for teaching and learning.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Dynamic interactive number lines for fraction learning in a mixed reality environment
TL;DR: This paper proposes a new framework for learning about fractions through the use of dynamic interactive and tangible number lines and presents a mixed reality environment offering a creative canvas for exercising knowledge about fractions together with a tangible and easily configurable interactive number.

Metaphors We Live by
TL;DR: Lakoff and Johnson as discussed by the authors present a very attractive book for linguists to read, which is written in a direct and accessible style; while it introduces and uses a number of new terms, for the most part it is free of jargon.
Journal Article
A Taxonomy of Mixed Reality Visual Displays
Paul Milgram,Fumio Kishino +1 more
TL;DR: Paul Milgram's research interests include display and control issues in telerobotics and virtual environments, stereoscopic video and computer graphics, cognitive engineering, and human factors issues in medicine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Six views of embodied cognition.
TL;DR: The sixth claim has received the least attention in the literature on embodied cognition, but it may in fact be the best documented and most powerful of the six claims.
Book
How the body shapes the mind
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the origins of the notion of EMBODIMENT and explore the connections between physics, philosophy, and pathology, focusing on pseudoscience.
