手势在儿童学习中的作用研究进展

On the Latest Development of Studying the Effect of Gestures on Children's Learning

手势和学习存在着复杂的关系,学者主要采用数学等式、对称平衡任务、守恒任务研究教师手势和儿童手势对学习的影响。总结其行为科学方面的研究成果:手势外显个体内隐知识准备状态;使用手势的儿童容易接受教育;手势减轻认知负担,节省认知资源;手势有助于问题表征;教师的手势有利于儿童学习。

There exists a complex relationship between gesture and learning and scholars mainly use mathematical equation,symmetrical balance task,the task of conservation to research the effect of teachers＇ gesture and children＇s gesture on children＇s learning. This article summarized the results in behavioral science as follows：gesture reveals the individual＇s implicit knowledge so that the instructors could find out the level of children＇s readiness for the task; children using gestures could learn more easily; gestures can relieve one＇s cognitive burden and save the cognitive resources; gestures could facilitate the presentation of questions： the teaches＇ gesture is helpful to students＇ learning.
