Embodied, Enacted, and Multimodal: Exploring Science Teachers’ Metaphors in Authentic Classroom Contexts

Science Education, Volume 110, Issue 5, Page 1469-1496, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Over the past decades, science education research has extensively examined the role of metaphors in teaching and learning science. However, much of the existing research has focused on verbal manifestations of metaphors, thereby overlooking aspects of metaphors that may occur in non‐verbal form. This study reconceptualises metaphors as dynamic

Kinship‐based deference among Jaru siblings: A collaborative, adaptive, and multimodal accomplishment

Journal of Linguistic Anthropology, Volume 36, Issue 1, May 2026.
Abstract In the Jaru community of northern Western Australia, certain in‐laws and relatives are categorized as being in a highly respectful relationship in which they are expected to pay deference to one another. This conversation‐analytic study closely examines the deferential practices that are used among three Jaru siblings in an ordinary multi ...

The Influence of Distance and Lateral Offset of Follow Me Robots on User Perception

Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2020
Robots that are designed to work in close proximity to humans are required to move and act in a way that ensures social acceptance by their users. Hence, a robot's proximal behavior toward a human is a main concern, especially in human-robot interaction ...

Proxemic Mobile Collocated Interactions [PDF]

Proceedings of the 2016 CHI Conference Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2016
Recent research on mobile collocated interactions has been looking at situations in which collocated users engage in collaborative activities using their mobile devices. However, existing practices fail to fully account for the culturally-dependent spatial relationships between people and their digital devices (i.e.

Examining the Affordances of Engineering and Curricular Supports for Learning Among Emerging Bilingual Elementary Afterschool Students

Science Education, Volume 110, Issue 2, Page 357-378, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Engineering design provides students with unique opportunities to engage with disciplinary knowledge and practices by engaging with technologies and each other through the design process. In this paper, we identify how the co‐construction of an engineering afterschool club culture supported students’ engagement in epistemic practices of ...
