Anna Ekström; Asta Cekaite – European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, 2024
This study explores children's peer touch in a Swedish preschool using video observations. Two main aspects of children's touch in focus: (1) to what extent do children use touch within the peer group and with whom and (2) in what ways do children touch each other (i.e. what touch forms are used and what areas of other children's bodies are…

Aineias Martos; Georgios Kouroupetroglou; Vassilios Argyropoulos; Konstantinos Papadopoulos – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
The scope of this paper is to examine the potential capabilities of embossed printers under the lens of Information Technology (IT). One of the main principles of IT is to manage and deliver information into accessible formats to all users with and without disabilities. The present study investigates the discriminability of lines and squares by…

Lorenza Mondada; Burak S. Tekin; David Monteiro – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2024
Hugs are a pervasive practice characterizing human sociality. They involve the persons engaged in hugging as well as other persons who might witness it for various purposes. This article examines the social organization of hugging in family photography sessions. This organization integrates instructions to hug, orchestrated by photographers and…

Matzke, Sarah – Research in Dance Education, 2023
This research investigates how the kinesthetic body forms knowledge of an environment and how that knowledge transforms with the involvement of participants. A Practice as Research (PAR) methodology employs the body as primary agent in cognition. Choreographic and improvisational movement devices assist the task of tracing cognition in…

Morena, Matthew A.; Smith, Michael D. – PRIMUS, 2023
The Euclidean Discus Toss is an active and tactile learning activity that models the extended Euclidean algorithm with a frisbee relay. The extended Euclidean algorithm involves both iterative and recursive programming and is regularly taught throughout the mathematics and computer science curricula. The Euclidean Discus Toss invites students to…

Galigani, Mattia; Fossataro, Carlotta; Gindri, Patrizia; Conson, Massimiliano; Garbarini, Francesca – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Individuals with autism spectrum conditions (ASC) are less susceptible to multisensory delusions, such as rubber hand illusion (RHI). Here, we investigate whether a monochannel variant of RHI is more effective in inducing an illusory feeling of ownership in ASC. To this aim, we exploit a non-visual variant of the RHI that, excluding vision,…

Todd, Sharon – Studies in Philosophy and Education, 2021
This paper explores how touch is key to understanding education--not as an achievement or an instrument of acquisition, but as a process through which one becomes a subject capable of both living and leading a life that matters for ourselves and others. As a process, it is concerned with how we encounter things and others in the world and not…

Zakraoui, Jezia; Saleh, Moutaz; Al-Maadeed, Somaya; AlJa'am, Jihad Mohamad – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Emotion and focus of children during handwriting are essential for language learning. Handwriting for young children is challenging because it needs deep motivation and willingness to complete the task regardless of its difficulty. Recently, emerged haptic guidance systems have a good potential to offer children a better sense of engagement to…

Espenhahn, Svenja; Godfrey, Kate J.; Kaur, Sakshi; McMorris, Carly; Murias, Kara; Tommerdahl, Mark; Bray, Signe; Harris, Ashley D. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
We assessed different aspects of tactile perception in young children (3-6 years) with autism. Autistic and neurotypical children completed vibrotactile tasks assessing reaction time, amplitude discrimination (sequential and simultaneous) and temporal discrimination (temporal order judgment and duration discrimination). Autistic children had…

Adam Graves; Sara Kitchen – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2024
Introduction: Recent trends in training teachers of students who are blind or have low vision (i.e., those who are visually impaired) have shifted away from traditional hand-over-hand guidance and toward a hand-under-hand approach. However, a search for peer-reviewed studies that address the effects of the use of hand-under-hand versus…

Yvoni Pavlou; Zacharias C. Zacharia; Marios Papaevripidou – Science Education, 2024
This study aimed to investigate whether the presence (when using physical manipulatives [PMs]) or absence (when using virtual manipulatives [VMs]) of haptic sensory feedback (i.e., open-ended haptic manipulation of physical materials with the use of the hands) during experimentation can impact preschoolers' conceptual understanding of concepts…

Binbin Qi; Muhua Zhang; Xuefang Zhu; Yanshuang Jiang; Xin Xiang – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
Museum learning is beneficial for social inclusion, deepening partnerships between schools and museums, and increasing levels of pupil attainment. While there have been numerous empirical studies on the use of haptics in formal educational settings, few have explored the effect of haptic interaction on learning outcomes in museum learning. This…

Murphy, Kristen L. – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Spatial reasoning is required for many topics in undergraduate mathematics as well as other STEM fields. In calculus specifically, there are few interventions that assess students' spatial skills and provide remediation. Haptic technology is a novel approach to spatial skills remediation due to its unfamiliarity to students and its flexibility…

Abel, Roman – Cognitive Science, 2023
Research on sequence effects on learning "visual" categories has shown that interleaving (i.e., studying the categories in a mixed manner) facilitates category induction as compared to blocking (i.e., studying the categories one by one), but learners are unaware of the interleaving effect and prefer blocking. However, little attention…

Kanako Fukuda; Tsuyoshi Sashima – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2024
Introduction: There are major differences when children with blindness perform construction tasks using haptics, without relying on sight, compared to when children with typical vision perform them through sight. When using sight, in all of the processes, the overall image can be grasped simultaneously while executing the task. When using haptics,…
