Lora Randa; Song Wang; Zoe Poolos; Vanna Figueroa; Anna Bridgeman; Thomas Bussey; Rou-Jia Sung – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2024
Interpreting three-dimensional models of biological macromolecules is a key skill in biochemistry, closely tied to students' visuospatial abilities. As students interact with these models and explain biochemical concepts, they often use gesture to complement verbal descriptions. Here, we utilize an embodied cognition-based approach to characterize…
