Abstract

Abstract A variety of semiotic resources makes the construction of scientific knowledge possible and meaning-making resources are conveyed by certain semiotic modes. Next, numerous studies have demonstrated the pedagogical importance of gestures in the demonstration of scientific knowledge in the classroom. Drawing on social semiotic systemic functional theory and legitimation code theory, this study explores the types and the role of gestures in the semiotic construction of scientific knowledge in pedagogic semiosis and their pedagogical values for the meaning-making of science content. With this aim, a gesture observation protocol (GOP) is developed to annotate and analyze data. Two science lectures, which are broadcast remotely for middle school students including gifted students, are observed. Systemic Functional Multimodal Discourse Analysis (SF-MDA) method is employed to analyze and evaluate data. Results demonstrated that the deployment of gestures that contributes to the construction of scientific knowledge is low and deployed gestures mostly do not have pedagogical value. It is recommended that teachers should be more conscious and educated about deploying gestures to present scientific knowledge efficiently.

手势在科学知识符号学建构中的运用:教学符号学的系统功能方法

科学知识的建构离不开丰富的符号学资源，具有意义的符号学资源通过一定的符号学模式进行传递。其次，许多研究已经证明了手势在课堂上展示科学知识的教学重要性。本研究运用社会符号学系统功能理论和正当化符码理论，探讨了手势在教学符号学中科学知识符号学建构中的类型和作用，以及手势在科学内容意义建构中的教学价值。为此，开发了一种手势观察协议(GOP)来注释和分析数据。对包括资优学生在内的中学生进行远程广播的两场科学讲座进行了观察。采用系统功能多模态语篇分析(SF-MDA)方法对数据进行分析和评价。结果表明，手势对科学知识建构的贡献较低，且大多不具有教学价值。建议教师应该更加有意识地使用手势来有效地呈现科学知识。

期刊介绍： Semiotica, the Journal of the International Association for Semiotic Studies, founded in 1969, appears in five volumes of four issues per year, in two languages (English and French), and occasionally in German. Semiotica features articles reporting results of research in all branches of semiotic studies, in-depth reviews of selected current literature in this field, and occasional guest editorials and reports. From time to time, Special Issues, devoted to topics of particular interest, are assembled by Guest Editors. The publishers of Semiotica offer an annual prize, the Mouton d"Or, to the author of the best article each year. The article is selected by an independent international jury.
