Instructors who adopted an interpretive stance responded by providing examples or asking guiding questions informed by the student’s thinking.

The research involved a pretest—delayed-posttest design with random assignment of 14 preschoolers to two conditions.

We document the novel kinds of embodied interactions that the AR environment affords, relating to (1) perspective and orientation, (2) scale, (3) three dimensions.
