Topic: Gesturing gives children new ideas about math
Objective: to show how gesture can enhance math performance in children
Methodology: experimental research with three different conditions; gesture, no gesture,
and partial gesture
Findings: the gesturing condition showed higher math scores than the partially gesture - which
was higher than the no gesture condition, showing that the gesturing actually aided in the child
remembering the math task by using their body to perform it
Suggestions: the use of gesture in teaching math for children is a nee
The study aimed to examine how children can get new ideas when studying math by using
gestures. It is clear that children can improve their math performance when practicing with
gestures. According to experimental research, there are 3 different types: gesture, no gesture, and
partial gesture. They found out that children who actually use gesture totally while doing math,
seem to get higher math scores than the partially gesture. Children can also remember their math
task if they use their bodies to perform and if they use no gesturing, they definitely can not get
scores as high as those using. Therefore, aiding gesture in teaching math for children is very
necessary, aiding more gestures helps children easily to understand.
Findings: the gesturing condition showed higher math scores than the partially gesture - which
was higher than the no gesture condition, showing that the gesturing actually aided in the child
remembering the math task by using their body to perform it
Suggestions: the use of gesture in teaching math for children is a nee

Topic: Recovering emotionally from disasters and traumatic events
Objective: to explore current theories and practices on emotions and normal responses that
follow a disaster or other traumatic event
Methodology: Qualitative
Instruments: Quesionnaire and interviews
Findings: people frequently feel stunned, disoriented or unable to integrate distressing
information. Common responses can be intense or unpredictable feelings, sensitivity to
environmental factors, strained interpersonal relationships, and stress-related physical symptoms.
Suggestions: spend time on adjusting, ask for local support groups, share experience, establish
or reestablish routines, and seek for professional help

Topic: The practices and challenges of telecollaboration in higher education in Europe
Objectives: to explore current practices and attitudes towards telecollaboration across European
universities and to identify barriers that practitioners encounter
Methodology: Qualitative
Instrument: Questionnaire
Findings: positive attitude towards telecollaboration, some problems including organizational
difficulties, lack of time, limited technical support and great uncertainty regarding issues students
should address in their exchanges
Suggestions: some recommendations as to how to meet these challenges and how
telecollaboration practice could become mainstreamed in higher education
