This video study of a student pair learning in a Year 10 mathematics classroom in Helsinki includes video of the teacher, the student pair, and the gaze of one of the student pair. The purpose was to identify an interval in which their appeared to be productive interaction through study of body language (Williams, not a speaker of Finnish), and study this interval to see what could be identified about learning new to the student. It was found that student gaze helped pinpoint the type of thinking the student might be undertaken but that a post-lesson video stimulated interview would have provided additional information about this.
