In a synchronous online education setting, the study investigated whether students\u2019 learning experience is facilitated by observing the instructor\u2019s hand while examples are demonstrated. Students of two courses in fundamental accounting observed four demonstrations where the conditions <em>instructor\u2019s hand visible\/not visible<\/em> were alternated using a document camera (hand visible) and a writing pad (hand not visible). The study also explored the reasons for students\u2019 preferences for demonstrations with or without visible hands. In terms of theory, the study contributes to previous research on cognitive load theory and social agency theory. Providing helpful directions for instructional design, the findings indicate that observing the instructor\u2019s hand facilitates students\u2019 learning experience to a considerably higher degree than not observing the instructor\u2019s hand. Preferences for demonstrations with visible hands primarily relate to embodied cognition effects that are generated when observing and imitating human movement due to the mirror neuron system. Other explanations relate to social cue advantages \u2013 observing the instructor\u2019s hand induces a feeling of connectedness, which in turn enhances cognitive engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> accounting education; remote teaching; mirror neurons; cognitive load theory; connectedness; social agency theory<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>F\u00f6rfattare: Katharina RahnertInstitution\/enhet: Handelsh\u00f6gskolan\u00c4mne: F\u00f6retagsekonomi This study sheds light on the challenges of communicating knowledge in remote accounting education that would normally be demonstrated on a blackboard or whiteboard.
