AB - This exploratory paper aims the building of a pilot taxonomic table that can be used in the field of educational ergonomics. Based on activity theory and a situated approach, we first identified a pilot taxonomic table of ergonomic gestures performed on touchscreens surfaces, after an observation of N = 2 adult subjects. Secondly, to further validate the new tool, we conducted a case study with N = 24 adult subjects to analyze to what extent observed ergonomic gestures are constant across two types of touchscreens surfaces such as an interactive learning tabletop (ILT) and an electronic tablet, and across two different activities (learning activities and recreational activities). Results indicate that: the mean ranks of observed gestures (classified according to their duration) are significantly similar between participants; whereas there were some differences in terms of gestures (overall ranking of gestures) performed between ILT and tablet, but not between recreational or educational activities. More precisely, we found that: (i) the pilot taxonomic table can be used for further studies in the field of educational ergonomics and for its own further validation with larger sample sizes; (ii) no complex gesture were observed overall; (iii) single finger gestures were preferred during tablet activities, in contrast to many-finger gestures that were preferred during ILT activities.
