Webinar information
With gaze data analyses becoming more prominent as a research method in general, the number of studies using eye tracking methodology is also increasing in Physics Education Research (PER). In this presentation, Dr. Pascal Klein and Larissa Hahn, provide a taxonomy to classify how and for which aim eye tracking has been used in PER so far. They demonstrate their research agenda on complex representations and show how their own research interest has evolved based on their eye tracking studies.
