Ling Zhang; Naiqing Song; Guowei Wu; Jinfa Cai – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2025
This study concerns the cognitive process of mathematical problem posing, conceptualized in three stages: understanding the task, constructing the problem, and expressing the problem. We used the eye tracker and think-aloud methods to deeply explore students' behavior in these three stages of problem posing, especially focusing on investigating…

Tugba Uygun; Pinar Guner; Irfan Simsek – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
This study was conducted to reveal potential sources of students' difficulty and misconceptions about geometrical concepts with the help of eye tracking. In this study, the students' geometrical misconceptions were explored by answering the questions on the geometry test prepared based on the literature and test-taking processes and represented…

Wu, Chao-Jung; Liu, Chia-Yu – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2022
Our objective in this study was to investigate how the eye-movement behavior and concurrent verbal protocols of students with high-/low-prior-knowledge were reflected in the use of multiple representations for scientific argumentation. We also examined the degree of consistency between eye-fixation data and verbalization to ascertain how and when…

Tawfik, Andrew A.; Gatewood, Jessica; Gish-Lieberman, Jaclyn J.; Hampton, Andrew J. – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2022
Various theories and models have implicitly discussed the role of interaction when using learning technologies. Indeed, interaction is described as being important as it relates to technology adoption, cognitive load, and usability. While each of these perspectives describe elements of interaction, they fail to comprehensively detail how educators…

Kim, Seong Un; Yang, Il Ho – Education Sciences, 2020
The purpose of this study is to develop a thinking process model that reveals cognitive bias through analyzing students' cognitive biases in processing experimental manuals. Twenty-two college students participated in the study. During the "making electromagnets" experimental activity, we collected students' concurrent verbal protocols,…

Dirkx, K. J. H.; Skuballa, I.; Manastirean-Zijlstra, C. S.; Jarodzka, H. – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2021
The use of computer-based tests (CBTs), for both formative and summative purposes, has greatly increased over the past years. One major advantage of CBTs is the easy integration of multimedia. It is unclear, though, how to design such CBT environments with multimedia. The purpose of the current study was to examine whether guidelines for designing…

Salmerón, L.; Naumann, J.; García, V.; Fajardo, I. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2017
When students solve problems on the Internet, they have to find a balance between quickly scanning large sections of information in web pages and deeply processing those that are relevant for the task. We studied how high school students articulate scanning and deeper processing of information while answering questions using a Wikipedia document,…

Lehane, Paula; Scully, Darina; O'Leary, Michael – Irish Educational Studies, 2022
In line with the widespread proliferation of digital technology in everyday life, many countries are now beginning to use computer-based exams (CBEs) in their post-primary education systems. To ensure that these CBEs are delivered in a manner that preserves their fairness, validity, utility and credibility, several factors pertaining to their…

Wang, Ting; Liaw, Yuan-Ling; Li, Min; Feng, Gary – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
Sequence of contextual information refers to the order of descriptions involved in the context component of items, such as sequence of events, sequence of intention and action, and sequence of effect and cause. To build on prior findings on how different sequences of contextual information could influence student test scores, we used eye tracking…

Ögren, Magnus; Nyström, Marcus; Jarodzka, Halszka – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2017
Textbooks in applied mathematics often use graphs to explain the meaning of formulae, even though their benefit is still not fully explored. To test processes underlying this assumed multimedia effect we collected performance scores, eye movements, and think-aloud protocols from students solving problems in vector calculus with and without graphs.…

Yang, Fang-Ying – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2017
The main goal of this study was to investigate how readers' visual attention distribution during reading of conflicting science information is related to their scientific reasoning behavior. A total of 25 university students voluntarily participated in the study. They were given conflicting science information about earthquake predictions to read…

Jarodzka, Halszka; Janssen, Noortje; Kirschner, Paul A.; Erkens, Gijsbert – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2015
This study investigated whether design guidelines for computer-based learning can be applied to computer-based testing (CBT). Twenty-two students completed a CBT exam with half of the questions presented in a split-screen format that was analogous to the original paper-and-pencil version and half in an integrated format. Results show that students…

Lin, Yu-Tzu; Wu, Cheng-Chih; Hou, Ting-Yun; Lin, Yu-Chih; Yang, Fang-Ying; Chang, Chia-Hu – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2016
This study explores students' cognitive processes while debugging programs by using an eye tracker. Students' eye movements during debugging were recorded by an eye tracker to investigate whether and how high- and low-performance students act differently during debugging. Thirty-eight computer science undergraduates were asked to debug two C…

Cullipher, Steven; Sevian, Hannah – Journal of Chemical Education, 2015
Students often face difficulties when presented with chemical structures and asked to relate them to properties of those substances. Learning to relate structures to properties, both in predicting properties based on chemical structures and interpreting properties to infer structure, is pivotal in students' education in chemistry. This troublesome…

Leow, Ronald P.; Grey, Sarah; Marijuan, Silvia; Moorman, Colleen – Second Language Research, 2014
Given the current methodological interest in eliciting direct data on the cognitive processes L2 learners employ as they interact with L2 data during the early stages of the learning process, this article takes a critical and comparative look at three concurrent data elicitation procedures currently employed in the SLA literature: Think aloud (TA)…
