Yaneva, Victoria; Clauser, Brian E.; Morales, Amy; Paniagua, Miguel – Journal of Educational Measurement, 2021
Eye-tracking technology can create a record of the location and duration of visual fixations as a test-taker reads test questions. Although the cognitive process the test-taker is using cannot be directly observed, eye-tracking data can support inferences about these unobserved cognitive processes. This type of information has the potential to…

Simon, Molly N.; Prather, Edward E.; Buxner, Sanlyn R.; Impey, Chris D. – International Journal of Science Education, 2019
The discovery and characterisation of planets orbiting distant stars has shed light on the origin of our own Solar System. It is important that college-level introductory astronomy students have a general understanding of the planet formation process before they are able to draw parallels between extrasolar systems and our own Solar System. In…
