This study investigates secondary-task interference on eye movements through learning with multimedia. We focus on the relationship between the influence of the secondary task on the eye movements of learners, and the learning outcomes as measured by retention, matching, and transfer. Half of the participants performed a spatial tapping task while studying the instructional materials, whereas the other half studied the materials, without spatial tapping. The results revealed suboptimal learning outcomes under the secondary task, which was accompanied by fewer transitions of gaze between the text and the figure. We propose that the suboptimal learning outcomes might be due to the disrupted processing of pictures, and possibly due to the less efficient integration, of the information gathered from the text and figures.

Eye tracking in multimodal comprehension of graphs Acartürk, Cengiz (2012-07-31) Eye tracking methodology has been a major empirical research approach for the study of online comprehension processes in reading and scene viewing. The use of eye tracking methodology for the study of diagrammatic representations, however, has been relatively limited so far. The investigation of specific types of diagrammatic representations, such as statistical graphs is even scarce. In this study, we propose eye tracking as an empirical research approach for a systematic analysis of multimodal comprehensi...
Student Engagement in Blended Learning Environments with Lecture-Based and Problem-Based Instructional Approaches Delialioğlu, Ömer (NATL YUNLIN UNIV SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, TAIWAN, NO 123, SECTION 3, DAXUE RD, DOULIU CITY, YUNKIN COUNTY 64002, TAIWAN, 2012-7) This study investigates how blending of different instructional approaches with technology affects students' engagement. A computer networks course was designed and implemented for the first eight weeks of the semester as a lecture-based blended learning environment and for the second eight weeks of the semester as a problem-based blended learning environment. A single group repeated measures research design was carried out to understand if there are significant differences in measures of student engagement...
Investigation of classroom management skills by using eye-tracking technology Çoşkun, Atakan; Çağıltay, Kürşat; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2019) This study investigates how a wearable eye tracker can be employed to assess and improve the visual attention of the faculty members in a higher education institution. Two experienced faculty members took part in the study. Both of them have been lecturing for more than ten years at the university, so they are experienced teachers. A wearable eye tracker was employed to assess and improve the participants’ visual attention in relation to classroom management skills. Besides, eye-tracking data were supported...
Recurrence quantification analysis of group eye tracking data Tajaddini, Mani; Acartürk, Cengiz; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2018) Eye movements can provide insight into the cognitive processes behind them. To study group cognition through investigating eye movements, we have developed a software tool (GETapp) to collect eye movement data from groups of participants performing a task on a set of computers in the scope of the Group Eye Tracking (GET) paradigm. Like many real-world systems, the data from group eye tracking experiments are non-linear. We have developed a software tool, a package for the R programming language, called the ...
Students' Perceptions On Effective Dimensions Of Interactive Learning In A Blended Learning Environment Delialioğlu, Ömer; Yıldırım, Zahide (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007) This study investigates students' perceptions of the "effective dimensions of interactive learning" in a hybrid course. A case- study design was used, and 25 students enrolled in "Computer Networks and Communication," a course at a public university in Turkey, formed the sample of this study. The study lasted for 14 weeks. At the end of the study, interviews were conducted to gather data on the "effective dimensions of interactive learning". Additionally, computer logs of the students were kept and analyzed...
