Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? With expertise controlled, teachers' attentional scanpaths were not more similar within-culture than across (p = 0.08). → Nora A. McIntyre & Tom Foulsham 2018
q3 i2 Communicative scanpaths were more similar within (M = 0.39) than across (M = 0.38) culture with expertise controlled. → Nora A. McIntyre & Tom Foulsham 2018 (2)
Evidence¶
Nora A. McIntyre & Tom Foulsham 2018¶
Nora A. McIntyre & Tom Foulsham. (2018). Scanpath analysis of expertise and culture in teacher gaze in real-world classrooms. Instructional Science 46, 435-455. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11251-017-9445-x
q3 · i? · associational · r2
Dual-IV comparison (Table 4) of attentional scanpaths across cultures with expertise held constant, in the sample of 40 teachers. The effect did not reach significance, "not more similar within-culture than across ( p = 0.08)"; no effect size was printed.
"teachers' attentional scanpaths were not more similar within-culture than across ( p = 0.08; Fig. 3), which opposed Hypothesis 3"

q3 · i2 · associational · r1
Communicative-gaze dual-IV comparisons in the same sample. Within-culture similarity exceeded across-culture, "more similar within ( M = 0.39) than across ( M = 0.38) culture", η²p = 0.10, p = 0.05.
"communicative scanpaths accorded Hypothesis 3 by being more similar within ( M = 0.39) than across ( M = 0.38) culture, F(1,38) = 3.98, p = 0.05, g2p = 0.10"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Teachers' gaze scanpaths are more similar within an individual than between individuals, in both attentional and communicative gaze
- Teacher scanpaths are most dissimilar across combined expertise-and-culture sub-groups, significantly for attentional gaze and marginally for communicative gaze
- Teacher scanpaths are more similar within expertise levels than across expertise once culture is controlled, for both attentional and communicative gaze — related
- Expert teachers begin gaze sequences with student fixation and return to students throughout, whereas Hong Kong experts intersperse student scans that UK experts never use — related
- Culture did not predict any attentional gaze proportions, but Hong Kong teachers looked more at teacher materials and UK teachers more at non-instructional regions during communicative gaze — related
