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 i3 Communicative scanpaths were more similar within (M = 0.39) than across expertise (M = 0.37) once culture was controlled. → Nora A. McIntyre & Tom Foulsham 2018

q3 · i3 · associational · r1
Communicative-gaze dual-IV comparisons in the same sample of 40 teachers. Within-expertise similarity exceeded across-expertise, "more similar within ( M = 0.39) than across ( M = 0.37) expertise", η²p = 0.15.
"scanpaths were more similar within ( M = 0.39) than across ( M = 0.37) expertise, F(1,38) = 6.92, p = 0.01, g2p = 0.15"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Teachers' gaze scanpaths are more similar within an individual than between individuals, in both attentional and communicative gaze
- Teachers and students use gaze to express agency and communion during classroom problem-solving — related
- Culture differentiates communicative but not attentional teacher scanpaths once expertise is controlled — related
- Teacher scanpaths are most dissimilar across combined expertise-and-culture sub-groups, significantly for attentional gaze and marginally for 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
- Expertise did not significantly predict gaze proportions toward student materials or teacher materials in either attentional or communicative gaze — related
