q2 i? Vertical gaze patterns on the graph area indicate a correct histogram interpretation strategy, while horizontal gaze patterns indicate an incorrect case-value plot interpretation strategy. → Boels 2024

A previous qualitative eye-tracking study with 50 Dutch pre-university students (Grades 10-12) inferred strategies from gaze patterns and stimulated recall interviews. The authors state that "students' horizontal or vertical gaze patterns on the graph area were indicative of most students' strategies" across five histogram items.

"The previous study revealed that stu- dents' horizontal or vertical gaze patterns on the graph area were indicative of most stu- dents' strategies on single histograms."
