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.
q2 i? Across the three lessons, one-sided face-targeted gazes were more frequent than dyadic eye contacts, and student-started dyadic eye contacts were more common than teacher-started ones. → Haataja 2021

q2 · i? · associational · r1
Descriptive dwell counts from the ELAN gaze coding of the three lessons showed "one-sided face-targeted gazes were more frequent than dyadic eye contacts", with teacher gazes at student faces most frequent (n = 677) and student-started eye contacts (n = 298) more common than teacher-started (n = 175).
"One-sided face-targeted gazes were more frequent than dyadic eye contacts. Teacher gazes at student faces was the most frequent category (n = 677), followed by student gazes at teacher faces ( n = 512). Student-started dyadic eye contacts were more common ( n =2 9 8 )t han teacher-started dyadic eye contacts (n =1 7 5 ) ."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Teacher gazes at student faces and teacher-started eye contacts occur during high teacher agency, and teacher-started eye contacts are shorter when agency is higher — related
- The relation between eye contact and teacher interpersonal behavior differed between teachers: Joanne's agency effect was opposite and Lily's communion effect was non-significant — related
- Student-started eye contacts occur when teacher agency is low, and their durations increase as teacher agency decreases — related
- Teachers and students use gaze to express agency and communion during classroom problem-solving — a broader claim this one bears on
