q2 i2 Durations of teacher-started dyadic eye contacts correlated negatively with teacher agency (r = −.224). → Haataja 2021 q2 i1 Across gaze categories, eye contact had a significant effect on teacher agency (η² = 0.018), with teacher agency highest during teacher-started eye contacts and teacher gazes at student faces. → Haataja 2021 (2)

Evidence¶

Haataja 2021¶

Haataja, E., Salonen, V., Laine, A., Toivanen, M., & Hannula, M. S. (2021). The Relation Between Teacher-Student Eye Contact and Teachers' Interpersonal Behavior During Group Work: a Multiple-Person Gaze-Tracking Case Study in Secondary Mathematics Education.

q2 · i2 · associational · r1

Pearson correlations on log-transformed gaze durations from the three-lesson case study showed teacher-started eye contacts were shorter during high teacher agency, the printed effect size being r = −.224 (p = .003); the article reports this result was led by Joanne's data.

"The correlation between the durations of teacher-started eye contacts and teacher agency was negative (r(171) = − .224, p = .003)."

q2 · i1 · associational · r1

The pooled within-subject ANOVA on teacher agency found a statistically significant effect with printed effect size η² = 0.018; teacher agency was highest during teacher-started eye contacts and teacher gazes at student faces.

"The analysis of variance yielded statistically significant effect of teacher-student eye contact on teacher agency ( F(3, 1658) = 9.88, p <. 0 0 1 ,η2 = 0.018), between the gaze categories."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• One-sided face-targeted gazes were more frequent than dyadic eye contacts, and student-started eye contacts outnumbered teacher-started ones — related
• Students gaze at their teacher's face more often and with longer durations during high teacher communion during small-group problem solving — related
• Student-started eye contacts occur when teacher agency is low, and their durations increase as teacher agency decreases — 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
• Teachers and students use gaze to express agency and communion during classroom problem-solving — a broader claim this one bears on
