Description¶
The paper describes a methodology for studying co-located collaborative groups using mobile eye-trackers, providing "a comprehensive description of our data collection and analysis processes so that other researchers can take advantage of this cutting-edge technology." Data were collected from 27 student dyads (N=54) interacting with a Tangible User Interface, enabling measurement of joint visual attention and participation balance during collaboration.
Accounts¶
- Mobile eye-tracking methodology for capturing joint visual attention in co-located groups: The paper describes a methodology for studying co-located collaborative groups using mobile eye-trackers, providing "a comprehensive description of our data collection and analysis processes so that other researchers can take advantage of this cutting-edge technology." Data were collected from 27 student dyads (N=54) interacting with a Tangible User Interface, enabling measurement of joint visual attention and participation balance during collaboration. (Schneider et al. (2018))
- Multiple-person mobile gaze-tracking combined with continuous interpersonal coding for studying classroom eye contact: The article introduces a methodological approach described as "A novel approach in educational science, multiple-person mobile gaze-tracking", which "allows us to gather data on these momentary processes of nonverbal interaction". Teachers and target students wore mobile gaze-tracking glasses (accuracy 1.5 degrees of visual angle) while stationary cameras recorded the classroom; gaze dwells were coded in ELAN by target and duration, and teachers' interpersonal behavior was continuously coded with Sadler's computer-joystick method. The two codings were synchronized in half-second intervals to relate gaze types and durations to momentary communion and agency. (Haataja et al. (2021))
Claims¶
- Levels of joint visual attention are correlated with collaboration quality across collaborative groups [+M]
- One-sided face-targeted gazes were more frequent than dyadic eye contacts, and student-started eye contacts outnumbered teacher-started ones [+M]
