Introduction to Eye-Tracking

Eye-tracking technology involves monitoring and recording eye movements to determine where and how individuals focus their gaze. This technology provides insights into attention, focus, and cognitive processes by analyzing eye positions and movements, supporting data-driven approaches to understanding learning behaviors.

In educational research, eye-tracking devices are used to observe how students interact with digital learning materials, revealing which elements capture their attention and how they navigate content. This data can inform instructional design to enhance engagement and learning outcomes.

Understanding the fundamentals of eye-tracking leads to an exploration of the connection between eye movements and cognitive focus in learning environments, providing objective measures of student engagement.
