| Outline of Research at the Start |
小学校低学年向けの読み聞かせでの児童の注意力や関心、あるいは児童の自由な読書における内容認識度などを、視線計測技術を使って可視化する。被験者となる児童がメガネ型アイトラッカーを装着して、読み聞かせの本や読み聞かせする人を見る時、あるいは、手にした本をめくりながら自由に自分で読む時の眼球運動や視線移動のパターンを追跡して、そのデータをPCに送り、特定領域の注視量を定量化する。

| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Eye movements during reading picture books were measured with a spectacle-type eye tracker for 35 children attending a day-care center, comparing oral with silent readings, and paper with display readings. Comparisons between silent and oral readings are as follows. (1) The time required for oral reading was longer. (2) The attention is concentrated on the letters when reading aloud. (3) The difference in the gaze plot was significant in the 2nd graders, suggesting their phonological conversion was insufficient in the silent reading. Comparisons between paper and monitor display are as follows. (1) The time required for reading was longer for the paper version. (2) The number of fixations was lower on the monitor. (3) The monitor display was used for longer fixation time in the 3rd grade, while the opposite was observed in the 5th and 6th grades. (4) The comprehension level was slightly higher for the monitor in the 3rd grade. These results support hypothesis in previous research.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究は，学童保育所という自然な環境，かつメガネ型という装着負担の無い手法で，児童の視線追跡を組織的に行った初めての研究である．従来の読書理解の研究は，児童の報告や理解度テストなど間接的，主観的評価に依った．本研究の視線追跡は，眼球の生理的運動に基づく客観的な評価である．自己申告では内容を把握しにくい児童の読書の興味や理解度を計測できる可能性を示し，また，従来の教育・認知心理学研究における仮説を裏付けるデータを取得した．近年の我が国児童の読書量の低下は著しい．本研究は興味や理解度の推定を目指しており，読書量を増やす図書開発に貢献する．またデジタル教材の長所短所の把握にも有用である．
