Research Abstract |
PURPOSe:The purpose of the present study was (1) to clarify the characteristics of individual observation and inference processes in scientific inquiry by the use of eye camera,(2) to develop a new method for measurement and evaluation of the processes,and (3) to porvide the data for effective teaching and learning. MAJOR FINDINGS: 1.Development of Eye Movement Monitoring System and its Try out (1) Analyses of eye movements while watching illustrations of textbook and educational TV programs revealed the factors concerning concentration and defferentiation of eye spots. (2) Eye movements during visual,auditorial,and audiovisual information proceccing were compared to clarify their relationships among presentation methods,stimulus characteristics,and recall,which can be applied to improve teaching methods. (3) Patterns of eye movement,number of fixation points, fixation time,traveling distances,vector of eye meovement were revealed to be significant indices for processing of eye movement data. (4) Audio-Visual Test was found to be an effective technique for measurement of learning processes through visual media. 2.Methodology of measurement and evaluation for observation and inference processes (1) Applying new analytical methods succeeded in characterizing individual observation and inference processes, which conventional group-comparison methods have failed to clarify. (2) Methodology of study of observation and inference processes was discussed in connection with human information processing.
