| Abstract Title: | Eye-gaze patterns while interpreting kinematics graphs |
|---|---|
| Abstract: | Proficient problem solvers are able to interpret and use multiple representations of information (e.g. text, equations, pictures, diagrams, and graphs). In this study, introductory physics students viewed several kinematics graphs on a computer screen and were asked to select a numbered region of the graph corresponding to a text description of motion. We present an analysis of subjects' performance on the items and eye-gaze fixation patterns recorded using an eye tracker. |
