Mind Wandering in Educational Video: An Eye-Tracking Investigation
Sat, April 10, 10:40am to 12:10pm EDT (10:40am to 12:10pm EDT), SIG Sessions, SIG-Technology as an Agent of Change in Teaching and Learning Paper and Symposium SessionsAbstract
With various learners watching educational videos that integrate instructor visibility, we know little about the impacts of this design on mind wandering. The study aimed to investigate a) how instructor visibility impacts mind wandering in educational video; and b) how visual attention to the instructor affects mind wandering; Each participant watched a video with or without instructor visibility, while their visual behaviors were tracked. Participants self-reported the frequency of mind wandering during the video. Findings indicated instructor visibility reduced mind wandering and more visual attention to the instructor was associated with less mind wandering.
