“…The focus is on analyzing teachers' professional behavior, leading to improvements in educational methods and teaching practices. In addition, the application of eye tracking to the analysis of information processing patterns can be mentioned [29]. This is important since it presents an approach to evaluate a kind of a cognitive activity based on utilization of the number of mental models involved in a given cognitive process.…”

This article presents a study on in-service professional development of Lithuanian secondary school language teachers. The motivation is based on the understanding of language education as a highly interactive, complex process that requires a teacher’s digital literacy skills combined with integrated instructional approaches. This requires the implementation of a set of professional development activities. As a research methodology, we use a mixed method approach based on collecting eye tracking data in the first phase and, then, focus on comparative teacher self-reflection using data analysis and qualitative interviews. Finally, based on the collected qualitative and quantitative data, educational experts develop and present recommendations on the scope and direction of professional development. As a result of this study, a comprehensive set of the eye tracking data from the experiment involving 93 participants in total and 23 recorded lessons is presented. This includes variables such as number of visits, time to first fixation, number of fixations, and fixation duration vertically and horizontally. The discussion presents the results of the qualitative part of the study, including comprehensive teachers’ feedback. In conclusion, an integrated training program for in-service language teachers is presented, including an eye tracking experiment that provides data for extensive self-reflection and feedback.

This paper describes some fundamentals and challenges in using eye tracking for the assessment of usability and accessibility in the fields in Human–Computer Interaction and Educational Computing. This technique has great potential since it allows considering human factors and individual differences in these areas. This non-invasive method, of physiological nature, allows to know, in an objective way, the visual behavior of the users when facing a user interface or educational material, allowing to infer conclusions related to psychological processes, such as attention or cognitive load. The purpose of this work is to propose a tool set of guidelines and measures, as well as a methodological approach, to be used in eye tracking assessments. This proposal is based on and validated by the authors’ previous experience and results in the application of this technique.
