Abstract
This study is a continuation of previous research on teacher performance in art and craft classes. We aimed to clarify whether teacher performances, which were highly rated by observers, successfully captured studentsʼ attention by introducing eye-tracking devices as new research equipment. This study also analyzes and describes the performances of the teachers demonstrated in these highly rated scenes.
Five observers used PF-NOTE to record their evaluations immediately after attending the classes, along with the video footage. Simultaneously, the devices worn by the students were used to record their eye-tracking behavior. We analyzed the points in the highly rated scenes on which the observers focused using transcripts and compared them with the studentsʼ eye-tracking behavior. Additionally, we identified and analyzed moments when the studentsʼ attention was captured, even if the observers did not notice it. We examined the relationship between teacher performance and studentsʼ eye-tracking behavior based on these analyses. We also provided examples of teacher performance that effectively gathered studentsʼ attention and enhanced their concentration.
