Description
The lectures give an overview of the history of eye-tracking and research topics today, especially in psychology and education. Furthermore, they present typical study designs from research questions to experiment building and data analyses, and discuss common challenges in applying the method. The workshops include equipment demonstrations and hands-on practice on them. Independent work consists of reading course materials and completing a given written assignment. In the assignment, the methodology is applied in the doctoral researcher’s own field of research.
Learning outcomes
