Tobii Technology has released the findings of a new research study that reveals the attention patterns of students in the classroom. Conducted by Kennesaw State University associate professor of physics education David Rosengrant, the study provides new insight into effective teaching techniques that aim to keep students engaged and motivated to learn during lectures.
Conducted using Tobii Glasses, a portable, wearable eye-tracking device that allows for unobtrusive eye tracking for research in real-world environments, the study contradicts the widely accepted belief that classroom attention peaks during the first 15 minutes of class and then generally tapers off.
