| Abstract Title: | How do Multimedia Hints Affect Students’ Eye Movements in Conceptual Physics Problems? |
|---|---|
| Abstract: | We investigated the effect of hint modality on students' eye movements on conceptual physics problems with diagrams. We recruited 144 students enrolled in a physics class for future elementary teachers. The participants were randomly assigned to conditions with no hints, visual hints, text hints, audio hints, and all the possible hint modality combinations. We found that different hint modalities affect participants' eye movements differently and the difference of participants' eye movements relates to their problem-solving performance. Based on our results, we propose a new conceptual model for problem solving with multimedia hints to interpret eye movements and performance data. |
