Notes on Eye-Tracking Data from a Novice Programmer

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution

Abstract

This paper presents notes on issues related to analysing eyetracking data from a novice programmer progressing through an introductory course in Java programming. The data are used to make observations on evidence of development of code reading strategy, and these are related to models of program comprehension. Some suggestions for the timing of studies within
the learning process and for useful visualisations and tools are included.
