Proposal of Methodology for Evaluation of Ergonomics of Teaching Materials Using Eye Tracking

Abstract

Educational materials are a key component of the educational process. In this respect, it is an instrument that is essential throughout the education pro-cess and where quality plays a key role. The quality of educational materials must be assessed in terms of expertise and timeliness, and in terms of ob-servance and application of didactic and pedagogical principles. Only high-quality educational materials bring greater efficiency to the entire education process. An essential aspect of assessing the quality of educational materials is also their ergonomics. That is, assessing whether the educational material works in accordance with the author's ideas. The principle of ergonomics, which includes comprehensibility and user-friendliness, is already common-ly used in the design of web pages or advertising flyers. Their aim is also to communicate information and lead the attention of the reader. This article is devoted to the definition of the methodology by which we evaluate this er-gonomics for educational materials and based on research we are able to formulate recommendations in this area.

Increasing Reading Speed and Comprehension of EFL Undergraduate Students at a Saudi Arabian University Using Speed Increasing Software

“…This device (mentioned in Smolka et al, 2020) is used in research studies related to analysing the process of reading based on sensing eye movements. It tracks the paths of eye movements and records the points of attention that a reader pays to individual words.…”

Analysis of English Teaching Quality Evaluation in Colleges and Universities Based on AHP Modeling

“…Currently, many universities fail to take into account the differences between disciplines and majors [4][5][6]. It is necessary to establish a set of scientific, comprehensive, and effective English classroom teaching quality evaluation systems according to the characteristics of the undergraduate English subject to promote the development of teachers and improve the quality of English classroom teaching [7][8].…”
