Summary
High gaze similarity in collaborative learning with interactive displays correlates with better learning outcomes. Individual focus on diverse information sources also boosts learning gains in informal educational settings.
Area of Science:
- Educational Technology
- Human-Computer Interaction
- Cognitive Science
Background:
- Interactive displays are increasingly used in informal learning environments to boost engagement and learning.
- Limited research exists on how student collaboration around these displays impacts learning and engagement.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate how students collaborate around interactive displays in informal learning settings.
- To determine the influence of collaboration and individual behaviors on learning gains and engagement.
Main Methods:
- A dual eye-tracking study with 36 participants using a within-group experimental design.
- Data collection included gaze, voice, game logs, and learning gain tests.
- Analyses involved correlation, regression, and covariance to examine collaboration, engagement, and learning.
Main Results:
- Pairs with high gaze similarity demonstrated higher learning outcomes.
- Individual learning gains were associated with time spent acquiring information from images and text.
- Speech patterns were identified as a potential covariate in analyzing gaze-behavior-learning relationships.
Conclusions:
- Gaze similarity is a strong indicator of collaborative success and learning outcomes.
- Eye-tracking can effectively measure cognitive processes in collaboration within informal learning environments.
- Interactive displays facilitate natural collaboration, with gaze patterns offering insights into learning mechanisms.

E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...

Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
