Title
Tracking Students' Cognitive Processes During Program Debugging - An Eye-Movement Approach.
Abstract
This study explores students' cognitive processes while debugging programs by using an eye tracker. Students' eye movements during debugging were recorded by an eye tracker to investigate whether and how high- and low-performance students act differently during debugging. Thirty-eight computer science undergraduates were asked to debug two C programs. The path of students' gaze while following pro...
