About the workshop
Eye tracking technology is becoming increasingly affordable and technically accessible, and it offers unprecedented detail into the study of mental processes at the core of educational and psychological research. This training workshop is designed to allow researchers with no prior experience to learn enough about this technology, understand the opportunities and challenges involved, and familiarize themselves in hands-on sessions, so that they will be competent (and feel confident) enough to incorporate this method in their own research, either independently or as part of a research group.
The structure of the workshop is as follows: An introductory background will be provided in Day 1. Days 2–4 will expand from the introductory foundation to provide concrete training in topics of high relevance for educational and psychological research. Lectures will be given by internationally recognized experts in eye tracking (click on their names in the program below for more information). Each lecture will cover an advanced topic from a theoretical point of view and will present concrete research examples, pointing out challenges and solutions. Supervised hands-on sessions will provide opportunity for familiarization with the procedures and interaction with experienced researchers to address practical issues. Day 5 will be devoted to (supervised) hands-on work, working in groups on entire mini-studies, from conception to presentation.
