My PhD Study (Project) - Digital Educational Games on Numeracy For 5-Year-Olds: Application of Eye Tracking Methodology

This research investigates the application of advanced eye-tracking technology to comprehend young children's focused attention and interaction strategies during learning with digital educational games (DEGs). A custom DEG and a cardboard control version were designed based on the UK Early Years Foundation Stage Framework. Using a between-subject experimental design and a paper-based test, the study validated learning outcomes. Eye-tracking data, including fixation duration and gaze sequences, revealed attention and interaction patterns. Findings highlight the need for child-friendly eye-tracker hardware and practical game design considerations such as duration, difficulty, voice instructions, and interactive characters for effective learning in 5-year-olds.
