The accessibility and affordability of
eye-tracking technology have increased significantly in recent years. This
technology, measuring various eye movement parameters such as fixation
duration, count, saccades, and pupil size, has an essential role in educational
research. It enables the analysis of both teacher and student behaviors,
offering insights into cognitive processes during lessons or applications.
Visualizations, such as heatmaps and gaze plots, help in understanding
attention patterns, contributing to the enhancement of teaching methods and
learning environments. This study presents the findings from a literature
review focused on the intersection of education and eye-tracking technology. By
employing a systematic literature review, this study identifies relevant
articles published between 2019 and 2023. The distribution of publications over
the years highlights sustained interest in the field. Furthermore, this study
explores global participation in eye-tracking research, with the United States,
China, and Germany leading in contributions. The distribution of research
topics emphasizes the diverse applications, with self-regulated learning,
language education, and science education being predominant areas of focus. In
conclusion, this study underscores the dual role of eye-tracking technology in
education – as a tool for precise data collection and an interactive device to
enhance learning environments. It emphasizes the importance of collaborative
efforts among teachers, researchers, and technology experts to optimize the use
of eye-tracking technology in education, ultimately benefiting students across
various schools and learning settings.
