The Eye Teach Stats project is an Erasmus+ Cooperation partnership project in higher education, funded by the European Union. Five partners from three countries (Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands) work on enabling young people to become data literate by developing vignettes based on eye-tracking research.
The Eye Teach Stats project consists of five interconnected work packages.
Based on recent eye-tracking research, a common working framework (WP2) will be developed that identifies typical statistical (mis)interpretations and related visual patterns in students’ gaze behaviour.
This framework informs the design of an innovative teacher training course with eye-tracking vignettes (WP3), which present a combination of visual and verbal expressions of students (e.g., screenshots of gaze plots along with students’ utterances) to support teachers in diagnosing and dealing with students’ statistical (mis)interpretations when interpreting graphs.
The course will be evaluated for effectiveness (WP4) through a controlled trial across countries.
Project results, materials, and insights will be disseminated in three languages via open-access publications, conferences, and digital platforms (WP5).
A dedicated project management structure (WP1) ensures coordination and quality throughout the project’s duration.
