Abstract

A teacher’s gaze empathy has been emphasized as a core teaching behavior during science instruction. However, there is no study about gaze empathy in expository and experimental classes. Therefore, this study was analyzed teacher’s gaze empathy in the expository and experimental class of science. For this purpose, we analyzed teacher’s gaze fixation at three AOIs, students, materials, and environment, in both classes. The results have been shown that teachers’ gaze fixations were focused at the students in expository class and experimental class. Also, teachers’ gaze fixations at the materials were higher in experimental class than expository class. These results suggest that science teachers have different gaze empathy between both class. Based on the results, this study has proposed that development teaching strategy should be separated between expository and experimental class in science teacher training.
