Here's Looking at you, Kid -- Can Gaze Awareness Help to Learn to Learn Together in Collaborative Problem Solving?

This paper presents an approach to utilize eye-tracking technology to analyze and understand complex collaborative competencies that are subsumed under the term learning to learn together (L2L2). One challenge here is to combine fruitfully analyses at different levels, ranging between gaze information, deliberate problem-solving actions, and complex collaborative interactions. Our analysis uses automated computation of gaze measures, domain activities, and qualitative manual coding to establish a mixed-method combination of analysis. We present our results of an empirical lab study of a collaborative puzzle-solving in different conditions of gaze awareness for the collaboration partners.
