DESCRIPTION: A common belief in the literature is that expert teachers hav
 e developed strategies to notice information and allocate their attentiona
 l resources to what is relevant for teaching. These common beliefs about t
 he visual processes of expert teachers are methodologically rooted in the 
 analysis of verbal protocols. In the present study\, we used eye tracking 
 to complement verbal analysis and to capture where teachers direct their g
 aze to. Participants were 75 participants (25 student teachers\, 25 expert
  teachers\, 25 school principals) who inspected photographs of classroom s
 ituations. The situations varied in their interactional complexity (teache
 r only\, student-teacher dyad\, small group\, whole classroom) and in the 
 duration of stimulus presentation (1 second\, 3 seconds\, 5 seconds). In t
 his presentation I will offer a few findings on expert-novice differences\
 , outline interactions between the visual and verbal data material\, and d
 iscuss implications for teacher education.\n\nProfile\nAndreas Gegenfurtne
 r is a post-doctoral research fellow at the TUM School of Education in Mun
 ich. He is an educational researcher whose interests include transfer of l
 earning\, motivation\, and human expertise. In 2008 he earned a diploma in
  education from the University of Regensburg\, Germany\, with a study on m
 otivation to transfer learning from training to the workplace. He moved to
  the University of Turku\, Finland\, where he earned his doctoral degree w
 ith a thesis entitled "Motivational influences on transfer: Dimensions and
  boundary conditions". In Turku he started to use eye tracking as a method
  to capture the transfer of visual attention processes of experts and novi
 ces in medical image diagnosis. Since 2012 he works as a post-doc research
 er at the TUM School of Education where he applied eye tracking to the tea
 ching domain\, aiming to understand how expert and student teachers select
 \, organize\, and use classroom information.
