Abstract. Eye tracking research involved into educational process yields objective visualized data on the compliance of a product, interface or content with the goals and objectives of users. The mechanisms of controlling visual attention, interest and cognitive load are of importance in pedagogical research based on eye tracking. The article discusses the results of a pilot study to understand the perception of electronic presentations by Russian and foreign students based on eye tracking technique. A total of 10 respondents took part in the study, the purpose was to test eye tracking as a tool for evaluating and tailoring the textual and visual parts of a presentation. The hypothesis of the study about the difference in the strategies of studying presentations for Russian and foreign students was confirmed. Gaze plots, heat maps and total viewing time as a result of the study render the main strategies of students’ interaction with the electronic presentations’ content. The data provides the educational practitioners with the insights on honing the educational content to different categories of students. It is recommended to carry out further research to study the multimodal stimuli of static and dynamic presentations in the process of perception of lecture material.
Keywords: pedagogical research, eye tracking, educational content, digital text reading strategies.
