Abstract

Abstract: This article adds to the understanding of teachers' professional vision by analyzing their gaze in an instructional situation of whole-class discourse using on-action eye-tracking data. We investigated the relationship between pre-service and in-service teachers' attentional processes and students' hand-raising behavior. We found that teachers' attentional processes were positively related to the number of hand-raisings, and that in-service teachers' gazes were more student-centered. Furthermore, in-service teachers were able to distribute their attention among more students, regardless of their hand-raising behavior.
