Abstract

In this study, we propose a learning strategy using a highlighter pen to improve the learning efficiency of learners. This method makes the important information stand out by colouring text. It is known that highlighting important points of sentence problems with a highlighter pen improves the speed of answers and correct answer rates, especially in school subjects, such as Japanese and mathematics. In this study, we focused on the gaze movement and analysed the gaze dwell time and the number of gaze movements to clarify what kind of influence and learning effect it has on the cognitive process.
