Abstract

The evolution of eye-tracking research, spanning from early 20th-century methodologies to contemporary video-based systems, has profoundly impacted neuroscience and education. This study examines 339 articles from the Web of Science database, focusing on the educational utility of eye-tracking technology. Through analysis with R Studio, key trends emerge: the “Computer & Education” journal dominates publications, while scholars like “Halszka, J.” and institutions like the “Natl Taiwan Normal Univ” stand out for their influential contributions. Notably, countries such as China and the USA lead in impactful research output. The findings shed light on publication patterns, keyword distributions, and the ascendance of influential journals, offering valuable insights for stakeholders in vision screening, policy development, and systematic review studies. Understanding these trends fosters a deeper comprehension of the evolving landscape of eye-tracking research within educational contexts, enabling informed decision-making and strategic planning for future research endeavors
