Summary

Today, rapid developments in technology and science; affected the economic, cultural, political and social fields. The use of technology in these areas has become a necessity rather than a privilege. Education is one of the areas where technology is used the most and most intensely affected. Different education and training technologies can be used at every stage of the education and training process. With the effective and correct use of technology, it is possible to provide efficient and effective service in the fields of education and health care. This situation is gaining more and more importance for our country in the fields of nursing practice and education. Nursing organizations accept technology as the basic building block of nursing education and practice. Simulation is defined as "a technique of developing real patient experiences and the most important aspects of the real world from experience using practice guides in a completely interactive way". According to the World Health Organization, the use of simulation methods for teaching and learning is one of the gold standards in nursing education. In the world, eye tracking systems are used to determine the focal point. Eye tracking technology aims to record the movement of the eyeball to determine where the person is focusing while performing certain tasks. These systems have also contributed to the study of cognitive and neurological development. It has started to be used together with simulation training in health education. By determining where the student focuses during clinical practice simulation training using an eye tracker, it is possible to reschedule the practice training or to provide feedback on the student's misapplications during the application. The purpose of this research; The aim of this study is to develop an eye tracker for simulation training in nursing and to examine the effectiveness of an eye tracker in a simulation scenario.

BEHAVIORAL

Development of eye tracker for simulation training in nursing

Purpose: To develop a cost-effective and effective eye tracker for simulation training in nursing in Turkey. The wearable eye tracker consists of a front camera that will detect the pupil and determine the gaze region of the eye, and glasses or an alternative headband to which these cameras will be connected. A portable mini-computer will be used to process the obtained images. While recording and monitoring the eye movement with the pupil detection camera, real-world images in the user's field of view will be recorded by the front camera and the focal points will be determined. By establishing a linear connection between these found points, temperature (heat) maps will be created at the points where the eye looks.
