Analysis and interpretation of a historical photograph among future teachers of social science subjects: Research using the eye-tracking method

Original language description

The article presents the findings of mixed-design research carried out in 2021 on a sample of students. The aim of the research was to determine the extent to which a carefully considered, didactically structured analysis of an iconographic historical source (a historical photograph) influences the quality of the source’s perception, analysis and interpretation. The study used three methods of data collection and processing: audio recording analysis using open axial coding and categorization; eye-tracking to investigate the perception strategies of the test subjects; and structured interviews carried out with the test subjects following the test, in order to gain information on the course of the test and to indicate potential options for modifying the research tool. The results of the study showed that a didactically structured analysis of the iconographic source had a substantial positive effect on the students’ perception strategies and the quality of their interpretation. If the test subjects are not guided towards a thorough observation of the image, identifying its individual elements and determining their meanings, they mostly overlook these important elements entirely, and their interpretation as a whole is very superficial.
