معرفی
Dr. Ellen Kok is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Education within the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences at Utrecht University. Her research focuses on learning complex visual tasks with a specialization in eye-tracking methodology applied to medical education and radiology training. She investigates the use of gaze displays for teaching and learning, including applications like Eye Movement Modelling Examples (EMME) and feedback systems for medical image interpretation.
Her research spans three key areas: (1) Using teacher gaze displays to support student attention and strategy learning, (2) Implementing student gaze displays for teacher adaptation, and (3) Developing gaze-based feedback mechanisms for self-monitoring. This work is grounded in example-based learning and cognitive load theory. She also studies expertise development in visual diagnostic tasks through one-to-one supervision and master-apprentice learning contexts.
Current research trends show strong focus on gaze-based instructional systems (2020-2024), with keywords spanning Medical Education, Radiology, Cognitive Load, and Educational Technology. Sub-fields include diagnostic reasoning, visual attention modeling, feedback systems, radiology workflow, neural correlates of expertise, and medical image analysis.
