The stimuli consisted of a problem statement, example output, and a set of multiple-choice questions regarding variables, data types, and operations needed to solve the programming problems. We recorded eye movements of students and performed an Area of Interest (AoI) sequence analysis to identify reading strategies in terms of participants' performance and visual effort. Using classical eye tracking metrics and a visual AoI sequence analysis we identified two main groups of participants-effective and ineffective problem solvers. This indicates that diversity of participants' mental schemas leads to a difference in their performance. Therefore, identifying how participants' reading behavior varies at a finer level of granularity warrants further investigation. %G English %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-02084127/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-02084127/file/Obaidellah_2019_Classification%20of%20Strategies%20for%20Solving%20Programming%20Problems%20using%20AoI%20Sequence%20Analysis.pdf %L hal-02084127 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-02084127 %~ CNRS %~ INRIA %~ UNIV-PSUD %~ INRIA-SACLAY %~ INRIA_TEST %~ TESTALAIN1 %~ UMR8623 %~ CENTRALESUPELEC %~ INRIA2 %~ UNIV-PARIS-SACLAY %~ UNIV-PSUD-SACLAY %~ INRIA-SACLAY-2015 %~ CENTRALESUPELEC-SACLAY %~ LISN %~ GS-ENGINEERING %~ GS-COMPUTER-SCIENCE %~ LISN-AVIZ %~ INRIA-ALLEMAGNE
