Abstract
An integrated understanding of illustrations and texts is crucial for students to comprehend science teaching learning materials. Intervention methods can be employed to facilitate this integrated understanding. This study examined the effects of Eye Movement Modeling Examples (EMME) and Prompting interventions on the learning of illustrated scientific texts among primary school students. Furthermore, the study compared the reading strategies and learning comprehension of fifth-grade students who utilized EMME, an approach that facilitates learning through observational methods, with those who used Prompting, a method that directly guides learning through linguistic information. The study analysis revealed that EMME had a significantly greater effect on integrated reading strategies and learning comprehension compared with Prompting. Specifically, the EMME group exhibited an integrated reading strategy that involved relating the illustrations and texts, whereas the Prompting group and the control group did not demonstrate the same strategy. In addition, the post-test results indicated that the EMME group achieved higher average scores in verbal and pictorial factors compared with the other two groups. Keywords: eye movement modeling examples, learner-oriented intervention, science education, science learning, South Korea
