Abstract

In this paper, we focus on how students with different levels of knowledge study worked examples. In order to comprehend SQL examples, the learner needs to understand the database which is used as the context. We analysed eye movements collected from a quasi experiment, and found a significant difference in the amount of attention students paid to database schemas.
