Abstract

The Eye Movements dataset for Objective Assessment contains eye gaze data and learners' scores in an objective-based object-oriented programming assessment. The learners' knowledge was assessed for various programming concepts like object initialisation, variable declaration, constructors etc. The eye gaze data of learners were collected using the commercial eye tracker, and their responses using the Think Aloud method. The eye gaze data was then mapped to the contextual information in the stimulus, which included questions, keywords, and answer options. The raw and analysed data are available to learn learners' cognitive behavior during an objective assessment.
