Being able to move between multiple representations is an important skill in biochemistry. Schematics are a type of representation commonly used in biochemistry instruction often combined with chemical structures to form a metabolic pathway. As little work has focused on schematics in biochemistry, this study uses the Tobii X2‐30 Compact Eye Tracker system to record biochemistry experts and students enrolled in a one semester biochemistry course and a second semester organic course as they read a familiar (glycolytic) and novel (IMP synthesis) metabolic pathway image. This presentation will focus on differences in areas of interest (AOI), fixation, and scan path analysis. This abstract is from the Experimental Biology 2018 Meeting.
