Interdisciplinary approach in primary educationHuber, Loreta (Avtor) interdisciplinary approachmultimodal educationcross-cultural awarenessanimated filmseyetrackingThe paper presents results from a study exploring the effectiveness of animated films in primary education for enhancing cross-cultural awareness. The study examined how animated films can broaden young learners’ perspectives on diverse cultural practices, values, and traditions, and identified factors that affect information processing in complex, cross-cultural contexts. Using triangulation, data were gathered and analysed from twenty primary students (ages 8-11). The study employed Tobii Pro Glasses 3 for eye-tracking, supplemented by a questionnaire to support the eye-tracking findings. Analysis revealed that integrating culture-specific concepts from animated films can effectively enhance cross-cultural awareness in interdisciplinary education.Univerzitetna založba Univerze v Mariboru20252025-10-20 14:00:37Znanstveno delo95764UDK: 373.3.091.3:791COBISS_ID: 253121539DOI: 10.18690/rei.4806ISSN pri članku: 1855-4431sl
