Background: In medical institutions, accidents are common in pediatric wards, and nursing students are at high risk for accidents due to their inability to understand pediatric characteristics and predict behavior. Objective: The purpose of this study was to clarify the educational effects of incorporating eye movement data into education (reflection). Methods: We presented still images to the subjects, measured their eye movements during observation and administered a questionnaire survey, performed reflection, and again measured their eye movements and administered the questionnaire survey to confirm changes in eye movements and cognition. Results: Before reflection, “other domains” were significantly longer in nursing students (p=0.04). After reflection, there was no difference. The results of the effect size for the second-year students showed that the impact of reflection in the “environment” and “other domains” was high. All students before and after reflection were able to recognize the risk factors of [children and bed fences]. The number of participants who were able to recognize the risk factors of [intravenous drip], [in-bed environment], and [peripheral items outside the bed] increased after the reflection compared to before.
