Current Trends in the Use of Eye Tracking in Mathematics Education Research: A PME Survey
This survey addresses the need for a systematic review of eye tracking applications in mathematics education, offering insights for researchers in this domain, though it is incremental as it synthesizes existing work.
The paper provides a literature overview of eye tracking in mathematics education research, analyzing trends in interest, equipment, and analysis methods from PME conference proceedings over the past decade.
Eye tracking (ET) is a research method that receives growing interest in mathematics education research (MER). This paper aims to give a literature overview, specifically focusing on the evolution of interest in this technology, ET equipment, and analysis methods used in mathematics education. To capture the current state, we focus on papers published in the proceedings of PME, one of the primary conferences dedicated to MER, of the last ten years. We identify trends in interest, methodology, and methods of analysis that are used in the community, and discuss possible future developments.
