Purpose of the study is to investigate how adults solve tangram based geometry problems on computer screen.Two problems with different difficulty levels were presented to 20 participants. The participants tried to solve problems by placing seven geometric objects into correct locations. In order to analyze the process, the participants and their eye movements were recorded by an Tobii Eye Tracking device while solving the problems. The results showed that the participants employed different strategies while solving problems with different difficulty levels.

Investigation of the effects of problem solving instruction on fifth grade students’ mathematical problem solving performance
Kanar, Özge; Bulut, Safure; Department of Mathematics Education (2022-2-04)
The primary purpose of the current study was to investigate the effects of problem solving instruction on 5th grade students’ mathematical problem solving performance across the three time periods. Also, the other aim of the study was to examine the relationship between 5th grade students’ mathematical problem solving performance scores of Well-Structured Problem Solving Tests (WSPST) and Ill-Structured Problem Solving Tests (ISPST) after the problem solving instruction. In addition to that, exploring s...
Middle school students' use of problem-solving steps and their strategies in solving word problems
Alkan, C. Sinan; Akyüz, Didem; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2019)
The aim of the present study was to investigate the middle school students’ use of problem solving steps and their use of the strategies in the process of solution of Problem-Solving questions related to topics of numbers generally. The data was gathered in the fall semester of the 2017-2018 academic year. The study sample included 116 (29 fifth graders, 29 sixth graders, 25 seventh graders, and 33 eighth graders) middle school students in Konya, Turkey. Different Problem Solving Achievement tests were used...
Examining an Online Collaboration Learning Environment with the Dual Eye-Tracking Paradigm: The Case of Virtual Math Teams
Uzunosmanoglu, Selin Deniz; Çakır, Murat Perit (2014-06-27)
The aim of this study is to investigate the computer supported collaborative problem solving processes using the dual eye-tracking method. 18 university students participated in this study, and 9 pairs tried to solve 10 geometry problems using Virtual Math Team (VMT) online environment. Which situations the participants' eye movements, and eye gazes overlap, and how usability of VMT environment affect the problem solving processes are tried to identify. After experiments with two eye-trackers, a questionnai...
Middle school students’ quantitative reasoning in pictorial, symbolic and iconographic problems
Uyguç, Ayşenur; Sevinç, Şerife; Department of Mathematics Education (2023-1)
The aim of this study was to examine middle school students’ (5th–8th grade) quantitative reasoning in early algebra problems given in pictorial, symbolic, and iconographic forms and involved single-unit and multiple-unit substitutions. The study was carried out with a total of 60 students studying in two public middle schools in the town of Şarkışla, Sivas, in October of the 2021-2022 academic year. Participants were determined by the purposeful and convenience sampling method. In this study, a multiple ca...
How does the science writing heuristic approach affect students' performances of different academic achievement levels? A case for high school chemistry
Kingir, Sevgi; Geban, Ömer; GÜNEL, MURAT (2012-01-01)
This study investigates the effects of the Science Writing Heuristic (SWH), known as an argumentation-based science inquiry approach, on Grade 9 students' performance on a post-test in relation to their academic achievement levels. Four intact classes taught by 2 chemistry teachers from a Turkish public high school were selected for the study; one class from each teacher was assigned as the treatment group, and the other class from each teacher was assigned as the control group. Students in the treatment gr...
