Özet
The purpose of the present study was to propose a model for mathematics achievement
considering the mediating role of eye tracking measurements in the relationship between
problem solving performance and mathematics achievement. In this sequential explanatory
mixed method research design, a geometry test was conducted to 381 7th grade students. Their
problem-solving process was recorded using eye tracking technology. Also, their mathematics
achievement scores were acquired from their schools. Afterwards, semi-structured interviews
were conducted to 15 students. Based on the results, it was observed that there was a positive
relationship among problem-solving performance and mathematics achievement while eye
tracking measurements were negatively correlated to problem solving performance and
mathematics achievement. Qualitative findings also confirmed these results. Moreover, the
hypothesized model could approximately express 22% of the variance on mathematics
achievement.
