Using eye-tracking to understand inductive reasoning

2020

Master's thesis in Mathematics education (MA500) This master thesis explains the work done to answer three research questions which are re-lated to the understanding of inductive reasoning in solving shape pattern tasks. A short introduction presents the topic of the thesis, the research questions, the challenges faced during the pandemic, the related effects on the quality of the thesis and main discover-ies.An analysis of related literature was done in order to link this research with previous theory in the field of math reasoning, especially inductive reasoning and eye-tracking method to collect and analyse the data. This has served to shape the research design. The methodology chapter i…
