Implementation of eye-tracking research to analyse the proces solving single-choice mathematical task

Abstract

The article will present a part of the research in which was used a device called an eye-tracker applied for tracing eyeball movoments of a tested person. At present modern measurement instruments enable broadening of the realm the empirical research in various fields of science. Rising availability of technologically advanced devices arouses interest a eye-tracking method in education also among Polish researchers. The application of the mentioned method seems to be particularly justified in the research on the process of solving mathematical tasks which require visual analysis of the data presented graphically. This study mainly aimed at the analysing visual attention during solving a mathematical single-choice task by of different mathematical experience.
