Abstract

Recent empirical research on mathematical creativity using eye-tracking (ET) technology has faced challenges in developing comprehensive overviews due to the diversity of tools, task types, ET metrics, and identification methods. Thus, this systematic review attempts to examine studies that focus on mathematical creativity and incorporate ET technology. Guided by Newman and Gough’s seven-step approach, a Scopus database search covering publications up to 2024 identified five eligible empirical studies collected for this study. The review reveals that researchers employed two primary types of eye trackers: screen-based trackers, which are affordable and unobtrusive, and eye-tracking glasses, which enable participants to engage in paper-and-pencil tasks while moving naturally. To stimulate creative thinking, the studies utilized open-ended mathematical tasks—particularly geometry-based multiple solution tasks (MST) and visual modeling tasks—that encourage divergent exploration. In analyzing creative processes, researchers combined ET metrics such as fixation duration, fixation count, and scan paths with gaze-overlaid videos, offering complementary insights into visual attention patterns and idea development. Additionally, several studies integrated ET with stimulated recall interviews (SRI), allowing participants to reflect on their strategies and deepening the interpretation of cognitive processes. This methodological combination effectively captures both visual behaviors and participants’ reflections, highlighting the complexity of creative thinking in mathematics and offering guidance for future research and instructional practice.

Abstract

This study aims to identify trends, domains, and research topics of eye-tracking methodology in mathematics education published in Scopus-indexed journals. A systematic mapping study with bibliometric was employed to investigate the field. The analysis identified 119 eye-tracking studies in mathematics education published between 2013 and 2023, reflecting fluctuating publication trends. In this period, 333 authors, 78 sources, 156 organizations, and 38 countries contributed to the field. Schindler authored the most documents, while Germany and the United States recorded the highest output. The most cited work was by Cortina et al., and the International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education was the most frequently cited journal. Collaborations analysis identified Brockmole and Hannula as the most collaborative authors, and the University of Helsinki as the most active institution. Topic and domain analysis showed that the studies primarily focused on numbers and arithmetic, problem-solving, reasoning, individual differences, mathematical anxiety, creativity, mathematical representation, multimedia in learning, embodied cognition, mathematics learning, learning difficulties, geometry, and preschool mathematics. The findings suggest that several mathematical domains remain underexplored, offering opportunities for further eye-tracking research in mathematics education.
