Aylin Thomaneck

Mathematics Education for Secondary Level

Research areas,

  • Students’ approaches when interpreting functional contexts, in particular contextual graphs
  • Capturing cognitive processes and strategies with eye-tracking technology

Since October 2019, Aylin Thomaneck is a Ph.D. student at the University of Bremen. Her research interest is to understand cognitive processes when capturing functional contexts with eye tracking. In particular, she is interested in the inferences that eye movements allow about students’ processes involved in capturing functional contexts and in what approaches students use in different processes of interpreting contextual graphs.
