| Abstract: | The article "Introduction to eye tracking in mathematics education: interpretation, potential, and challenges" from the journal "Educational Studies in Mathematics" provides an overview of eye tracking in mathematics education research. Eye tracking records individuals' gaze focus and has become increasingly popular due to advancements in technology. Researchers use eye tracking to infer cognitive processes, attention, and intentions without interrupting learning processes. The article discusses different theoretical perspectives on interpreting eye movements in mathematics education, highlighting the importance of understanding gaze data in research. Studies in the special issue explore how eye tracking can reveal students' problem-solving strategies, attention to mathematical representations, and modes of thinking. The article also addresses challenges and limitations of eye tracking research, emphasizing the need for multimodal approaches to understanding cognitive processes in mathematics education.
