A relational research model was used to provide the quantitative research design. The prediction model proposed in this study was tested with 279 seventh-grade middle-school students. Data were collected using the 'Reflective thinking towards problem-solving scale', the 'Perceived self-regulation scale' and the 'Proportional reasoning skill test'. Correlation and mediation analyses were performed on the collected data. The results demonstrate that reflective thinking toward problem-solving is significantly related to self-regulation and proportional reasoning. The mediation analysis shows that seventh-grade students' reflective-thinking skills towards problem-solving partially mediate between their self-regulation levels and proportional-reasoning skills.Turkish Education Association2020Articlehttps://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/bayburt/13236https://doi.org/10.15390/eb.2020.84801300-1337enEgitim ve Biliminfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://bayburt-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/bayburt/13236
