Technology in Mathematics Education: Back to the future?
In this presentation, I seek to conduct a stocktake of the current use of technology in mathematics education, and engage in some crystal-ball gazing as to how it might be used in the future. First, I will briefly discuss the history of the use of digital technologies in mathematics education, focusing primarily on the period of growth from the mid-1990’s. I will next consider some of the theoretical perspectives that have emerged over that period, and using the framework developed by the presenter, and the model of Pedagogical Technology Knowledge (PTK) developed by Thomas and Hong (2013), I will attempt to describe the ‘current state of play’ for the effective integration of technology into the teaching and learning of mathematics. Then using this position and framework as a starting point, I will postulate what might be some significant challenges ahead for teachers and institutions in the continuing search for effective meaning-making in mathematics with technology.
