As technology becomes increasingly prominent in modern mathematics education, there's a growing need to understand the essential knowledge mathematics teachers need to effectively integrate technology in algebra instructions. This study therefore enhances the current Knowledge of Algebra for Teaching (KAT) framework, which theorises teachers'…

Although research indicates that conditions for effective technology integration appear to be in place, teachers still face challenges in adapting their instruction to new technologies. As more technology is integrated, the added value for students will depend on how effectively a teacher integrates technology. Given that technology may not be…

Mathematics teacher educators are faced with designing teacher in-service professional development experiences for developing and transforming Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) towards integrating digital technologies as mathematics learning tools. Online environments provide opportunities to a broad range of teachers, yet, the…

Over 2 years a small group of middle school mathematics teachers' beliefs, attitudes, and practices were investigated in order to transform their practice to an inquiry-based, technology-rich model. Research has suggested that technology and pedagogical innovations should be introduced together, so that teachers learn mathematics in the way their…

This paper describes challenges encountered by two secondary mathematics teachers when they try to integrate ICT devices in their classes. These findings are based on using the Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) context, the four dimension framework developed by Niess: 1) overarching conceptions of integrating ICT, 2)…

This article draws from ethnographic data produced inside mathematics teacher education in Sweden. It explores and makes visible the ongoing process of education during workshops in information and communication technology (ICT) laboratory contexts in which student teachers were working with spreadsheet applications on the computer. The main…

In this paper I reviewed and analyzed three important constructs--beliefs, knowledge, and practices in mathematics teacher education. I carried out a literature review of teacher beliefs and practice, and beliefs and change in mathematics education in to order draw some pedagogical and research implications. I was able to draw three themes from…

The purpose of this mixed-methods study was to evaluate the efficacy of 14 Mathematics, Science and Technology Teacher Preparation (MSTTP) academies located across the state of Texas. The aim of the academies was to increase the number of highly qualified mathematics, science and technology teachers, while also improving the quality of certified…

This article examines how teachers decide which technologies to use in their classrooms and what they expect to gain from adopting technology. Observation, interviews, and document collection were used to collect data as a part of a research project in a Midwestern state. Subjects were 15 to 25 mathematics professionals participating in the…

For many years, education researchers excited by the potential for digital technologies to transform mathematics teaching and learning have predicted that these technologies would become rapidly integrated into every level of education. However, recent international research shows that technology still plays a marginal role in mathematics…
