Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, Paper presented at the Annual Conference of the Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia (MERGA) (45th, Newcastle, Australia, Jul 2-6, 2023)
This qualitative study investigates remote Australian primary school parents' attitudes towards their children's learning of mathematics and the role of technology. Using semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis, results revealed that parents aimed to provide the best mathematics learning opportunities for their children, yet they felt obsolete and isolated from their children's learning. Additionally, they valued the role of technology, but did not think school was providing adequate digital literacy skills. Discussion about what changes to the educational community are suggested to support parents in their children's learning.
