This paper seeks to answer the question: How does the handling of the contradictions that emerge in activities of initial mathematics teacher education contribute to the learning of geometric knowledge when pre-service teachers and the teacher educator solve geometric construction problems with GeoGebra? A dialectical-materialist approach is used…

This article is based on research in which the three authors participated. The main objective is to identify, describe and analyze the practices of using digital tools and platforms for teaching mathematics in lower secondary education. Framed within a set of ICT policies promoted since 2007 by Plan CEIBAL in Uruguay, a mixed study was conducted,…

The research investigated the "Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge" (TPACK) of pre-service mathematics teachers and its impact on their sustained intention to utilize GeoGebra in teaching mathematics. This study introduced a novel research model by extending the "Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology"…

This article describes an instructional sequence used with inservice secondary mathematics teachers as part of a graduate course. The instructional sequence focused on designing tasks using Interactive Geometry Software (IGS). This study answers a call for replication studies to investigate the use of an established instructional sequence. Results…

This study aimed to reveal the views of prospective mathematics teachers on the use of the Tinkercad program. This case study, utilizing a qualitative research method, was conducted with 18 prospective mathematics teachers currently enrolled in a fourth grade education program at a state university in a province in western Turkey. The convenience…

One of the aims of the present study was to reveal and compare the performance of ChatGPT versions (GPT-4o, GPT-4, and GPT-3.5), MathGPT, and Gemini in solving 390 mathematical problems in interactive mathematics e-textbooks across various dimensions. The other aim was to identify the affordances and constraints of ChatGPT through the instrumental…

Teacher noticing has become increasingly acknowledged as a fundamental aspect of teacher professional competence. Teacher education scholars have examined how the development of noticing might be supported both in initial teacher education and in professional development. In mathematics teacher education, several studies have explored the use of…

This paper presents the results of an exploratory case study that examined a veteran secondary teacher's knowledge for teaching non-routine mathematical problem-solving with digital technologies. Data was collected through the observation of a veteran mathematics teacher, in real time, solving a mathematical problem with the digital tools of his…

Prisms VR, a secondary math learning application, allows for users to see, manipulate, and engage with mathematical concepts in an embodied way in Virtual Reality (VR) environment. We examine cases in which mathematics teachers and middle school students worked through Prisms and reflected upon their experiences. Findings indicate that VR…

There is a large amount of research that indicates that the use of 3DMP in STEM education improves students' knowledge, motivation, and participation in the learning process. Nevertheless, despite the existing attempts to market 3DMP in education, its adoption in schools remains low. A number of studies with teachers in secondary schools and…

The transformative impact of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) on educational environments has led higher education institutions to make radical changes in their curricula and teaching approaches. By integrating GenAI technologies into the educational process, students will be able to have rich learning experiences. However, students'…

In this research we investigate how mathematics teachers, as graduate students, estimate the value of [pi] by exploring the problem of "squaring the circle" using digital technology. Initially, we mention some aspects of teaching and learning of calculus in the literature, emphasizing studies that use the notion of humans-with-media to…

Researchers point at the need to study the creative processes of students in problem solving, as these may indicate how to encourage creative problem solving. The present research attempts to study, based on the heuristic framework of Polya, pre-service teachers' flexibility processes when they solve a mathematical problem with technology. The…

As teachers plan for instruction, technology integration is an important factor in the planning and implementation process. This has become imperative in a virtual learning environment for instructors to be competent (Gregory & Lodge, 2015). Problems exist with integrating technology that aligns with teaching and learning in content areas.…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming traditional learning landscapes. This Spotlight will empower you with steps educators can take to be prepared for teaching in an AI-powered world; tips for using AI to plan lessons, email parents, and help struggling students; insights on principles to consider when crafting AI guidance; a guide to the…
