Kuiper, Els; de Pater-Sneep, Martie – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2014
Drill-and-practice mathematics software offers teachers a relatively simple way to use technology in the classroom. One of the reasons to use the software may be that it motivates children, working on the computer being more "fun" than doing regular school work. However, students' own perceptions of such software are seldom studied. This…
