The purpose of the research is to analyze the effect of STEM applications on mathematics pre-service teachers' mathematical literacy self-efficacy, technological pedagogical knowledge and mathematical thinking skills and their views on STEM education. This research has been carried out by 29 mathematics pre-service teachers who are schoolers at the educational faculties of Mus Alparslan University. The research was completed in 10 weeks (3 hours per week) in spring semester of 2016-2017 academic year. Mixed research approach was used in the study. "Mathematical Literacy Self-Sufficiency Scale", "Mathematical Thinking Scale", "Technological Pedagogical Area Information Scale" and "STEM Interview Form for Mathematics Pre-service Teachers" were used as data collection instruments. The collected data were analyzed, and it was certain that the STEM applications positively affected the pre-service teachers' mathematics literacy self-efficacy and technological pedagogical content knowledge. However, STEM applications were not seemed to have a positive effect on mathematical thinking. Moreover, when the opinions of the pre-service teachers were examined, it was identified that the STEM applications changed positively the opinions of the pre-service teachers about the mathematical literacy, and that they lacked many subjects such as field knowledge and pedagogy knowledge about STEM education. Suggestions were made in the direction of the findings obtained. Key words: science, technology, engineering, mathematics education, mathematics pre-service teacher.

The relevance of the problem under consideration. The use of modern developments in the field of mobile digital technologies will intensify the process of teaching professional disciplines in the system of pedagogical education of future teachers of mathematics, which encourages the study of the specifics of using mobile applications in the training of future teachers of mathematics. The purpose of the study is to reveal the possibilities of introducing mobile applications in the process of teaching mathematical disciplines to future mathematics teachers. Research methods. Theoretical (analysis, systematization and generalization of pedagogical and psychological research, curricula for future teachers of mathematics) and empirical (pedagogical observation of the educational process, questionnaires) methods. Results of the research. By mobile learning we mean the process of creating a mobile educational environment with the use of mobile technologies for access to educational resources, implemented in face-to-face and distance forms. Active use of mobile educational applications leads to changes in the content of education, learning technology and in the relations between the participants of the educational process, allows to individualize learning, make it more adequate to the abilities of students. According to the survey results, the least attention in the study of mathematical disciplines is paid to applied mobile applications for mathematical calculations, but specialized programs and applications installed on mobile devices make them real assistants to teachers of mathematical disciplines and students of mathematical specialties. Our survey shows that the mobile application PhotoMath is the most popular among students when studying mathematical disciplines. We analyzed the possibilities of using the mobile application PhotoMath in the study of mathematical analysis by students of pedagogical universities.

We aim to examine the pre-service mathematics teachers' mathematical problem-solving processes by using dynamic geometry software and to determine their evaluations based on experiences in this process. The design is document analysis, one of the qualitative research approaches. In the fall semester of the 2019–2020 academic year, a three-problem task was carried out in a classroom environment where everyone could use geogebra individually. A total of 65 pre-service mathematics teachers enrolled in the course of educational technology. This task includes questions that they would use, their knowledge of basic geometric concepts to construct geometrical relations and evaluations related to this process. Besides the activity papers of the prospective teachers, geogebra files were also examined. The result is pre-service mathematics teachers who are thought to have a certain level of mathematical background are found to have incorrect/incomplete information even in the most basic geometric concepts and difficulties with regard to generalisation.

Abstract: The desire to equip students with 21st-century skills has prompted teachers to find alternative ways to promote real learning of mathematics. One of these ways includes building communities of best practices, with the collaborative efforts of parents. This study aims to investigate how mathematics teaching communities develop mathematical knowledge and skills in students. This study interviewed four teachers for insights into their teaching practices, specifically, how they built a learning community to foster the learning of mathematics. The findings showed that the teachers, working with parents, provided substantial support to develop students’ knowledge of mathematics and 21st-century skills, such as life skills. This study shows how mathematical knowledge and skills can be developed within a community with little access to advanced technology and how students can be supported to acquire life-long learning skills.

Full textAbstract:
This study examined students’ ability to learn mathematics in a self-directed teaching environment. One of the main goals of the educational system is to nurture independent learners who can grow up to be inquisitive, critical, creative, and capable of piloting their own learning. This implies making a change in the way the role of the mathematics teacher is perceived in that the teacher must now become a mentor who supports and mediates learning, enabling students to construct a knowledge base of rules and methods in mathematics and acquire and experience ways of thinking that enable them to construct this knowledge.This qualitative study is based on interviews with four ninth-grade mathematics teachers and on in-class observations of teaching styles and teacher-student interactions. Our findings show that applying self-directed learning methods in class based on a constructivist approach to teach mathematics is an important factor in developing students’ creativity and thinking. These findings suggest that developing this model of teaching should be recommended to teachers. Accordingly, this study also proposes a model for staff development programs that foster self-directed learning in mathematics. The model proposes that increasing teachers’ awareness of their teaching process and training them to prepare learners to cope effectively with unfamiliar mathematical problems are goals to include in teacher training. This model of teaching may have far-reaching effects in pedagogy, e.g.: reducing drop-out numbers, improving achievements, and improving social interactions.Key words: constructivist approach, fostering thinking, self-directed learning, teaching mathematics.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigated the processes used by prospective mathematics teachers as they examined middle-school students' work solving statistical problems using a computer software program. Students' work on the tasks was captured in a videocase used by prospective teachers enrolled in a mathematics education course focused on teaching secondary mathematics with technology. The researchers developed a model for characterizing prospective teachers' attention to students' work and actions and interpretations of students' mathematical thinking. The model facilitated the identification of four categories: describing, comparing, inferring, and restructuring. Ways in which the model may be used by other researchers and implications for the design of pedagogical tasks for prospective teachers are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the problem of improving the quality of the future teacher of mathematics by means of information technologies. There are two classes of software tools of mathematical direction such as 1) systems of computer mathematics which use traditional notation and methods of writing formulas (Maple, MatLab, Maxima, etc.), these systems are particularly effective in solving various applications, primarily mathematical modeling tasks in science and technology; 2) programs of dynamic mathematics which provide the possibility of dynamic changes of the original mathematical design, the study of the set of its numerical characteristics or their relations in dynamics (GeoGebra, Cabri, Mathkit, and the like). It is established that under the programs of dynamic mathematics it is necessary to understand the means of computer visualization of mathematical knowledge, which provide dynamic operation of various mathematical objects and the possibility of operative obtaining information about their properties. The term "computer mathematical tool" is specified as a virtual mechanism or algorithm of a computer program, or the program itself, which is used to create or study mathematical objects or their components through the numerical and geometric characteristics of the objects themselves. The methodical features of the use of computer mathematical tools have been distinguished: the possibility of dynamic changes in the drawing and observation of the trajectories of individual points opens the way for organizing the experimental and creative activity of all participants in the educational process; the ability to pre-install the tools or to expand the toolkit that simplifies the process of building or limiting tools; the computer frees the teacher from a debilitating check of the construction, and so on. The results of the experiment related to the study of the influence of the programs of dynamic mathematics on the level of academic students’ achievements have been presented. The positive influence of the use of dynamic mathematics programs and the corresponding mathematical tools on the level of mathematical preparation of schoolchildren has been proved. The necessity of preparing the future teacher of mathematics for using this tool in the process of professional activity has been indicated. The requirements of the standard of pedagogical education, the needs of school maths in the main school and the distribution of computer tools within the framework of training a modern mathematics teacher have been specified.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine beliefs of early childhood teachers about their readiness for teaching science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, with a focus on testing for heterogeneity of such beliefs and differential effects of teacher-related factors. The results from latent class analysis of survey data revealed two latent classes of teachers, not known a priori, with significant differences in levels of teachers’ beliefs about readiness to teach science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The teachers’ teaching experience and their awareness of the importance of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and potential challenges in teaching science, technology, engineering, and mathematics played a differential role in the classification of teachers into latent classes. In addition, the analysis of two open-ended survey questions revealed several themes in the early childhood teachers’ opinions about early childhood science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education. Study findings support the necessity for professional development practices that will enhance teachers’ understanding of the importance of early childhood science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education, as well as their knowledge of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines and potential challenges of teaching science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

In July 1988, six small groups of teachers, from Bury, Essex, East Sussex, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Suffolk, met together to launch the Graphic Calculators in Mathematics project, sponsored by the National Council for Educational Technology. Each group was locally coordinated by an adviser or advisory teacher, while I was on 0.2 secondment to act as national coordinator of the project. Over the following two years, the project teachers worked with classes of students who had permanent access to graphic calculators throughout their advanced-level mathematics courses. Rather than following any prescribed programme of calculator activities, the teachers were free to plan the work of their classes within the normal syllabus constraints, meeting together from time to time to exchange ideas and review progress. In this article, I want to draw on experience from this project to discuss two major issues that new technology raises for advanced-level mathematics.

Full textAbstract:
Peculiarities of innovative teaching instruments application during the professional training of future mathematics teachers of secondary education institutions are considered in the article. The authors assume that an education of a student of a higher educational institution is significantly different from their education at an educational institution of a lower level by the fact that during a very short period of time it is necessary to master effectively a very large amount of information, gain a lot of corresponding skills. The fact is determinant for choosing appropriate innovative teaching instruments and specific forms of their implementation in institutions of higher education in general and in institutions of higher pedagogical education in particular. Vocational subjects for future teachers of mathematics can be divided into three groups: pedagogy and psychology, courses of mathematics in institutions of secondary education and methods of their teaching, mathematical disciplines of higher mathematical education. Only the training courses of the last two groups are considered. The general characteristic of their current state is given. The comparative analysis of the modern methodological concept of training courses packages formation in higher mathematics for future mathematics teachers of institutions of secondary education and the corresponding methodological concept of the 70-80s of the last century was represented. The necessity of thorough systematic work of every teacher of higher mathematics on the formation of the students' perception of the necessity of a precise substantiation of all statements to be proved is highlighted, that is, on the perception of the necessity of full argumentation in all cases, on the formation of appropriate skills. Fundamentally important directions for such a work are outlined. Problem-oriented training is defined to be the most appropriate innovative technology for the third-level educational disciplines, based on own experience, examples of such training methods for different types of training sessions and control measures are provided. The authors’ understanding of practice-oriented training is formulated. Changing of fundamental nature in curriculum of future teachers of mathematics are proposed after careful argumentation. According to the authors’ point of view such changes can ensure the sufficient level of practice-oriented training. Directions of further research are outlined.

Overweight and obesity prevalence in children has increased worldwide. One of the stated reasons for this rise is the increase in portion sizes, perhaps due to individuals having difficulties with portion size estimation. Portion size estimation could be improved with portion size education involving the mathematical concepts of volume and capacity. The current study aims to explore mathematical teaching practices focussing on volume and capacity measurement in Australian primary schools. A convenience sample of 101 teachers completed an online survey reporting information on their teaching background, experience, use of resources, digital games and curricular integration. We found that teachers tend to use Smartboards and cubes to teach volume and capacity, and that the majority use nutrition-related examples such as household measures, recipes and grocery shopping. Teachers also expressed having positive beliefs and interest in using digital games for these concepts. Although mathematics is most commonly integrated with science and technology, teachers believe a digital game integrating nutrition and mathematics could be very useful. Research on the development and implementation of an educational resource to combine these subjects using technology is needed.

The growing use of technology for mathematics in higher education opens new pedagogical and technological challenges for teachers. The objective of this study was to analyze the teaching approaches and technology-related pedagogical competencies of 29 mathematics teachers (15 females and 14 males) from nine European countries. After conducting semi-structured interviews, the Approaches to Teaching Inventory (ATI-16) and the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework survey were applied. The results show large individual variations in teaching approaches, technological competencies, and institutional support. One-third of teachers apply a more student-centered approach, one-third a more teacher-centered approach, and one-third a mixed approach. Educating and supporting teachers in embracing educational technologies thus needs to be tailored strongly to individual needs and the available institutional support resources and infrastructure.

Teacher education institutions play a strategic role in preparing prospective mathematics teachers with 21st-century skills to teach mathematics in schools. This study aimed to explore how mathematics lectures employing robotics in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education approach can contribute to the preparation of prospective mathematics teachers with 21st-century skills to teach mathematics in schools. The research was conducted through a project called the RoboSTE[M] Project, in three stages: pre-development, development, and field experiment. The project was run to encourage prospective mathematics teachers to arrange mathematical activities for mathematics learning with a STEM education approach using robotics. The findings indicated that the model, lab and online modules developed and implemented in this project succeeded in supporting the ability of prospective mathematics teachers to design a mathematics learning environment with a STEM-influenced robotics approach that has the potential to support students’ 21st-century skills. This study has contributed to answer the problem regarding how to provide cross-curricular activities for STEM education by implementing STEM in an integrated manner in schools, including lack of training for teachers, which will translate STEM in the lesson plans. This research shows that teacher education programmes can provide adequate training for pre-service teachers in practising STEM education in mathematics classroom. This study fills in the gaps by focusing on designing a lecture model with a “STEM Robotics” approach for prospective mathematics teachers and their students and to explore its potential to promote prospective mathematics teachers’ 21st-century skills.

Today, mathematical sciences play a special role in the life of society, because they serve the development of scientific, technological and technological progress, determine the prestige of the country on the world stage. In this context, it is important to continuously prepare future teachers of mathematics for further professional activities, which in accordance with the current needs of the individual, society, state, allows to create conditions for self-expression, self-realization and self-improvement.
The article is devoted to the issue of modeling the continuous professional training of mathematics teachers using ICT.
The research goal is to analyze modern models of future teacher training for the use of innovative tools and methods in their pedagogical activities, to present a structurally component model of continuous professional training of a future mathematics teacher using ICT. The following research methods were used: analysis of psychological and pedagogical literature on the research problem; synthesis and comparison; theoretical modeling.
The results. The main components of the structural model of continuous professional training of future mathematics teachers with the use of information and communication technologies are described. The main features of the new model of student training are identified: focusing on the need for lifelong learning; transformation of the bachelor's degree into the core of the educational system; providing students with a broad aspect of systematically updated master's programs, programs of professional and general cultural training and retraining; in the system of continuing education the key factor is the independent access of students to educational resources and innovative technologies of self-education; quality management of education based on a point-rating system to assess the level of students' mastery of academic disciplines. The directions of increase of efficiency of this process and ways of realization in practice of higher educational institutions of a pedagogical profile are allocated.
Conclusions. It is proved that the semantic component of modeling the continuous professional training of a future mathematics teacher with the use of ICT forms one of the main tasks of teaching mathematics - to establish a connection between a particular course and the relevant school subject. The integration of theoretical and practical training of future mathematics teachers in the system of continuing education contributes to the activation of students' cognitive activity, forming a holistic view of the future profession, creating optimal conditions for gaining solid knowledge and skills at work. The criterion-diagnostic component of the model provides for linear consistency between the monitoring of professional readiness, criteria and levels of its formation.
The model of forming the readiness of future mathematics teachers using ICT for professional activities in the system of continuous training helps to consider the structural elements and stages of preparation of future mathematics teachers for professional activities, the relationship between elements, design content, forms and methods of such training.

Helping junior high school students to use calculators and computers for problem solving and investigating real-life situations is an objective of the junior high school mathematics curriculum in Ghana. Ironically, there is a technological drought in junior high school mathematics instruction in Ghana, with a suspicion that mathematics teachers’ competency in the use of calculators for teaching may be the source of this lack of use. This study sought to establish a correlation between junior high school mathematics teachers’ competence and the motivation supporting the use of calculators in teaching. A descriptive survey comprising of a test and questionnaire was used to collect data from junior high school mathematics teachers in an educational district in Ghana. Teacher characteristics such as educational attainment, age, and gender in relation to teachers’ competency in the use of calculators were discussed in the study. The results showed that about 70% of the teachers exhibited a low level of calculator competence. Besides, novice teachers outperformed expert teachers in the calculator competency-based test. Additionally, mathematics teachers’ enthusiasm for using calculators in teaching was directly associated with the teachers’ level of competency. The findings may send a signal to stakeholders in their efforts to revising the Ghana JHS curriculum in order to actualize the curriculum desire for the integration of technology in the teaching and learning of JHS mathematics.

This research attempts to describe the identity development of students/teachers who used a virtual social network –Facebook to work with historical mathematics and mathematicians in the frame of a second degree course. Fifteen participants aged from 24 to 53 years old participated in the course in which they were required to attend mathematical Facebook sites involved with math history. The research findings arrived at using the grounded theory approach indicate that working with historical mathematicians and talking and discussing their work in virtual social networks, students/ teachers developed their identity in four aspects: (1) the educational aspect, (2) the cultural aspect, (3) the personality aspect, and (4) the ethnic aspect. These identity aspects were developed due to the different conditions of the learning environment, together with the actions/ interactions of the participants. Specifically, working with the history of mathematics in virtual social networks made the participants aware of (1) the advantages of integrating technology in learning and teaching, (2) the advantages of integrating history in the learning and teaching of mathematics and science, and (3) the possibility to move their culture to one that is involved more in science and mathematics. In addition, working with the history of mathematics in virtual social networks made the participants proud of their heritage and as a result they increased their self esteem.

Introduction. The task of every Mathemat- ics teacher is to get interested the pupils in Mathematics, to show its beauty, and to help in liking it. One of the means for raising pupils’ motivation and interest in learning Mathematics as a science is a well-organized teaching process, which includes new interesting methods and technologies. Nowadays implementation of the computer technologies in the teaching process is an inseparable part of learning Mathematics. By means of them teachers will be able not only to efficiently present educational material, but also to show the pupils various possibilities of Mathematics. The purpose is to prove the necessity of using information-communication technologies (ICT), namely Google services at the Mathematics lessons; to discover the influ- ence of ICT on the pupils’ creative development, their attention and cognitive activity; to define the teaching recommendations concerning application of ICT in learning Mathematics. Methods. Empirical and theoretical methods were used. Results. At present the efficiency of ICT usage at the Mathematics lessons also depends on using various Internet resources, in particular online services. The developed mathematical site is an opportunity to involve pupils and teachers to interactive cooperation. Under the conditions of the distance learning it is rather useful for raising motivation to learning Mathematics and improving the conditions of the pupils’ independent studying as well as a teacher’s control over this activity. Originality. The article deals with the peculiarities of ICT usage on the basis of the Google services in teaching Mathematics. It discovers the efficiency of ICT usage at the Mathematics lessons at school and their influence on the pupils’ formation of skills and abilities to correctly use Google services while studying Mathematics. The author also describes the ways and particular methods for using the technologies at the Mathematics lessons. Conclusion. In general, information-communication technologies in teaching Mathematics, namely Google services, are a useful and productive teaching technology due to interactivity, flexibility and integration of various types of multimedia educational information and also due to the possibility to take into account the pupils’ individual peculiarities. Usage of ICT while teaching Mathematics forms the higher level of the pupils’ self-educational skills and abilities, analysis and structuring of the obtained information. Meanwhile the new teaching means allow to naturally combine the information-communication technologies and personal-orientation technologies with the methods of creative and searching activity. Due to this technology it is possible to move the teaching of Mathematics to the higher level.

Teaching mathematics to diverse learners can be a challenge. The extensive and specialized knowledge that special education teachers need to possess to be considered high-quality teachers is often lacking in preservice and inservice education, yet is mandated by current teacher reforms and rigorous measures of accountability. To provide direction for supporting teacher growth in these areas, this article highlights four knowledge bases that special education teachers should develop and expand upon as a way to improve their instruction for diverse learners in mathematics. Numerous resources and materials are provided to support the development of teacher expertise in content, characteristics of diverse learners, technology, and pedagogy.

Full textAbstract:
The development of school teaching systems to enable effective adaptive communication of information requires specific pedagogical solutions to several important theoretical and methodological problems .These include 1) the discernment of basic characteristics needed to diagnose and improve the quality of subject preparation for schoolchildren, 2) clarifying the role of the teacher in the structure of adaptive learning process, and 3) finding ways to integrate adaptive content into the framework of courses on mathematics. The purpose of our study was to determine theoretical and methodological foundations of teaching mathematics to schoolchildren taking into account their level of ability with the consequent development of appropriate adaptive content. The basic characteristics that underpin the concept of adaptive learning which contributes to both individual profiles of student ability to learn and subsequent success outcomes are: proficiency, motivation to learn and level of mathematical knowledge. The evaluation of individual profile structure of schoolchildren determines the choice of methodologies for presentation of adaptive content in ways allowing development and motivation. The system of educational process management developed in this way includes both content-methodical and procedural-technological components. This makes it possible to automatically evaluate the level of each students' mathematical training (knowledge, motivation, development) and to ensure continuous improvement. This system can also be used by secondary teachers of mathematics as a part of extracurricular activities, or as a distance learning support. In addition, the recommendations for structuring multi-level problem material can be used by mathematics teachers to self-construct adaptive sets tasks at various stages of teaching mathematics. As a result, students have the opportunity to improve their own profile of learning success, particularly by solving a chain of tasks.

PurposeThis study aims to highlight the perspectives of one black male middle-school mathematics teacher, Chris Andrews, about developing black students’ positive mathematics identities during his first year of teaching middle-school mathematics in a predominately black school. The author’s and Chris Andrews’ shared experiences as black Americans opened the door to candid conversations regarding the racialized mathematical experiences of “our” children, as he referred to them during the interviews.Design/methodology/approachThe author used case study methodology (Yin, 2009) to illuminate Chris’s salient academic and personal experiences, approaches to teaching mathematics and ways that he attended to mathematics identity in practice. The author used sociopolitical and intersectional theoretical framings to interpret the data.FindingsChris’s perspective on teaching mathematics and developing mathematics identity aligned with taking a sociopolitical stance for teaching and learning mathematics. He understood how oppression influenced his black students’ opportunities to learn. Chris believed teaching mathematics to black children was his moral and communal responsibility. However, Chris’s case is one of tensions, as he often espoused deficit perspectives about his students’ lack of motivation and mathematical achievement. Chris’s case illustrates that even when black teachers and black students share cultural referents; black teachers are not immune to the pervasive deficit-oriented theories regarding black students’ mathematics achievement.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings of this work warrant the need to take intersectional approaches to understanding the ways of knowing that black male teachers bring to their practice, as Chris’s identity as a black person was an interplay between his black identity and other salient identities related to ability and social class.Practical implicationsChris, even while navigating deficit-oriented perceptions of his students, provides an example of bringing a sociopolitical consciousness to teaching mathematics and to support novice black male teachers in their content, pedagogical, and dispositional development.Originality/valueThis work adds to the limited body of literature that highlights the experiences of black teachers in a subject-specific context, particularly in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subject areas that have historically marginalized the participation of black people.

One of the most significant events of the 21st century is the birth of modern technologies, specifically the development of electronic digital computers. Much more with the emergence of the new normal education, this technology's impact on science and business is very rampant. It is already affecting the educational enterprise in significant ways. Thus, the researcher conducted a study on teachers’ attitudes toward using technology in mathematics teaching the COVID-19 pandemic. The researcher used the descriptive methodology utilizing the adopted Mathematics and Technology Attitude Scale administered to the randomly selected participants to address this problem. The study results show that the attitudes of the mathematics teachers toward using technology in terms of behavioral engagement and confidence with technology are positive while strongly positive in terms of affective engagement. Results also indicate that male and female teachers differ significantly in their attitudes toward using technology in mathematics teaching. Males exhibit better attitudes than females. Along this line, it can be deduced that the use of technology in mathematics teaching bears relevance and significance to the mathematics teachers because they develop positive attitudes toward it. The study suggests that the Department of Education should undertake programs to enhance mathematics teachers' competencies and attitudes in using technology, considering the new modality of learning. Likewise, it is suggested that mathematics teachers should develop and strengthen a positive attitude towards learning and teaching with technology.

Hollywood has produced many super heroes such as Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. Recently it released a film titled 'Waiting for Superman' which shows a young boy imprisoned within a system and classroom that does not stimulate his learning while actively destroying his motivation and engagement with the educational process. The film implied the task of fixing the problem was so great that only Superman could fix it. So what are the criteria for a super hero? Firstly it is someone with extraordinary powers beyond those of most mortals. In this paper I will propose that most mathematics teachers meet the criteria and are super heroes who combat the spread of darkness and ignorance of mathematics. I will present evidence to prove that most mild mannered mathematics teachers are really super heroes in disguise. Mathematics teachers have super powers. They have the power to understand and value mathematics, something that is beyond the vast majority of the population. What is the basis of their power? It is their mathematics pedagogical and content knowledge. Not only can they do mathematics, but they can construct a learning environment where their students develop conceptual knowledge and deep learning. They use the latest developments in technology to assist their battle with the forces of darkness and innumeracy. While more mathematics has been invented in the last 50 years than in the preceding years of human development, teachers are expected to keep abreast of this new knowledge. Hollywood may be waiting for Superman, but the real super heroes are every day engaged in the battle to reveal to their students the power and the beauty of mathematics that can transform their lives.

The ‘technology integrated assessment process’ is an innovative method to capture and determine students’ understanding of mathematics. This assessment process is claimed to provide a singular dynamism for teaching and learning activities and it is also claimed to be of the most important elements of instruction in the educational system. In this sense, this study aims to investigate technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) of prospective mathematics teachers regarding the ‘evaluation’ and ‘assessment’ process. To achieve this aim, the method of qualitative research was conducted with 20 teachers. Video records and lesson plans were collected and a Mathematics Teacher TPACK Development Model was utilized to reveal themes and key features of the data. The findings revealed that, although the majority of teachers stated that they would like to use technology-integrated tools in the assessment and evaluation processes, they strongly preferred to use traditional assessment and evaluation techniques, such as pen and paper activities, multiple-choice questions in virtual environments, etc. Hence, the evidence suggests that teachers would be unable to use appropriately the technological assessment process in order to reveal students’ understanding of mathematics. As seen from the teachers’ lectures, they perceived that technology would be suitable for evaluation and assessment but in a limited way. Keywords: Technological pedagogical content knowledge, prospective mathematics teachers

A central tenet of mathematics education reform is the integral role of technology at all grade levels. The current technological changes combined with the changes in the mathematics content and instructional method require elementary mathematics teachers to be able to design technology intensive lessons for exploration and discovery of these concepts through appropriate computer applications. In actual practice, however, most computer applications provided for mathematics education consist of software designed for a specific educational purpose: the solution in a can scenario. Furthermore, economic constraints often stand in the way of incorporating such special purpose software into an instructional setting. In this paper we will discuss an alternative to this traditional approach which shifts the instructional focus specific computer applications to more sophisticated uses of general purpose software. In particular educational uses of spreadsheets will be developed as an exemplar for this approach.

The implementation of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (National Governors Association Center for Best Practices & Council of Chief State School Officers, 2010) has the potential to move forward key features of standards-based reforms in mathematics that have been promoted in the United States for more than 2 decades (e.g., National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 1989, 2000; National Science Foundation, 1996). We believe that this is an especially opportune time to purposely focus on improving the mathematics education of students who have historically been denied access to a high-quality and rigorous mathematics education in the United States, specifically low-income students and students of color (e.g., Kitchen, DePree, Celedón-Pattichis, & Brinkerhoff, 2007; Leonard & Martin, 2013). We discuss a challenge to realizing standards-based reforms in mathematics in the United States: computer-based interventions in mathematics classrooms.

This study explored the strategies used by 13 prospective secondary school mathematics teachers to develop and validate functions as mathematical models of real-world situations. The students, enrolled in an elective mathematics course, had continuous access to curve fitters, graphing utilities, and other computing tools. The modeling approaches fell under 4 general categories of technology use, distinguished by the extent and nature of curve-fitter use and the relative dominance of mathematics versus reality affecting the development and evaluation of models. Data suggested that strategy choice was influenced by task characteristics and interactions with other student modelers. A grounded hypothesis on strategy selection and use was formulated.

The article presents the features of the organization and conduct of the Olympiad work in mathematics based on the network interaction of various educational organizations. The network interaction of educational organizations in the article is considered as a complex mechanism for centralizing educational resources, contributing to the active involvement of several educational organizations at once in a single educational process, overcoming the considerable territorial remoteness of various educational organizations. There are small educational organizations that have limited material, technical, methodological and human resources for organizing and conducting, on the basis of creating a unified information and educational environment, various events, in particular Olympiads. Each educational organization included in a single network has access to all its aggregate resources and thereby increases its own teaching and educational potential, and students receive a wide range of educational services, due to which each of them can build their own individual educational route. The article also discusses the main directions of organizing and holding the Olympiad in mathematics based on the network interaction of educational organizations of different levels using TRIZ pedagogy (theory of inventive problem solving), LEGO pedagogy (development and formation of the student's personality based on design technology, or modeling). As the main tasks of organizing mathematics olympiads based on the technology of network interaction of educational organizations, the article discusses: increasing students' interest in mathematical disciplines, the formation of creative thinking, the development of the ability to solve non-standard problems, the dissemination of experience in using innovative models of organizing and holding mathematics olympiads. popularization of the Olympiad work among students and teachers of educational organizations of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania.

Stepping into the new millennium, many societies around the world are engaging in serious and promising educational reforms. A holistic framework in the form of a comprehensive process of fostering higher order thinking skills (HOTS) in mathematics teaching and learning is needed to guide teachers in implementation suitable activities in the classroom. Therefore, this research is intended to develop a Guiding Principles of Fostering Higher Order Thinking Skills (GP-HOTS) in teaching and learning of mathematics for secondary school students. The sample of the study was 266 secondary mathematics teachers that were chosen using multilevel cluster sampling technique. An instrument namely the Fostering HOTS Questionnaire related to principles of fostering HOTS in teaching and learning of mathematics was used in this study. Data analyses involved the computation of face, content, reliability indices and validation of themes and items using factor analysis. The results showed that there are six principles of how teachers can foster HOTS in teaching and learning of mathematics namely practice of implementing assessment for learning optimally, practice of determining HOTS learning outcomes, practice of HOTS questioning strategies, practice of integrating Information, Communication and Technology, practice of active learning, and practice of developing habits of mind. These principles have satisfied level of content validity indices as well as revealed an excellent acceptable level of reliability index. The implication is that the developed GP-HOTS in this study can be used in enhancing teachers’ mathematical knowledge for teaching, hence creating futuristic minded students

This study has developed a digital mathematics handbook that helps students to strengthen their mathematical skills at the elementary level of education. A survey of mathematics teachers collected data. In developing an integration manual on technology based on a survey of the state of technological integration in schools, it employed a research and development (RD) approach. A number of 24 teachers participated in the material creation. The multimedia materials produced during the trial were developed and used. Participants consisted of primary learning children. Results have shown that the trainers' preferred theory is undergraduate, and most of them have a poor capacity to integrate creativity into a research analysis. In the presentation of the under-graduates in mathematics the material produced was extremely good.

The Mathematics programs in elementary and middle schools are unchanged in the past fifty years. The content itself needs to be updated; teachers need to experience inservice programs for incorporating computers, models, and calculators into their classrooms. This article summarizes the work done in two projects funded by NSF.* The first revised the K-6 mathematics curriculum and also revised the computer “literacy” program. The second project was an institute for forty middle school teachers to incorporate computers, calculators, and models into their classroom teaching. The entire institute (sixty hours) was videotaped and every attendee was given an edited two hour version to use when they in turn conduct inservice programs in their districts.

Previous research suggests that access to technology contributes to the implementation of mathematics education reform. This case study of three primary (grade 1–3) teachers investigated how access to computers and math teaching software influenced nine dimensions of reform. Teachers were selected on the basis of their commitment to math reform and their technological literacy. Interviews and observations over five months found that technology had its greatest impact by helping teachers expand the scope of their programs and by promoting positive attitudes toward math. Teachers adapted computer tasks to fit their off-line activities, heightening or depleting the contribution of technology to reform. The computer promoted equity of access to all forms and strands of mathematics but this did not necessarily ensure that all students had access to higher math. None of the teachers realized the potential of the computer to increase student-student construction of mathematical ideas, in part because of hardware problems but more because of their decision to assign students to individual computer tasks.

According to worldwide surveys (such as PISA and TIMSS), European students often lack both mathematical and key basic competencies in science and technology. The mean scores for mathematics obtained by students are below the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development average (OECD). The learning of the mathematics literacy enables students to contribute effectively in actual society, enhancing their employment prospects. This paper intends to describe an innovative learning and teaching approach, actually in the development phase, in the field of mathematics for 14-16 years old students through the combination of current approaches used in Europe (such as inquiry based learning and technology-enhanced learning) and the Asian one, the Singapore’s method based on three phases, concrete-pictorial-abstract, through the use of artworks. This intends to allow the development of a more effective educational and training environment for teachers and their students who will benefit from the use of more attractive and fun pedagogical tools in the study of mathematics.

Mathematics teachers’ pedagogy (MTP) is an integral part of classroom instructional mediation through technology or manipulatives. This article describes a logical literature analysis for the MTP and technology with GeoGebra (GG). The findings reveal the intervention impact of MTP with GG and other technologies such as matrix laboratory (MATLAB); an interactive whiteboard (IWB) and computer algebra system (CAS); wxMaxima, which is a CAS; information and communication technologies (ICT); concrete materials as well as other resources in developing students’ performances in mathematics which were generally effective too. The systematic literature review (SLR) explored findings from current research between January 2011 and October 2020. Quality assessment screening of the papers was done and alongside further elimination of repeated documents from the analysis, twenty-eight publications met the refinement and inclusion/exclusion criteria out of 110 papers. The modified preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) outline exemplifies the literature review accordingly. The authors observed, accomplished, and discussed the significance of the SLR. This was followed by the constraints, upcoming directions for MTP with technology and GG, and the MTP consequences for education and research.

In this study, the opinions of middle school science teachers and mathematics teachers towards STEM education were examined. The research was carried out for 30 hours with 28 middle school science and mathematics teachers who were working in Istanbul during the spring semester of 2016-2017 academic year. 75% of these teachers are female teachers and 25% are male teachers. The study was conducted by the case study method among qualitative research methods. For the determination of the opinions of the secondary school science and mathematics teachers by the researcher, "STEM Interview Form for Teachers" consisting of 8 questions was created. As a result of the analysis, the teachers emphasized that they did not feel sufficient about STEM education. In addition, teachers emphasized that a good STEM teacher should have STEM knowledge, pedagogy knowledge and 21st century skill knowledge. However, they emphasize that STEM education is a useful educational concept but that there may be problems that may be encountered during STEM education. Moreover, it was also found that after the STEM training, teachers had positive changes in their opinions towards Engineering and Technology. Suggestions have been made in the direction of these obtained results.

<p class="0abstract">In 2019, the mobile learning body of knowledge is extensive and much is known about the technology impacts and affordances of mobile devices in educational settings. A particular focus has now shifted toward specific technologies in specific subjects. Mathematics is one such subject and tablets are one such technology that is gaining attention. This systematic review representing the latest generation of tablet technology within the tablet-mediated learning in mathematics body of knowledge sought to derive evidence that supported questions into (a) what math sub-disciplines were covered, (b) what technology (application/hardware) was utilized, and (c) what pedagogical approaches were deployed in educational settings. This included analysis of the (d) advantages and (e) disadvantages present in those elements. Thirty-nine relevant articles were collected from various academic technology and educational databases. The results demonstrate that tablets are being predominantly deployed in various sub-disciplines such as Arithmetic, Computation, and Geometry with the iPad as the dominant choice for tablet hardware/applications. Pedagogical approaches lean heavily on game-based learning, environment interaction, and special needs support. Technological advantages include increased collaboration and mathematics engagement enabled by tablet mobility and a high potential for customization of solutions. Developers, teachers, and researchers need to be informed of potential challenges in designing content for tablet technology deployments in mathematics.</p>

Full textAbstract:
The article actualizes the issue of updating the content, methods and means of teaching mathematics at the university within the sociocultural paradigm. A significant contradiction characterizing the crisis situation in the field of higher mathematical education is the mismatch between the traditional organization of the educational process and the powerful developing potential of mathematical disciplines. Being overloaded with a lot of information, altogether with its insufficiently developed anthropological, cultural-like and communicative components, mathematical education hinders the mental development of the learner’s personality in relation to such important qualities as search activity, creativity, and creative thinking. The solution to this problem can be the transformation of the cognitive-information model of learning, the introduction of pedagogical technologies that actualize the sociocultural aspect of mathematical education. The aim of the study is to develop methodological foundations for the implementation of the value-semantic orientation of teaching mathematics at the university, expressed in providing a set of pedagogical conditions related to the selection of content, determination of teaching aids and methods, ways of organizing the interaction of students and a teacher, in which students intelligently master mathematical concepts, and freely operate with them. The didactic conditions for the implementation of the value-semantic orientation of teaching mathematics at the university are: the transformation of mathematical content, expressed in learning from sociocultural experience; the psychodidactic approach, focused on building the students’ self-motivation; the use of teaching methods that provide cognitive and emotional empathy (educational mathematical discourse), the activization of productive mental activity (technology of problematic dialogue); inclusion of non-standard, creative tasks, training cases. Providing these conditions will allow to realize the humanitarian potential of mathematics, to reveal the social, practical and personal significance of the subject matter.
