Topic Study Group 18: Analysis of uses of technology in the teaching of mathematics
Scope and purpose
This topic study group of ICME 12 aims to provide a forum to discuss the current state of art of the presence of technology in diverse aspects of teaching mathematics conveying a deep analysis of its implications to the future. The technology is understood in a broad sense, encompassing the computers of all types including the hand-held technology, the software of all types, and the technology of communication that includes the electronic board and the Internet. The discussions will serve as the opportunity for all interested in the use of technology in education environment, to understand its diverse aspects and to share the creative and outstanding contributions, with critical analysis of the different uses. To organize the discussions, the themes will focus on the use of technology in the classroom practice, the use of Internet and the distance education. The issues that will be addressed on these themes will comprise the following aspects: - the use of technology to teach, and the issues on the preparation of teachers to be competent in this; - the integration of technology in the school environment that includes the distance education; the progress of technology and the advances on the educational design of technology in the teaching environment.
Call for Papers
