Mathematics Education and Technology-Rethinking the Terrain revisits
the important 1985 ICMI Study on the influence of computers and
informatics on mathematics and its teaching. The focus of this book,
resulting from the seventeenth Study led by ICMI, is the use of digital
technologies in mathematics teaching and learning in countries across
the world. Specifically, it focuses on cultural diversity and how this
diversity impinges on the use of digital technologies in mathematics
teaching and learning. Within this focus, themes such as mathematics and
mathematical practices; learning and assessing mathematics with and
through digital technologies; teachers and teaching; design of learning
environments and curricula; implementation of curricula and classroom
practice; access, equity and socio-cultural issues; and connectivity and
virtual networks for learning, serve to organize the study and bring it
coherence.
Providing a state-of-the-art view of the domain with regards to
research, innovating practices and technological development,
Mathematics Education and Technology-Rethinking the Terrain is of
interest to researchers and all those interested in the role that
digital technology plays in mathematics education.
