Kynigos, Chronis; Psycharis, Giorgos – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2013
In this paper we aim to contribute to the process of networking between theoretical frames in mathematics education by means of forging connections between Constructionism and Instrumental Theory to discuss a design for instrumentalisation. We specifically focus on instrumentalisation, i.e. the ways in which students make changes to digital…

Soucie, Tanja; Radovic, Nikol; Svedrec, Renata; Kokic, Ivana – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2011
Studying geometry is an integral component of learning mathematics because it allows students to analyse and interpret the world they live in as well as equip them with tools they can apply in other areas of mathematics. Therefore, students need to develop an understanding of geometric concepts as well as gaining adequate geometry related skills.…

Kasten, Sarah E.; Sinclair, Nathalie – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2009
Over the past decade, research on the use of technology in the mathematics classroom has focused primarily on issues of student learning and engagement. In this article, we focus on middle grades mathematics teachers' use of The Geometer's Sketchpad, and study both the decisions they make about when to use technology, and their motivations for…

Halat, Erdogan – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2009
The aim of this study was to examine the views of pre-service mathematics teachers on the use of webquests in teaching and learning geometry with reference to a theoretical framework developed by Dodge in 1995. For this study the researcher identified four groups containing nineteen pre-service mathematics teachers, which were then assigned to…

Sinclair, Margaret – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2006
This paper discusses some of the results of a study carried out with two classes of grade 7 students (11-12 years old); the aim of the project was to design, develop, and test interactive geometry tasks for use in future research into how (or whether) interactive applets help students learn mathematics. The study tasks were developed around the…

Issakova, Marina; Lepp, Dmitri; Prank, Rein – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2006
T-algebra is a project for creating an interactive learning environment for expression manipulation tasks of elementary algebra. Our main didactical principle has been that all the necessary decisions and calculations at each solution step should be made by the student, and the program should be able to understand the mistakes. This paper…
