Is Educational Technology Useful to Mathematics Teachers Activists?
Stoilescu, Dorian
Acta Didactica Napocensia, v2 n3 p85-94 2009
This in-progress study presents aspects of using educational technology in teaching mathematics education. More exactly, it explores ways in which educational technology might be used in order to improve teachers' cultural awareness and social activism. A rationale for a qualitative research study is presented by using multiple methods combining action research and multiple case studies. Three high school mathematics teachers from Greater Toronto Area are selected to participate in this research. Actor Network Theory (ANT) was considered as research paradigm for this study.
