Practise What You Preach: The Interactive Whiteboard in Preschool Mathematics Education
Bourbour, Maryam; Masoumi, Davoud
Early Child Development and Care, v187 n11 p1819-1832 2017
The Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) is now a common technological artefact in Swedish preschools and schools. This study examines preschool teachers' thinking behind the embedding of IWB in the early years' mathematics classroom and how preschool teachers structure their mathematical activities when using IWB. Two complementary empirical studies, that is, interviews and video observations, were conducted with four preschool teachers. The findings demonstrate that (just) having a positive attitude to technological artefacts like IWB is less likely to enrich the learning environment and lead to pedagogical change. This suggests that teachers' IWB use is mostly informed by their pedagogical knowledge.
