Novice Secondary Mathematics Teachers' Evaluation of Mathematical Cognitive Technological Tools
Smith, Ryan; Shin, Dongjo; Kim, Somin; Zawodniak, Matthew
Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE Journal), v18 n4 2018
As technology becomes more prevalent in the mathematics classroom, teachers will need to be able to effectively evaluate technological tools to use with students. In this study, the authors examined secondary mathematics teachers' evaluation of online dynamic geometry tools. The analysis focused on the teachers' noticing of technology; specifically, what features within the tools mathematics teachers attended to, how they interpreted these features, and in what ways they responded. Findings indicated that secondary mathematics teachers attended mostly to mathematical features of the tools and considered the tools' ability to focus on student engagement and student thinking to be very important, as well as the ease of implementation of the tool. The secondary mathematics teachers tended to begin their evaluation by determining how the tools work and attending to its appearance and then moved toward examining the mathematical features and how they related to student thinking.
