Description
Nowadays, we are surrounded by a diversity of digital tools and devices. Digital technology includes visible tools, such as smartphones and tablets, as well as technology embedded less visibly in, for example, cars or medical equipment; in both cases, however, digital technology drastically affects daily life as well as professional practice. As a consequence, one might expect education to be in a process of transformation, too: on the one hand, education should prepare for a technology-rich future, and on the other, it might benefit from the opportunities that digital technology offers. But is this really the case? Is education, and in our case mathematics education in particular, involved in a fundamental process of change due to the availability of digital tools? And, if the answer is yes, do we have evidence that this change leads to improvements in mathematics achievement? These are the questions that we want to reflect upon in this contribution.| Period | 13 Mar 2014 |
