O knihe

A volume in Research on Technology and the Teaching and Learning
of Mathematics: Syntheses, Cases, and Perspectives

According to NCTM's Principles and Standards for School Mathematics, "Technology is
essential in teaching and learning of mathematics; it influences the mathematics that is taught
and it enhances students' learning." How does research inform this clarion call for technology in
mathematics teaching and learning? In response to the need to craft appropriate roles for
technology in school mathematics new technological approaches have been applied to the
teaching and learning of mathematics, and these approaches have been examined by researchers
world-wide.
The first volume provides insight into what research suggests about the nature of mathematics
learning in technological environments. Included in this volume are syntheses of research on
technology in the learning of rational number, algebra, elementary and secondary geometry,
mathematical modeling, and calculus. Additional chapters synthesize research on technology in the practice of teaching and on equity
issues in the use of technology in mathematics instruction. Instead of simply reporting achievement scores of students who use technology
in their learning, authors provide thoughtful analyses of bodies of research with the goal of understanding the ways in which technology
affects what and how students learn. Each of the chapters in this volume is written by a team of experts whose own research has
provided important guidance to the field.
