Designing Technology-Enriched Pedagogy In Secondary Mathematics Education (2006–2008)

Abstract:
This project investigates how and why secondary school mathematics teachers use technologies such as computers, graphics calculators and the internet to help their students learn. Intensive case studies of teachers who are expert users of technology will identify critical factors that support or inhibit innovative teaching and learning. This information will be used to design and implement a professional development program that involves collaboration between expert teachers and colleagues attempting similarly innovative practices in other school settings. The central purpose of the project is to develop more sophisticated theories of teacher learning and ways of helping teachers enact innovations in their own specific contexts.
