Impact of ICT on the Teaching of Mathematics and on the Mathematics Curriculum
26-27 November 2008
Paris, Finnish Institute
The focus of the Workshop is the Impact of Technology on the Teaching of Mathematics.
On one hand, technology is affecting the content of the mathematics curricula at different levels, and, on the other hand, technology supports traditional teaching, and makes the delivery of mathematics education more efficient.
The theme of the workshop is to discuss the extent to which technology should change the actual content of the various mathematics curricula, and how it could be best used to enhance traditional teaching. This includes the use and the further development of various assistive technologies.
In Norway, dynamic geometric programs, such as GeoGebra, are being introduced in the high school classrooms. In the US, the TERC reform has lead to a new mathematics curriculum, which is being accompanied by the reform affected by the book Everyday Mathematics. The workshop will address these and related themes from the European point of view.
Topics include but are not limited to:
- impact of ICT on mathematics curriculum
- pedagogical aspects of ICT in the classroom
- case studies on ICT in mathematics
- assistive technologies in mathematics education
- cognitive studies relevant to mathematics education
Format
The workshop will include invited presentations by leading experts in pedagogical aspects of ICT in mathematics education and contributed presentations.
