Allan, Priscilla2015-04-102015-04-102006-6ACE papers, Issue 17: Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, Paper 1.http://hdl.handle.net/2292/25156These ACE working papers were a publication of the Auckland College of Education and the last of these was produced in 2006.This paper argues that there is a need for pedagogical change in the teaching of mathematics when using technology, which would require a pedagogical shift towards learner focused practice rather than the use of technology as a computational tool. It briefly explores the background issues to pedagogical usage of technology in secondary school mathematics classrooms, examining stages of development in the use of technology, two theories of learning and associated pedagogical approaches, the ‘intended’ versus the ‘delivered’ curriculum goals, and the need for learner focused teaching. Barriers to change are examined and some possible ways forward are considered.enItems in ResearchSpace are protected by copyright, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise indicated.
