- What qualifications for training and/or experience are necessary to teach this course? (List minimum qualifications for the instructor.) Doctorate in mathematics education or related field.
- Objectives: Upon completion of this course, students will demonstrate the following:
1. Knowledge about the recommendations of various professional groups for the incorporation of technology in education, in general, and in mathematics education, in particular.
2. Knowledge about issues regarding the integration of technology in mathematics learning and teaching.
3. Knowledge about the theoretical and research literature on the integration of technology in mathematics learning and teaching.
4. Knowledge about research questions related to the incorporation of technology in mathematics education and the ability to design a research study that addresses a question of interest both nationally and locally.
5. Competence with at least one mathematics-specific technology that is in use in mathematics classrooms.
6. The ability to use the standards of the profession in scholarly writing in mathematics education.
- Learning Outcomes: • Class discussion will be used to provide insights regarding course readings.
• Students will be evaluated on their ability to lead a class discussion related to an issue involving the integration of technology in mathematics education.
• Students will reflect on the use of technology in actual classrooms.
• The presentation will give the students an opportunity to present the information gleaned from the literature review.
• Technology Exploration will provide insights regarding a student’s ability to explore a new technology and use it as part of instruction.
