Emergent technologies in mathematics teaching and learning

Emergent technologies such as e-Learning 2.0 and social network software for collaborative learning, Internet resources for teaching and learning, mobile learning, visualization tools, programming languages and computational thinking, Artificial Intelligence-based tutoring tools, computer-based assessment systems, eye tracking technologies are changing the way in which mathematics education from primary school to university level across several disciplines is delivered.

A variety of learning theories and theoretical frameworks such as Activity Theory, discourse theory, documentational and instrumental approach, Theory of Didactical Situations, assemblage and agency theory, distributed cognition, and Actor-Network theory can be used to assess the affordances of these technologies for the learning and teaching of mathematics in authentic educational settings.

The main goal is to provide dedicated space to engage teachers and students with these emerging technologies while encouraging their exploration of the new possibilities they bring about in teaching and learning mathematics.
