Technology for Math Teaching

Hours

3.0 Credit, 3 Lecture, 0 Lab
Analyzing research relative to learning mathematics with technology; exploring mathematical problems using technology; design curriculum; conducting research in the learning and teaching of mathematics with technology.

Scholarship

Students understand and can evaluate important issues, trends, theories, paradigms of research, and research findings related to teaching and learning mathematics with technology, as well as their implications for the teaching and learning of mathematics with technology in the public schools, mathematics teacher development, and/or participation in mathematics education scholarship.

Critical Stance

Students can apply principles of quality research to analyze and critique research on teaching and learning mathematics with technology, and understand the affordances and constraints of research paradigms and methodologies in this body of research.

Mathematics and Technology

Through their mathematical explorations with technology, students have a deepened understanding of fundamental mathematics concepts from secondary mathematics and beyond, as well as an understanding of the affordances and constraints technology brings to the learning and teaching of mathematics.

Teaching

Students can design technology-rich mathematics activities that are influenced by an understanding of research on teaching and learning with technology and an understanding of fundamental mathematics concepts.

Professionalism

Students have developed knowledge and beliefs (particularly with respect to technology) that enable and compel them to continually seek opportunities to improve their own practice, keep abreast of advances and developments in technology for teaching mathematics, and provide leadership in professional, school, and community organizations.

Spiritual Stewardship

Students strive to follow the example of Jesus Christ in both their personal and professional lives, seek consistency between their understanding of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ and principles of mathematics teaching and learning studied in this course, and use this enriched understanding of teaching and learning to nurture the divine potential of all in their spheres of influence.
