Technology Transforming Mathematics Education

Abstract

Emergence of information and communication technology has ushered a new era in modern civilization in which digitalization has almost become a useful alternative, because it has influenced every aspect of human life especially our education. Information and Communication Technologies possess an invaluable potential to alter and positively change education of children, teachers, teacher educators and others. ICT ensures innovative and reliable modes of tackling effectively the challenges downgrading the educational system of our country. In mathematics teaching and learning, teachers’ beliefs about mathematics learning with or without using technology are considered to be important because it could influence teaching and learning, and curriculum reform. Mathematics education in educational institutions is witnessing dedicated reforms directed toward the integration of technology in mathematics courses at all levels. There is growing demand for sustained cooperation and collaboration amongst mathematicians, technicians, educators in the formulation, research and implementation of not only the syllabus but methodology on use of technology in mathematics education also.
