Using the UTAUT-TPACK model to explain digital teaching behaviour of elementary school mathematics teacher

ABSTRACT The appropriate use of digital technology in the classroom is very helpful to improve mathematics teaching in elementary school. However, the current situation of elementary school mathematics teachers’ digital teaching behaviour is not optimistic. This study analysed the factors influencing elementary school mathematics teachers’ digital teaching behaviour. A revised unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model with technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) was used to understand elementary school mathematics teachers’ digital teaching behaviour. A questionnaire survey was conducted in Hunan province of China. Three hundred elementary school mathematics teachers provided valid questionnaire data. The partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) approach was used to analyse the data. It was found that TPACK and facilitating conditions positively and significantly affected digital teaching behaviour of elementary school mathematics teachers, and TPACK was the biggest influential factor. The research results have important implications for improving digital teaching behaviour of elementary school mathematics teachers and promoting digital transformation of elementary school mathematics education.

Perceptions, attitudes and approaches of mathematics teachers to remote teaching in an emergency

This study highlights important aspects of the transition from face-to-face to emergency remote teaching (ERT) in the context of elementary school mathematics. The integration of computerised technologies in teaching is a process that requires a change in teaching method and sometimes in teachers’ worldview as well. The research examined the level of technology integration in mathematics lessons using the five-step Apple Classrooms of Tomorrow model. The relationship between mathematics teachers’ teaching strategies and their perceptions of their role in the classroom and in remote teaching in an emergency was analysed. The teachers’ level of comfort with technology integration in face-to-face teaching was found to strongly impact their perceptions of online teaching and the strategies used when transitioning to ERT. We point out tools that teachers need, and that they often lack, in order to incorporate teaching strategies at high levels of thinking, such as research-based learning, problem-solving, and developing classroom discussions while working in collaborative groups, into an online format. Implications arising from this study can shed light on the emphasis that must be considered when planning courses that prepare teachers for ERT, whether for in-service teacher training or bachelor’s and master’s degree programmes.

Bringing Compassion to Mathematics Learning in Elementary School

Poor instructional design is alleged to be the cause of the low ability and poor mathematical attitude of students. The preparation of learning design focuses too much on academic intellectual barriers and tends to override psychological-emotional barriers. Without overcoming cognitive and emotional barriers at the same time, a student will not achieve optimal results in learning mathematics. This study aims to analyze the needs of learning mathematics in elementary schools and especially analyze the existence of social emotional barriers in learning mathematics. The results of the learning needs analysis are used as the basis for developing a more comprehensive mathematics learning design. This study uses a qualitative - descriptive method. The study was conducted in 10 elementary schools in East Java involving 30 students and 10 mathematics teachers. The results showed that students who had difficulty in learning mathematics were not always due to the student’s academic capacity, but were also influenced by their ability to focus, struggle, and their involvement in learning. The teachers so far only focus on overcoming academic obstacles and tend to override social emotional barriers in learning mathematics. The purpose of learning mathematics will be achieved when the teacher succeeds in overcoming both intellectual and emotional problems. The implications of the research findings show the urgency to include the value of compassion in mathematics learning, especially at the elementary school. Compassionate mathematics is an idea to collaborate on social emotional learning, joyful learning and realistic education in learning mathematics.
