Uses of technology in lower secondary mathematics education : a concise topical survey

Digital technology1 is omnipresent in society. Revolutionary technological developments change the character of professional environments, and therefore put new
demands on workers (Hoyles, Noss, Kent, & Bakker, 2010). Consequently, there are
new demands on educational systems in order to prepare students for future professions.
Importantly, technology also offers opportunities for teaching and learning (see for
example, Clark-Wilson, 2010; Sacristán et al. 2010); exploiting these opportunities
requires rethinking educational paradigms and strategies. With the advent of such
technology, the question arises as to what the impact on education and teaching
practices should be in order to prepare the next generation of students for future careers.
Both in professional practice and in personal life, it is particularly striking how
digital technologies such as software-controlled engines, smart phones, tablets, and
GPS devices rely on mathematical algorithms that are invisible to the user, but play
essential roles “under the hood”. Implications of these technology-rich environments have the potential to influence the nature of mathematics education and the
concepts and skills that future students will possess.
