1. Rationale
Information and communication technologies (ICT) have become one of the fundamental building blocks of modern society. Many countries now regard the mastering of the basic skills and concepts of ICT as an inevitable part of the core of education. To this end, various new models of education are evolving in response to the new opportunities that are becoming available by integrating ICT tools and even in particular Web-based technolgies, into the teaching mathematics. The effective integration of such tools however, depends to a large extent on teacher’s familiarity and ability with the IT learning environment. Mathematics teachers need to know exactly how ICT tools are being used as a teaching and learning tool, for their own purposes and to help students to use them. This module is about the integration of ICT as a tool in the Mathematics classroom with the overall aim of increasing the effectiveness of teaching and improving students’ learning. The module outlines a programme of objectives and related activities for an ICT enhanced learning environment in Mathematics teaching and learning.
2. Prerequisite and Knowledge
- ICT Basic Skills
- Access to a computer
- Access to Internet* (highly recommended for many activities)
- Know how to use ICT as a tool for designing new learning environments for their own subject-specific purposes to help their future students to use ICT.
- Provide the student-teacher with the knowledge, skills and attitudes to better use technology in their lesson-planning and lessons, research, communication, problem-solving, and continuing professional development.
The learners should be able to:
- Critically apply the pedagogical principles of ICT integration in mathematics.
- Develop and facilitate ICT-based learning activities in the context of teaching Mathematics.
- Analyse and evaluate appropriate content and context for the use of ICT in Mathematics teaching.
- Use appropriate and varied communication and multimedia tools (emails, websites etc) in teaching and learning Mathematics.
- Use ICT efficiently in research, problem solving and project-based learning in Mathematics.
- Use ICT efficiently for professional development in the context of teaching and learning Mathematics.
- Integrate ICT appropriately into Mathematics curriculum activities that will foster students ownership of their ICT-rich learning environment.
3 hrs (1.5 hrs focusing on general teaching skills in the use of ICTs in education; 1.5 hrs specific to the use of ICT tools in teaching mathematics)
