Mathematics Teacher Education and Technology

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Springer International Handbooks of Education ((SIHE,volume 10))

Abstract

Various applications of electronic technology have contributed to the field of mathematics teacher education, but the array of tools now available to teacher educators in developed countries can be somewhat daunting. In this chapter, the authors present an overview of some of these tools and the ways that they are being used. In addition, they address issues surrounding the development and applications of digital technology in teacher education programs in a number of countries. In particular, they present recent applications of videotapes, multimedia resources, internet-based communities, and tutorial conferencing facilities in pre-service and in-service education of mathematics teachers. As professionals who have used technology in teacher education, the authors blend their own insights into this review of technological tools and relevant issues.
