Mathematics Teachers’ Pedagogy through Technology: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

Mathematics teachers’ pedagogy (MTP) is an integral part of classroom instructional mediation through technology or manipulatives. This article describes a logical literature analysis for the MTP and technology with GeoGebra (GG). The findings reveal the intervention impact of MTP with GG and other technologies such as matrix laboratory (MATLAB); an interactive whiteboard (IWB) and computer algebra system (CAS); wxMaxima, which is a CAS; information and communication technologies (ICT); concrete materials as well as other resources in developing students’ performances in mathematics which were generally effective too. The systematic literature review (SLR) explored findings from current research between January 2011 and October 2020. Quality assessment screening of the papers was done and alongside further elimination of repeated documents from the analysis, twenty-eight publications met the refinement and inclusion/exclusion criteria out of 110 papers. The modified preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) outline exemplifies the literature review accordingly. The authors observed, accomplished, and discussed the significance of the SLR. This was followed by the constraints, upcoming directions for MTP with technology and GG, and the MTP consequences for education and research.

Students’ Engagement through Technology and Cooperative Learning: A Systematic Literature Review

“…The traditional lecture model replacement with one that stimulates good student interactions to adopt active learning in mathematics classes is vital. Mathematical communication standards, for example, to encourage students to participate in mathematics by explaining to peers, conjecturing, or justifying their answers (Aliyu et al, 2021;Morgan et al, 2018;Reynolds, 2019). Calculative thinking, written reflections, and individual task work are constructive intra-student input during active learning.…”

“…Following that, the review's conclusions should be concise, and the assessment's framework should be made public. All document evaluations should contain the mediation and pattern results (Aliyu et al, 2021).…”

“…It is a method of formulating a precise query that employs rationality and techniques in categorising, analysing, and, most importantly, evaluating or measuring significant exploration, as well as gathering and analysing data according to the review's findings. SLR aims to identify, analyse, and develop accurate provision that brings together established suitability events to a given investigative problem (Aliyu et al, 2021). Figure 1 depicts the inclusion and exclusion of literature at each stage:…”

“…Therefore, primary schools and secondary schools have fewer research studies than higher institutions with respect to these findings. Several investigations were undertaken through different backgrounds (Daoud et al, 2020), whereas some utilized various learning philosophies with same environment (Aliyu et al, 2021). Figure 2 summarises the scenario for each country or territory: Mathematics accounted for only 13.0% of the total, whereas social sciences accounted for 51.7%.…”

Challenges and Solutions for Teachers' Use of Interactive Whiteboards in High Schools

“…IWBs were also reported to have generated excitement and a positive attitude to learning [18]. Literature shows that IWBs contain important Mathematical materials, which enable learners to gain access to a variety of unusual solution sets [19]. In addition, IWB materials provide a fun atmosphere, and long-lasting memory of words when used in an English vocabulary classroom [20].…”
