“…Before COVID-19, much research [49,[53][54][55][56][57][58] was done on using technology, online courses, online resources and online platforms for teaching, learning and assessing mathematics. In the COVID-19 pandemic era, more research [4,8,[59][60][61] has been conducted and has revealed that lecturers and students are concerned about the strengths, challenges and limitations of using technology for teaching mathematics education. Moreover, research has been carried out on the feasibility and effectiveness of online platforms, resources and devices for technology-based teaching, assessment and learning [62][63][64].…”

“…In the era of the 4IR, lecturers and students must adapt to integrating technologybased devices, platforms and tools for teaching, assessing and learning [2]. Technology is transforming rapidly, and research [3,4] shows that technology-based teaching methods can support the face-to-face contact-based teaching methods typically used at educational institutions. Educational environments that embrace the 4IR encourage teaching, assessing and learning that supports collaboration, group work, peer teaching, critical thinking and interactive problem-solving techniques while using technology-based devices, platforms and tools [5][6][7][8].…”

Higher Education Institutions have adopted technology-based teaching methods to prevent the spreading of the contagious coronavirus (COVID-19). In the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) era, technology-based teaching methods are indispensable for scaffolding teaching, learning and assessment. Mathematics is an important discipline in education, and provides a basis for problem solving, critical thinking and analytical skills, which is important to consider when focusing on sustainability. Thus, to add knowledge to the field about integrating technology-based teaching methods in mathematics, Higher Education environments during and post-COVID-19 need to be interrogated. This added knowledge is be valuable in the 4IR era post-COVID-19 for sustaining mathematics in Higher Education. This study explored participants’ experiences, views, implications and suggestions for technology-based teaching methods for mathematics. These participants (N = 45) were postgraduate students and mathematics school teachers at the research site in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The research location for this qualitative study was a South African Higher Education Institution, and the study was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Community of Inquiry theoretical framework and the Substitution, Augmentation, Modification and Redefinition (SAMR) theoretical model guided this study. Participants were invited to two interactive online workshops. At these workshops, participants were introduced to different technology-based teaching methods. Then, they were invited to individual online interviews. The findings of this study suggest important experiences, views and suggestions for using technology-based teaching methods in Higher Education mathematics contexts in the 4IR era. These findings provide important implications and further research possibilities for embedding sustainable mathematics in Higher Education in the 4IR era, post-COVID-19.
