Towards a pedagogical model of teaching with ICTs for mathematics attainment in primary school: A review of studies 2008–2018

Abstract

This article reviews literature in the field of ICTs in teaching/learning mathematics at an elementary school level. The findings to date in the field of teaching with technology in mathematics classrooms are very conflictual, with some studies indicating that ICTs impact positively on achievement through altering pedagogy, while other studies indicate that the effect on achievement and pedagogy is in fact negative. The current paper seeks to address the conflictual data by analysing a variety of meta-analyses and studies in order to answer the following questions: Does pedagogy alter with the use of ICTs in grade 6 mathematics classrooms and if so, in what ways does it vary? Secondly, does student achievement in mathematics change with the use of ICTs as teaching tools and if so, in what ways does it do so? Findings from the review indicate that student achievement in mathematics can be positively impacted using technology, depending on the pedagogical practices used by teachers. Technology on its own appears to have no significant impact on student's attainment. There is a dearth of findings regarding pedagogical variation with ICTs outside of a single meta-analysis that indicates that a ‘constructivist’ approach to teaching/learning with technology is the most effective approach to developing students' conceptually. Due to this gap in the literature, the paper outlines a theoretical framework for providing a nuanced study of pedagogical variation with ICTs drawing on Cultural Historical Activity Theory and TPACK that can track pedagogical change along various dimensions.

Exploring Hungarian teachers’ perceptions of inclusive education of SEN students

“…Another important issue that may be beneficial in the development of SEN children is the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the teaching and learning process (Palomino, 2017). New methods can be introduced and education can be tailored to students' needs through technology (Hardman, 2019;Yeni and Gecu-Parmaksiz, 2016). Another benefit of ICT is that providing a meaningful learning environment can support the development of higher order skills in SEN students (Csap o and Moln ar, 2019;Gellerstedt et al, 2018;Mohamed, 2018;Vid akovich and Hab ok, 2019).…”

Examining Indonesian Secondary School Mathematics Teachers' Instructional Practice in the Integration of Technology

“…Technological tools such as computer and tablets, do not direct teachers' pedagogical approach [4]. This is in line with Hardman [5] and Jackson [6], arguing that the impact of technology use in teaching depends on teachers' pedagogical practices.…”

The Use of Augmented Reality Blended Learning for Improving Understanding of Food Security

“…Initially, the teaching and learning process only occurred in the classroom, but now the teaching and learning process is not bound by space and time (Knox, 2016). Lecturers must be able to provide optimal learning by using various learning models that are tailored to the characteristics of students (Hardman, 2019).…”

“…The learning model is a method that can be used to create a long-term learning plan, design learning materials and direct learning in the classroom or others (Coiduras et al,2020;He at al., 2019). The learning model is a conceptual framework that describes a systematic procedure in organizing learning experiences to achieve certain learning goals and serves as a guide for learning designers and instructors in planning teaching and learning activities (Brew & Saunders, 2020;Hardman, 2019;Hoi, 2020;Maity et al, 2015). Blended is a learning model that mixing reality or direct learning and communication technology-based (Cheung & Wang, 2019;Hubackova & Semradova, 2016;Stockwell et al, 2015).…”
