Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue is to gather a set of reports from research on how the wide and pervasive spreading of digital technologies is changing the actual practices of teaching mathematics, with a particular focus on the processes related to assessing the students’ learnings.
With this Special Issue, we intend to help to share experiences about, and to discuss how the features of the different school systems impact on the acceptance, the spreading, and the sharing of digital-based practices of teaching, learning and assessing mathematics at all educational levels.
This is a topic which has become particularly relevant due to the period of “enforced digitalization” that almost all schools systems in the world have experienced, are experiencing, and will experience in the COVID era.
We are interested in papers which address this topic either at the systemic or at the classroom level. Perspectives which join the local and the global are welcome.
In this Special Issue, we welcome theoretical, methodological or empirical papers, based on a variety of frameworks, which explore how the continuously evolving digital background where students, teachers and institutions act is impacting on everyday classroom activity. We welcome papers that address (but are not limited to) some of the following themes:
- Mathematics teachers’ assessment practices;
- Large-scale assessment in a computer-Based setting;
- Mathematics teachers’ and teacher educators’ digital skills;
- Reports of teaching experiments in a digital setting;
- Long-distance teaching and learning of mathematics;
- Reports of mathematics teachers professional development training programs;
- Theoretical perspectives and methodological tools for studying and understanding mathematics teaching and assessing in a digital world;
- The role of physical resources;
- The evolution of mathematics curricula;
- The impact of the COVID experience on the actual digital practices;
- Digital technologies as tools for mathematics education research.
