Technology and Education: frameworks to think mathematics education in the twenty-first century
Résumé
Improving the quality of teaching and learning by effective use of technology is a common goal that brings together teachers, researchers, students and more widely citizens. But the roads leading to this goal are often quite different. What are the main changes, for teachers, for students and in the interactions between students and teachers? Different theoretical frameworks give tools to analyse and understand better what happens in the classroom: multirepresentation and multimodality (Arzarello & Robutti 2010), instrumental and documentational genesis (Gueudet & Trouche, 2010), role of technology in an experimental part of mathematics, didactical incidents (Aldon, 2010).
Starting from experiments, I'll show how these frameworks can be combined to analyse the role of technology, the difficulties and the success in maths education.
