USING INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY FOR QUALITY MATHEMATICS TEACHING

Abstract

The technological pedagogical content knowledge framework in Mathematics (originally TPCK, now known as TPACK, or technology, pedagogy, and content Knowledge in Mathematics) for teacher knowledge is described in detail, as a quality interaction among Content, pedagogy, and technology, the three components of knowledge. To successfully integrate technology use into quality teaching-learning, we require the types of flexible knowledge which could emerge by theoretical as well as practical interaction of these components of knowledge. This article explores from a theoretical perspective the importance of ICTs in education. Furthermore, it describes the concept of key competences and ICT competences that learners should achieve in order to enable them to successfully participate in quality learning
