  In Roundtable Session: The Role of Technology in Supporting Student and Teacher Learning

Abstract

This study examines how teachers perceive the integration of digital curriculum resources into mathematics classrooms. In particular, we explored the relationships between teachers’ intention to integrate the Spatial-Temporal Math (ST Math) program and perceptions regarding curriculum enactment and students’ outcomes. The survey responses of 304 teachers were analyzed to examine the teachers’ perception and use of a digital curriculum resource. We found that the relation between teachers’ intention to integrate ST Math into designated curriculum and perceived student outcomes are mediated by reported usability of ST Math. The findings provide insight into the complexity of teachers’ digital curriculum resource use.
