41.072 - Potential and Challenges: Research on Students' and Teachers' Interactions With Digital Mathematics Curriculum Materials

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Internationally, digital curriculum resources, including open educational resources (OERs), are increasingly used by teachers to build their mathematics curriculum. One of the questions arising is that about the coherence of their work with digital curriculum resources (Confrey et al., 2016). Other agents, such as students and teacher educators, also interact with digital curriculum resources in the course of their work with and the learning of mathematics. The profusion of digital resources now available on the web have the potential to be provide meaningful learning experiences for students, and motivate opportunities for teacher collaborative learning and enhancement of teachers’ mathematics-didactical design capacity. In this symposium, we explore the potential and challenges related to digital curriculum resources for both teachers and students.
