Mwingirwa, Irene Mukiri; Miheso-O'Connor, Marguerite Khakasa – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2016
The uptake of technology and specifically, GeoGebra software, in teaching mathematics has had mixed success in spite of its documented benefits. This study investigated teachers' perspective towards training and eventual use of GeoGebra as a tool to enhance learning of mathematics. In this article we share findings from a larger study that was…

Peer reviewedSigner, Barbara – School Science and Mathematics, 1983
The concerns of two teachers at a school where computer-integrated instruction was being used in five second-year algebra classes were studied. High levels of personal and management concerns, coupled with low refocusing concerns, were found. Both teachers were judges as mechanical users of computer materials. (MNS)

Hecht, Jeffrey B.; Roberts, Nicole K.; Schoon, Perry L.; Fansler, Gigi – 1995
This research used three groups in a quasi-experimental approach to assess the combined impact of teacher teaming and computer technology on student grade point averages (GPAs). Ninth-grade students' academic achievement in each of four different subject areas (algebra, biology, world cultures, and English) was studied. Two separate treatments…
