Mojica-Casey, Maria; Dekkers, John; Thrupp, Rose-Marie
Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia (MERGA) (37th, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, 2014)
The approaches to new technologies available to schools, teachers and students largely concern computers and engagement. This requires adoption of alternate and new teaching practices to engage students in the teaching and learning process. This research integrates youth voice about the use of technology. A major motivation for this research is to increase understanding of student perceptions about their learning and interactions taking place during mathematics classes utilising ICT. The focal point is student experiences online as it applies to middle school aged youth (12-15 years old) and the constructs that inform student online experiences.
