Instructional Technologies and Pre-Service Mathematics Teachers’ Selection of Technology

Abstract

There are many available technologies that can assist future teachers to deliver instruction. The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief review of literature identifying available technology tools in mathematics education and which technologies are selected by PSTs to design mathematics lesson activities. The most commonly used and available technology tools in mathematics education and the technological tools most frequently selected by PSTs are described, based on an analysis of 68 lesson activities. The result shows that PSTs selected technology activities based on an assigned topic and grade level.
