Using Technology To Teach/Learn Mathematics, How Are We As Teachers Fostering Mathematics Education Mobility?

Mathematics education plays a critical role in developing analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, and logical reasoning abilities among students. With the rapid advancements in technology, the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has opened new possibilities for teaching and learning mathematics. In the field of engineering education, the use of ICT tools and methodologies has gained significant attention due to their potential to enhance mathematical understanding and application within an engineering context. Traditionally, mathematics was taught using traditional pedagogical methods such as lectures, textbooks, and pen -and-paper exercises. However, the integration of ICT tools significantly enhanced the teaching and learning experience. Interactive simulations, computer algebra systems, graphing calculators, educational software, and online resources offer dynamic and engaging platforms for exploring mathematical concepts. In Engineering Education, the integration of ICT tools in mathematics instruction has become increasingly prevalent. Engineering-specific software packages, computational tools, and programming languages provide students with practical applications of mathematics in engineering contexts. The use of virtual laboratories, simulation software, and data analysis tools helps students connect mathematical concepts to real-world engineering problems. It seems widely accepted that integration of ICT in mathematics education, particularly in the field of engineering education, has transformed traditional teaching and learning approaches. By leveraging the power of technology, educators can enhance students' understanding, engagement, and application of mathematics. As technology continues to advance, embracing ICT integration in mathematics education becomes imperative to prepare students for the challenges and opportunities of the engineering profession. In this paper we will present the results of a questionnaire, answered by 29 teachers from 16 countries at the SEFI'2023 conference. This questionnaire delved into teachers' perspectives on utilizing ICT tools and different pedagogical strategies for teaching mathematics.
