Bouck, Emily C. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2012
Mathematics is a critical content area and assistive technology can benefit students with high incidence disabilities in accessing and achieving in this domain. Yet, the field lacks awareness of how often teachers use assistive technology in mathematics and what types of technology they are using. This study sought to understand teachers' self…

Kay, Robin – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2011
This study examines the impact of Web-Based Learning Tools (WBLTs), also known as learning objects, in middle school mathematics and science classrooms. Survey, qualitative, and student performance data were collected from a sample of 18 teachers and 443 students. Teachers were very positive about the learning benefits, quality of WBLTs, and…

Oncu, Semiral; Delialioglu, Omer; Brown, Catherine A. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2008
This article examines how teachers decide which technologies to use in their classrooms and what they expect to gain from adopting technology. Observation, interviews, and document collection were used to collect data as a part of a research project in a Midwestern state. Subjects were 15 to 25 mathematics professionals participating in the…

Wu, Weishen; Chang, Huey-Por; Guo, Chorng-Jee – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2008
Building upon three theoretical paradigms (technology acceptance model, social cognitive theory, and task-technology fit), the present study aims to investigate the relationship among intrinsic and extrinsic factors influencing science teachers' intentions toward teaching with information technology (IT). A sample of 226 middle school science…

Rochowicz, John A. Jr. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1996
Describes a research study that determined that calculus educators are slow to use technologies in instruction because they perceive a lack of clarity regarding the use of technology, technology is rapidly changing, and using technology requires too much time and effort. (DDR)

Forgasz, Helen – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2006
Included in contemporary mathematics curricula is the expectation that mathematics teachers will use technology--computers and calculators--in their classrooms. It is widely believed in Australian educational circles and in society at large that students' learning will be enhanced by engaging with these technologies. For children to use computers…

Boone, William J.; Gabel, Dorothy – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1994
This paper tracks the "computer attitudes" of over 150 undergraduates during their preservice teacher education program. Analysis includes a comparison of attitudinal change as a function of numerous demographic factors and a description of ways in which computers are being integrated into the preservice teacher education curriculum. (40…

Guerrero, Shannon; Walker, Norman; Dugdale, Sharon – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2004
Use of technology in middle grade mathematics is controversial. Major policy documents have teachers torn between enthusiasm for technology-facilitated mathematical investigation and cautions about undermining students' computational skills. This article examines research concerning use of computers and calculators in mathematics at the middle…
