Abstract:
It is important for future teachers of mathematics to distinguish between technology as course content to be taught and technology as a teaching tool. This exploratory study examines prospective teachers' views of the role of technology in mathematics education before, during, and after their experience in a mathematics class that focused on technology in mathematics education. In particular, the researchers explore participants' views of mathematical content technology may aid in the teaching of and their views of the teacher's role in a class were technology is utilized.
