Abstract: | Technology refers to the collection of tools that make it easier to use, create, manage, and exchange information. ICT stands for information and communication technology, which includes newer digital technologies such as computers and the internet. These are potential and powerful tools for the change and reform of education. ICT tools are the set of currently developed technologies that allow more efficient communication of information. This study focuses on inquiring teachers' experiences of using ICT tools in teaching school mathematics. I employed narrative inquiry as a research methodology within the paradigm of interpretivism. I used purposive sampling and selected four mathematics teachers as participants who were using ICT tools in teaching mathematics in community schools. The study's result is that most mathematics teachers are trying to use GeoGebra software. But, due to the lack of effort and opportunity for the capacity development of many teachers, it is seen that they are not able to carry out the work easily. The use of ICT tools has developed modern teaching techniques in mathematics teaching and learning. It has supported professional development and enhances mathematics learning capacities, critical thinking skills of the teacher and ii students, and formula derivation and application. It generates innovative ideas and motivates students to learn mathematics. The study concluded that the use of ICT tools is a suitable option to adopt for the advanced teaching and learning of mathematics according to time. For this, it seems that mathematics teachers should increase their skills in ICT and bring them to classroom in a practical way. ___________________ 6 January 2023 Shree Krishna Acharya Degree Candidate iii This dissertation of Shree Krishna Acharya entitled Teachers’ Experiences of Using ICT in Teaching Mathematics: A Narrative Inquiry was presented on 6 January 2023 |
