Perception of Undergraduate Students towards Use of Digital Technology in Mathematics Education
Keywords:
Digital, Technology, Mathematics, Classroom, Data Exploration, Digital ToolsAbstract
Digital Technology has been a boon, especially in the field of education. Being one of the mot efficient ways of supplementing the traditional teaching-learning process, it has rightfully become one of the most important facets in the classroom and its application has risen in both quantity and quality. Mathematics as a subject finds constant usage of Digital tools in its pedagogy as well as its application. This study attempts to find the prevalence of Digital tool usage in the mathematics classrooms of the Undergraduate levels. Using a survey questionnaire, the investigators collected data regarding the various aspects of Digital tool integration in a mathematics classroom, reaching the conclusion that despite students perceiving the use and integration of digital technology in their mathematics classroom as net beneficial to themselves, there is not much scope for its development within the classrooms.
