In this chapter, the authors mention, briefly, the attempts made from the 1970s to today to insert modern technologies in the teaching/learning of mathematics. They start with the first pocket calculators in the 1970s, which had a rapid technological diffusion that still exists. They focus on the impact that digital electronic technology has had on teaching/learning math. They will not follow a strictly chronological order, preferring to dwell on what, in their opinion, are the fundamental stages. So, the advent of the PC and programming languages—Logo, Basic, Pascal—CAI programs, DGS software, CAS. They conclude with their MatCos Project, after mentioning the new coding languages, including Scratch.

The Impact

Rich exploratory, visual tasks foster opportunities conversations in math class. Clear mental models build the foundation for deeper conversations and foster a class culture where all voices are heard by providing opportunities to take risks and reflecting on beliefs about student ability. Teachers and students can learn the value of engaging with different perspectives. Reflecting on instruction for teachers and learning for students improves retention and understanding. A teacher's role is as facilitator and modeling behavior and communication. Professional development and frameworks are needed to adopt the competencies effectively. Researchers evaluating efficacy of rich tasks and 21st century competencies must reexamine beliefs about ability, consider the impact of societal barriers on student learning, and focus on how instruction can adapt to be more effective for all learners. More research in all of these areas is needed.

The Impact

Selection bias is a problem for mathematics education researchers interested in using observational rather than experimental data to make causal inferences about the effects of different instructional methods in mathematics on student outcomes. Propensity score methods represent 1 approach to dealing with such selection bias. This article describes general principles underlying propensity score methods and illustrates their application to mathematics education research using 2 examples investigating the impact of problem-solving emphasis in mathematics classrooms on students' subsequent mathematics achievement and course taking. Limitations of the method are discussed.

The effects of the Covid-19 pandemic have penetrated all aspects of human life, including education. One of the pandemic consequences is that universities require that lectures be carried out online, where may affect student learning outcomes. This study aimed at determining the impact of online lectures during the Covid-19 pandemic on the professional competence of students as mathematics pre-service teacher at the Muhammadiyah University of Purworejo. This was quantitative research. The population were the first semester students in 2020 at the Mathematics Education Department of Muhammadiyah University of Purworejo. The research sample was taken through random cluster sampling, including 30 students from the population. The data were obtained using a professional competency test instrument. The data processing method used one-sample average statistical test by comparing with the professional competency scores of students in 2018. Based on the study results, it was found that there was a significant decrease in the professional competency scores of Mathematics Education students whose lectures were conducted online during the Covid-pandemic 19 compared to the professional competency scores of Mathematics Education students whose lectures were conducted face-to-face.

Peranan Statistika sebagai salah satu bidang ilmu yang berfungsi untuk merencanakan, mengumpulkan, menganalisis, menginterpretasi, dan merepresentasikan data sebagai dasar untuk pengambilan keputusan sangat penting bagi perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi. Oleh karena itu, tidak mengherankan jika Statistika banyak digunakan dalam berbagai disiplin ilmu lain, antara lain ilmu alam, ilmu sosial, maupun ilmu humaniora. Mengingat tidak semua pengguna statistika memiliki latar belakang pendidikan Matematika, maka penggunaan alat bantu program SPSS menjadi alternatif yang patut dipertimbangkan. Sayangnya, dalam aplikasinya, pengguna SPSS lebih banyak sekedar mengikuti langkah-langkah prosedural tanpa memahami mengapa mereka melakukan hal tersebut. Dampaknya, pengguna SPSS banyak yang merasa kesulitan dalam melakukan analisis data statistik dan semakin tidak menyukai statistika. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kondisi kecemasan statistik pada mahasiswa yang menggunakan SPSS. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan mayoritas mahasiswa dalam penelitian ini (n = 105, 73,4%) tidak menunjukkan kecemasan terhadap statistik melalui empat domain utama yang diukur. Tiga puluh satu siswa (21,7%) menunjukkan kecemasan dalam satu domain, empat siswa (2,8%) menunjukkan kecemasan dalam dua domain dan tiga siswa (2,1%) menunjukkan kecemasan dalam tiga domain. Tidak ada siswa dalam penelitian ini yang menunjukkan kecemasan pada keempat domain sekaligus yang diukur. The role of Statistics as one of the fields of science that functions to plan, collect, analyze, interpret, and represent data as a basis for decision making is very important for the development of science and technology. Therefore, it is not surprising that Statistics is widely used in various other disciplines, including natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. Given that not all statistical users have a Mathematics education background, the use of SPSS program tools is an alternative that should be considered. Unfortunately, in the application, SPSS users are more just following procedural steps without understanding why they are doing it. The impact is that many SPSS users find it difficult to analyze statistical data and increasingly dislike statistics. This study aims to determine statistical anxiety conditions in students using SPSS. The results of this study indicate that the majority of students in this study (n = 105, 73.4%) did not show statistics anxiety through the four main domains measured. Thirty-one students (21.7%) showed anxiety in one domain, four students (2.8%) showed anxiety in two domains and three students (2.1%) showed anxiety in three domains. There were no students in this study who showed anxiety in all four domains as well as being measured.

One of the competencies that must be possessed by teachers or prospective teachers to become professional teachers is pedagogical competence. Pedagogic competence is the ability of a teacher to manage the learning process that relates to students. Therefore, pedagogical competence is very important for mathematics education students as prospective teachers. This study aims to determine the pedagogic competencies possessed by students, to know the strengths and weaknesses of students' pedagogical competencies, to identify the causes of weaknesses in students' pedagogical competencies, and determine alternative solutions to the weaknesses of students' pedagogical competencies. This research is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach. The subjects in this research are Mathematics Education Study Program students who took Microteaching courses. Data collection in this study was carried out through giving tests and interviews. Data was analyzed in quantitative and qualitative ways. The conclusion of the results of this study are 1) students' pedagogical competencies are in the low category; 2) The advantages of pedagogical competencies possessed by students are a) understanding the students' characteristics; b) mastering the concepts, principles, and procedures for developing curriculum or expertise programs; c) creating learning situations that are active, interactive, communicative, effective, and fun, as well as effective students guidance. While the weaknesses of pedagogic competence possessed by students are: a) mastering learning theory and learning principles; b) mastering theories, principles, and learning strategies; c) mastering the use of media, communication technology, and information, as well as reflective actions to improve the quality of learning; d) mastering concepts, principles, and learning assessment strategies; e) understanding the process and results and the impact of learning for students. 3) Factors that lead to the students' weak pedagogical competence are lack of students' motivation in improving and developing their pedagogical abilities and lack of tasks or exercises carried out by students in developing their pedagogical abilities, and lack of students' creativity in completing tasks. 4) Efforts that can be used as alternative solutions namely applying the Lesson Study approach and providing material reinforcement of pedagogic abilities.
