| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of the current study was to examine the shifts in the middle school teachers’ beliefs in relation to the use of computer technology in mathematics classroom through their involvement with eight weeks of workshops sessions based on utilizing GeoGebra tool. Six middle school mathematics teachers were volunteered to participate in these workshops sessions so as to gain practical knowledge and hands-on experience about the use of mathematical software in education. A multiple case study approach was employed in current study to investigate changes in beliefs. Semi-structured interviews, observation and field notes were used as a data collection instruments to gather required the data. Based on the initial findings, before the workshop sessions, the volunteer teachers had little aware of mathematical software use in mathematics teaching. The qualitative results provide evidence that following workshop sessions, teachers developed a new vision about the role of computer technology in education. It is not easy for teachers to infuse mathematical software in their future teaching of mathematics due to some impediments such as national exams, time issue and lack of infrastructure. This research provides some useful information about technology professional development for mathematics education and about the degree to which GeoGebra-integrated workshop sessions affected participants’ beliefs. | |
