A Critical Review of Technology Embedded Learning for Mathematics Learning

Abstract

The integration of embedded technology in mathematics learning has significantly influence modern practices. These days technological tools are quite helpful for teaching and learning. The use of technology in the classroom has grown in 21st century. As the demand on education in the modern age continue to rise, many forms of technology are having an enormous effect on classroom teaching. Technology must be used into actual classroom in order to improve students understanding in mathematics as well as critical thinking, problem solving ability, Therefore, it is essential to successfully embedded technology in mathematics instructions. Through the use of technology, we organized the classroom effectively and efficiently. According to Wei (2020), the technology-embedded classroom approach includes various forms of technology use in teaching. i.e., The technology- embedded classroom approach including technology assisted teaching, technology integrated teaching and technology- based teaching. However, challenges still exist during teaching and learning, without using technology, teacher may struggle to effectively deliver topic such as co-ordinate geometry, geometry, mensuration, circle etc. Additionally, students may bore during class while teaching by traditional method. Technology-embedded learning in mathematics offers many advantages. A technology-integrated classroom provides flexibility for both learners and instructors, allowing students to grasp topics with both abstract and concrete thinking. But it has many challenges too, such as high cost of technological tools, integration of mathematical tools, accessibility, lack of digital literacy etc. This paper critically reviews the role of technology for mathematics learning, explore its benefits and challenges and suggest some solution to integrate embedded technology in normal classroom for mathematics learning.
