Abstract

We report on an initial analysis of survey data that was generated through a collaboration between the schools of Education and Information Technology in exploring pathways through which future teachers could envision mathematics as engaging and creative subject, while also enhancing their awareness of, and skills in, using digital technologies in teaching mathematics. We specifically share insights generated into students' attitudes towards, current understandings of, and expectations for uses of technology in teaching and learning mathematics in schools. We bring attention to a mismatch between pre-service teachers views of technology and those of technology educators.
