With the use of digital technologies in education, and more widely, coming under intense scrutiny, MSHE member Keith Jones has a new book chapter published today on key debates in the use of digital technologies in the teaching and learning of mathematics. Entitled ā€œFake news, artificial intelligence, mobile divisions, likely futures? Debates on digital technologies in mathematics educationā€, the chapter considers the extent to which the use of digital technologies improves educational outcomes in school mathematics (or whether there is much ā€˜fake newsā€™), the rise of digital ā€˜assistantsā€™ and ā€˜tutorsā€™ for mathematics education (or whether such ā€˜intelligenceā€™ is literally artificial), and whether increasing use of mobile digital technologies in mathematics education helps all learners (or whether it is contributing to an exacerbated ā€˜digital divideā€™). The chapter concludes with consideration of the impact of current developments on the likely futures for promising forms of digital technologies for mathematics education. More on Keithā€™s latest research can be found on his Twitter feed, and the book chapter, and many other publications, can be on his ResearchGate profile.
