Teaching Mathematics with Computer Literacy: A Case Study of Curriculum Integration

Abstract

With the proliferation of information and communication technology (ICT), the focus of computer literacy in edu evolved from teaching computer programming to integrating ICT across subjects. However, most schools in H consider computer literacy as a stand-alone curriculum. An important question is how teachers integrate compu into other curricula. This article endeavors to report a case study of integrating computer literacy into ma instruction aims to explore the conditions are essential to the curriculum integration. About 120 Secondary 3 students, two Computer Studies teachers, and one Mathematics teacher took part in the curriculum inte teaching Geometry with Geometer’s Sketchpad. In order to portray a picture of the implementation, data included individual interview of teachers and post-activity questionnaire for students. Results indicated that stud positive in learning Geometer’s Sketchpad and were confident to master the software. However, the students certain whether they could effectively use the discovery approach to learn geometry with Geometer’s Sketchpad of teachers’ interview reflected the curriculum integration could attain the following goals: students learned students learned by doing, and the integration met the needs or request of parents and alumni. However, it wa whether the curriculum integration provided multidisciplinary perspective. Finally, the article discussed the issues in connection to the case study: implications of curriculum integration for teacher development, impact learning, ways of assessment in curriculum integration, and future study of pedagogical practice in curriculum in
