Mathematics Education Seminar Online

June 23: Paul Drijvers: Zooming in and zooming out: the color chart of digital technology in mathematics education

End of season: drinks and dinner!

We would like to end this season of seminars in a special way. Therefore, the meeting will once again be face2face (as well as online) at Drift 21, ruimte 003, in the centre of Utrecht.

Additionally, we would like to invite all (regular) participants and former speakers as guests for drinks and a dinner afterwards in a nearby restaurant (location to be arranged). If you would like to join us for drinks and dinner, please register through this form before the 16^th of June.

Zooming in and zooming out: the color chart of digital technology in mathematics education

Prof. Dr. Paul Drijvers, Freudenthal Institute, Utrecht University

Over three decades, digital technology has been playing an increasingly important role in mathematics education practices, and has impacted on educational research in the field. Still, both teachers and researchers are struggling with the questions this raises, not only to teaching and assessment, but also to educational goals and curricula, theories on learning and research methods. In this talk, I will try to provide an overview of past and present developments in this multi-colored landscape of tools, teaching and theory, and speculate on future developments.

Paul Drijvers is scientific director and full professor in mathematics education at the Freudenthal Institute of Utrecht University's Science Faculty. As scientific director, he is responsible for the institute's research program. His research interests include the role of ICT in mathematics education, mathematical thinking, and embodiment in mathematics education. 

The seminar can also be attended online in Microsoft Teams

Mathematics Education Seminars are conducted monthly; additional information can be found on the seminar webpage
