The study examined how the context, inputs, and processes employed by the service providers accredited by the National Teaching Council of Ghana influenced the outcome of the continuous professional development programme (CPD). Drawing on the CIPP model, an explanatory sequential mixed method design was employed. Data was triangulated through self-...

In spite of the proliferation of educational technologies, teacher surveys have indicated relatively low levels of technology integration in mathematics lesson delivery in Ghanaian Senior High Schools. This study examined how Senior High School mathematics teachers use the available technology resources in their pedagogy in Ghana. Drawing on the su...

In this paper, we propose a teaching strategy to enhance the teaching and learning of trigonometry, called cooperative teaching and learning (CTL). The proposed method stems from the need of developing a pedagogical approach that promotes understanding and interest in the learning of trigonometry based on the cooperative learning (CL). This study t...

Drawing on a technology dispositions framework, this study examined the changes in teachers’ beliefs, attitudes, competence, and behavioral intentions toward the use of technology in the mathematics classroom, following their engagement in professional development (PD) mediated by GeoGebra software. In a case study research design, 11 mathematics t...

Using technology to expand the learning space is critical for a productive mathematical discourse. This is a case study of two teachers who developed and enacted GeoGebra-based mathematics lessons following their engagement in a two-year professional development. The didactical and semiotic affordance of GeoGebra in widening the learning space for...

The focus of adopting online instruction is to provide instructional activities that can yield equal or better learning experiences than the traditional teaching approach. This study examined the quality of online instructional approach from the perspectives of Sandwich Graduate Students through the lens of the Seven Principles of Good Practice Fra...

This research examined the competencies (preparedness, skills, knowledge and self-efficacy beliefs) of High School teachers in teaching mathematics with technology. The study employed the explanatory sequential mixed-methods design where a questionnaire, observation guide and semi-structured interview guide were used to collect data. A stratified s...

This research study was conducted to identify core practices of enacting effective mathematics pedagogy with GeoGebra, a software application for teaching and learning mathematics. Eleven Ghanaian in-service mathematics teachers were engaged in a twelve-month professional development programme where they developed GeoGebra-based mathematics lessons...

The Ghanaian mathematics curriculum expects teachers to adopt technologies as an instructional tool to assist students to learn mathematics relationally. Teachers' dispositions (knowledge, beliefs, and attitudes) towards technology are critical in translating the curriculum intention into practice. This paper presents teachers' initial dispositions...

The study employed a quasi-experiment design to evaluate the effect of using Spreadsheet Instructional Method as compared to a Conventional Method on students' performance in quadratic functions. Lessons delivered with both approaches employed a guided discovery; a mix of direct instruction and hands-on activities in a context in which mathematics...

This paper presents a case study of 85 pre-service mathematics teachers from the University of Cape Coast, Ghana; who enrolled in an instructional technology mathematics course to develop competencies in teaching mathematics using the GeoGebra software which was being introduced to them for the first time. The study focused on an in-depth investiga...
