Different technologies in Mathematics teaching:
characterization of the knowledge mobilized by teachers
Maria do Carmo Botelho, Helena Rocha – NOVA
University of Lisbon, Portugal
(12m + 8m)
Abstract
Achieving the potential of technology to teach mathematics requires a
specific teachers’ knowledge to integrate it effectively into their
pedagogic practices. This study aims to characterize the mathematics
teachers’ knowledge when using different technologies. It also aims to
study the existence of relationships between the specific domains of
the Knowledge for Teaching Mathematics with Technology – KTMT and the
integration of graphing calculators and GeoGebra. The methodology
adopted is qualitative with an interpretative approach, using a case
study of a 10th grade Mathematics teacher. This study shows that
different domains of KTMT knowledge are mobilized, according to the
technology chosen, and that the specific characteristics of each of the
technologies used influenced the teachers' pedagogical choices.

The mobilization of teachers' professional knowledge
in an
interdisciplinary process using technology
Tânia Coelho, Helena Rocha – NOVA University
of Lisbon, Portugal
(12m + 8m)
Abstract
The study explores the integration of Mathematics and Physics in an
interdisciplinary context with technology, investigating how two
teachers apply their professional knowledge and identifying challenges
in overcoming barriers to interdisciplinary practices. The research
uses a qualitative case study, including classroom observations and
interviews, focusing on technology use and interdisciplinary promotion.
The results show that teachers' knowledge positively impacts students'
learning, facilitating connections between disciplines. Furthermore,
the findings indicate that overcoming institutional and formative
barriers is essential for the effective implementation of
interdisciplinary practices, requiring collaborative efforts among
teachers.

Preparing Mathematics Teachers for the Digital Age:
Integrating 3D Modelling and Printing in Teacher Education
Mathias Tejera – Johannes Kepler University
Linz, Austria
(12m + 8m)
Abstract
Integrating 3D Modelling and Printing
(3DMP) into education presents exciting opportunities to enhance
mathematics and STEM learning by fostering critical thinking,
creativity, and real-world applications. However, the successful
adoption of 3DMP in classrooms depends on teacher preparation to
address challenges such as resource limitations, curriculum alignment,
and technological integration. This presentation draws from a
systematic literature review exploring interventions in teacher
education to equip preservice mathematics and STEM teachers with the
skills needed for 3DMP integration. Using the Technological Pedagogical
Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework, we analyze current practices and
propose strategies to overcome barriers, emphasizing the role of
mathematics education in bridging theoretical concepts with tangible
applications. Insights from this research highlight how teacher
education programs can support pedagogical innovation, contributing to
both STEM and mathematics education in the digital age.

Exploring Generative AI in Mathematics Education:
implications for pre-service teachers’ professional development

(12m + 8m)
Abstract
Integrating Generative Artificial
Intelligence (GenAI) into mathematics education requires changes in
teaching methods, yet little is known about pre-service teachers’
perceptions of its relevance and challenges. This preliminary study
investigates how seven pre-service mathematics teachers interact with
GenAI, specifically ChatGPT, during the design and implementation of
classroom activities. Using the Knowledge for Teaching Mathematics with
Technology (KTMT) framework, this work examines the interplay between
their professional knowledge and their evaluation of GenAI. The
findings highlight the dual nature of GenAI as both promising and
challenging, emphasizing its potential to foster critical thinking and
discussion. The ability to reflect on AI-generated responses emerges as
central to professional development, underscoring the importance of
preparing teachers for technology-rich educational environments.

Empowering Educators: Integrating Professional Knowledge
and
Technology in Modern Classrooms
Renielton Santos Souza, António Domingos,
Alexandra Rodrigues
NOVA
University of Lisbon, Portugal
(12m + 8m)
Abstract
This seminar examines the pivotal role of professional knowledge among
educators and the integration of technology within the educational
framework. It underscores the necessity of comprehending and
instructing on artificial intelligence (AI) to adequately prepare
students for forthcoming challenges. The presentation showcases
practical resources, such as Google's Teachable Machine, which
facilitates AI education and actively engages students through
interactive projects. By embedding AI across diverse subjects,
educators can cultivate essential competencies, including
problem-solving, creativity, and logical reasoning. The seminar aspires
to motivate educators to adopt technological advancements, ensuring
that students are thoroughly prepared for a rapidly changing
technological environment. This methodology not only enhances the
learning experience but also equips students to successfully navigate
and excel in a technology-driven world.

(12m + 8m)
Abstract
In this communication, we explore the various
domains of knowledge utilized by in-service teachers, with reference to
TPACK, during their use of GeoGebra in a professional development
programme involving middle and secondary school teachers in Portugal.
We analyse performance indicators within the scope of technological,
pedagogical, and content knowledge, based on content analysis of the
activities produced by teachers during the programme. Examples of tasks
designed to develop TPACK are presented, highlighting aspects that
demonstrate how teachers mobilized TPACK to solve the proposed tasks
and to construct an original task aimed at pedagogical practice.
