Impact of Technological Tools on Mathematics Pedagogy: Data-Driven Insights into Educators’ Practices in Math Classrooms

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Teaching with technology enhances instructional effectiveness and student engagement, particularly in mathematics, accounting, and ICT education.Digital learning creates an interactive environment that fosters deeper understanding and keeps learners updated with current trends.For teachers, it offers tools to assess student strengths and weaknesses better, guiding them to develop targeted interventions.However, successful technology integration depends on educators' digital skills, an area where many still face challenges.This paper aims to assess teachers' technological and pedagogical proficiency and identify barriers to integration.The study employed a mixed-method approach with 60 teacher respondents selected through stratified random sampling from both urban and rural schools.Data was collected through online interviews, classroom observations, and preand post-survey questionnaires focusing on confidence, competence, and willingness to use technology.Thematic analysis and paired sample t-tests using SPSS v.20 revealed a significant improvement in teachers' technological skills following an intervention program.It also identified both internal and external factors hindering technological integration in the classroom.Findings emphasize that sustained support and training are essential for effective technology use in the classroom and recommend that school administrators embed technology in curriculum planning to enhance both instruction and extension activities.
