Didactical Challenge of Symbolic Calculators by Dominique Guin & Kenneth Ruthven & Luc Trouche

Turning a Computational Device into a Mathematical Instrument

Computational technologies are transforming the professional practice of mathematics, but they have had little impact on school mathematics. This text develops a theorized analysis of why this is and what can be done to address it. It examines the particular case of symbolic calculators in secondary education. While computational technologies are transforming the professional practice of mathematics, as yet they have had little impact on school mathematics. This pioneering text develops a theorized analysis of why this is and what can be done to address it. It examines the particular case of symbolic calculators (equipped with computer algebra systems) in secondary education. Drawing on a substantial program of French innovation and research, as well as closely related studies from Australia and the Netherlands, it provides rich illustrations of the many aspects of technology integration, and of the ways in which these are shaped at different levels of the educational institution.
