虽然许多研究描述了在数学课堂上使用技术，很少有人探讨影响教师决定使用它的因素。在这项研究中的参与者是21个早期职业中学数学教师谁完成了本科数学教师准备计划在美国的一个非常重视使用技术来教数学。在这项定性研究中，访谈数据收集和分析，关注为什么教师选择使用技术来教数学，他们选择使用什么工具，为什么，以及他们在选择特定的技术工具时考虑的一般因素。调查结果表明，决定是否使用技术时最重要的因素之一是它与课程目标的一致程度。所使用的技术范围涵盖了数学行动工具、协作工具、评估工具和通信工具。在选择特定的工具时，教师最看重的是自己和学生的易用性。这些研究结果表明，在考虑如何将技术注入教师教育计划时，我们建议更广泛地关注工具的类型，教师如何定位它们，以及特定的活动如何与特定的数学学习目标保持一致。
While many studies describe the use of technology in the mathematics classroom, few explore the factors that influence teacher decisions around its use. The participants in this study were 21 early career secondary mathematics teachers who had completed an undergraduate mathematics teacher preparation program in the USA with a strong emphasis on the use of technology to teach mathematics. In this qualitative study, interview data were collected and analyzed with attention toward why teachers choose to use technology to teach mathematics, what tools they chose to use and why, as well as the general factors they consider when selecting particular technology tools. Findings indicate that one of the most important factors when deciding whether to use technology was how well it aligned with the goals of a lesson. The range of technology used spanned mathematical action tools, collaboration tools, assessment tools, and communication tools. When selecting particular tools teachers most heavily considered ease of use for both themselves and their students. These findings suggest that when considering how to infuse technology into teacher education programs we suggest that it is important to focus more broadly on types of tools, ways teachers can position them, and how particular activities align with specific mathematics learning objectives.
