| dc.description.abstract | This is the research on" opportunities and challenges of digital technology in mathematics education" main objectives were to explore the existing practices of digital technology in teaching and learning mathematics, to find out opportunities and challenges of the teacher using digital technology in teaching mathematics, and to explore opportunities and challenges of the students using digital technology in mathematics learning. Thus this study is based on the ethnography research design on the theoretical basis of the Connectivism theory. For this study, one school of Kathmandu valley, Sitapaila Secondary School was selected. The data were collected through the interview guidelines, observation guidelines, and focus group discussion. To meet the purpose of study one mathematics teacher for interview and class ten students for focus group discussion were selected. The data were analyzed and interpreted by different themes based on the conceptual framework and generated the different codes according to the response of participants and the triangulation method, member checking, and field observations. The study concludes that the use of technology in mathematics learning is increasing day by day and mostly mathematics teachers and students are using digital technology in mathematics teaching and learning. Also, digital technology provides a great opportunity for schools and universities in developing and improving their teaching and learning processes. Technology provides additional opportunities for learners to see and interact with mathematical concepts. Digital technology in teaching and learning mathematics was rarely used before lockdowns. After the pandemic situation of coronavirus, the school and universities were unable to run physical classes for a long time then started using digital technology in the teaching-learning sector highly. Mathematics teacher of Sitapaila Secondary School, Nagaarjun-4 using the laptop with projectors in the classroom to teach geometry and algebra. Most of the students are used YouTube and google. For the conceptual development of mathematics, one of the abstract subjects, the learning is being more effective by the use of digital technology in teaching-learning mathematics there are many opportunities and challenges faced by teachers and students. | en_US |
