Effective Instructional Practices: Secondary School Teachers View about Teaching Secondary Mathematics with Technology

The study explores the integration of technology in teaching mathematics, providing current secondary mathematics teachers with effective practices and guiding future mathematics teachers toward a technology-pedagogical approach. In this study, I focused on effective teaching practices with technology in teaching mathematics to current secondary mathematics teachers to guide future mathematics teachers in adopting a technology-pedagogical approach. This research addressed secondary mathematics’ preparedness level to implement effective teaching methods in the digital age. A district from a Midwest state was used to collect data using a sequential explanatory method; a survey was sent to the secondary mathematics teacher with an option for those who wanted to participate in the interview. The results indicated that current teachers have some knowledge of technological tools but not to the full extent that they can integrate them into their daily instruction. The study suggested that current secondary mathematics teachers require ongoing professional development to enhance their technological knowledge and use it effectively.
