Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:
• Demonstrate knowledge of the TPACK and SAMR theoretical models and their application in mathematics teaching.
• Use and evaluate digital and interactive tools for mathematics instruction.
• Actively engage in the selection, creation, and implementation of digital teaching materials in the mathematics classroom.
• Utilize artificial intelligence to design activities and scenarios for differentiated instruction.
• Identify and ethically address issues related to the use of artificial intelligence in education.
Course Content (Syllabus)
The course explores the use of new technologies and artificial intelligence in mathematics teaching, grounded in the theoretical frameworks of TPACK (Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge) and the SAMR Model (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition). Students will become familiar with the integration of digital tools in mathematics instruction, such as Wolfram Alpha and GeoGebra, as well as educational games (e.g., Prodigy, SplashLearn) that support mathematical thinking through visual and interactive representations. In parallel, they will learn to use artificial intelligence tools, including Large Language Models (e.g., ChatGPT, Perplexity) and Adaptive Learning Technologies (e.g., DreamBox, Khan Academy), for designing and enriching educational activities. Particular emphasis is placed on personalized learning and the development of differentiated instructional plans that address diverse student learning needs. The course also incorporates critical discussions on the ethical implications of AI in education, its role in relation to the role of the teacher, and the importance of educators’ critical thinking when using such technologies. The course has a strong practical component, as students will design and adapt mathematics activities using digital tools and analyze their contribution to the learning process.
