2013

Abstract

ABSTRACT By decreasing the amount of contact time during the past fifteen years in mathematics education in senior secondary education in the Netherlands the issue of organizing this contact time more efficiently has become increasingly relevant. Research shows that feedback is one of the most powerful tools for enhancing learning achievements. At the same time educational technology emerged in the field. Especially mobile technology seems to be promising. The main research question to be answered in this chapter is: "What are the possibilities of a wireless classroom network to support upper secondary statistics teachers in giving feedback?" An intervention was designed and evaluated that tries to utilize a classroom network of graphing calculators for the sake of feedback. The intervention was (re)designed and evaluated in four empirical educational design research cycles. The study was carried out in the domain of descriptive statistics. The study explicates the conditions to be fulfilled for the intervention to be successful.
