Abstract
We report on a research study that investigated interactions between students, teachers, and technologies in senior secondary mathematics classrooms. Based on data from classroom observation and lesson videotapes, student interviews and questionnaires, we propose four roles for technology in relation to such interactions: master, servant, partner, and extension of self. We illustrate the roles of technology by presenting episodes from lessons that were focused around application tasks. Our analysis shows how different technologies as utilised by individual students, mediated the students’ social interactions, and were integrated into the production of mathematical arguments. Implications for the approach to applications and modelling activities are discussed.
