Abstract
Mathematics Education in the Digital Era is a title that implies the ubiquity of digital technology in our everyday lives. In fact, it can be argued that digital technology is already ubiquitous for many stakeholders in mathematics education. Volume 2 of this series is titled The Mathematics Teacher in the Digital Era, which implies an exploration of the mathematics teacher as individual agent or actor in the experience of teaching and learning mathematics. What is exciting is the book editors’potentially unintended insights into teachers’afective sense, their beliefs, and their subsequent decisions for future pedagogical effort.
Rśumé
L’enseignement des mathématiques à l’ère digitale est un titre qui implique l’omniprésence des technologies digitales dans notre vie quotidienne. En effet, on peut affirmer que les technologies digitales sont déjà omniprésentes pour de nombreux intervenants en enseignement des mathématiques. Le Volume 2 de cette série a pour titre L’enseignant des mathématiques à l’ère digitale, ce qui implique qu’on y analyse l’enseignant des mathématiques en tant qu’agent ou acteur individuel dans son expérience d’enseignement et d’apprentissage des mathématiques. Ce qui est intéressant, ce sont les nouvelles perspectives ouvertes par les auteurs, peut-être sans le vouloir, sur les sentiments affectifs des enseignants, leurs convictions et leurs décisions futures sur le plandes efforts pédagogiques.
