Abstract

This chapter will highlight the interest and necessity of considering a plurality of perspectives (or dimensions) when addressing the issue of the integration of information and communication technologies (JCT) into the teaching and learning of mathematics. It will also show how this multidimensional perspective can be efficient for an analysis of the existing literature.

The paper draws on a meta–study of a comprehensive corpus of publications about research and innovation in the world–wide field of the integration of JCT from 1994 to 1998, For this study we built a multidimensional framework and a data analysis procedure, and obtained a synthesis of literature. The study of ten research papers that the statistical procedure made appear as paradigmatic examples helped to discern an evolution towards more awareness of the complexity of JCT integration. The multidimensional framework aims to provide innovators and researchers with a set of references to deal with this complexity
