Prospective High School Mathematics Teachers’ Attitudes
toward Integrating Computers in Their Future Teaching

Abstract
This article presents the findings of a study on the
attitudes of prospective high school mathematics teachers toward
integrating computers
into their future classroom teaching. Ninety-four prospective
teachers in four classes that focused on didactic and cognitive aspects
of
learning mathematics with computers were asked to present pro and
con arguments that would influence their use of computers in their
future
mathematics teaching. A two-dimensional framework is used to
present an analysis of the prospective teachers’ arguments, which were
collected
through written questionnaires and class discussions. One
dimension relates to the class components of a lesson: learner, teacher,
mathematical content, learning environment, and class atmosphere.
The second dimension is made up of the psychological aspects: cognitive,
affective, and social.
