Digital pedagogy in mathematical learning

Yahya Tabesh

pp. 669-678

Digital pedagogy is a learning paradigm that can allow learners to be active partners in discovering and developing their own mathematical knowledge. In this sense, Piaget's constructivist principles lay the foundation for developing digital pedagogy. In the paper that follows, we present a novel, intuitive, digital mathematical learning model. The model is focused on problem solving through computational thinking and is targeted to empower teenagers. More features and outcomes of this model will be discussed as well. As a foundation moving forward, the "use-modify-create" framework offers a helpful progression for developing computational thinking over time. It illustrates the benefits arising from engaging youth with progressively more complex tasks and giving them increasing ownership of their learning. The gained knowledge and skills of this cognitive learning both empower learners and enhance creativity. In its essence, we aim to develop the utopia of digital pedagogy in mathematical learning.
