Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Research on digital technology and technological environments for mathematics teaching and learning has undergone an important growth in the recent decades. The relation between technology and mathematics is not new, as historically, they have gone alongside by mutually influencing each other’s development. The case of mathematics education is rather different, because of the slow penetration of “new” technological tools in educational contexts until the 1980s. Nowadays, the rising of the mobile technologies, based on the internet, are providing new perspectives to classrooms all around the world and at all educational levels, from kindergarten to university. Nevertheless, technology development concerning mathematical education is not always equally sustainable. Different equipped classrooms with different qualitative and quantitative technologies may impact on the learning and teaching of mathematics, especially concerning critical mathematical contents, ages and cognitive processes.

The aim of this Special Issue is to contribute toward building a sustainable integration of the technology in mathematical educational contexts. To this end, we welcome research addressing the role of technological tools and their effect on the teaching and learning of mathematics. Approaches regarding to the study of motivational or social dimensions are also included in the scope of this issue. We also accept manuscripts that examine and discuss on sustainable technological developments, oriented as educational resources for mathematical content.

This article addresses the concept of transmedia learning proposed by Jenkins from the perspective of the teaching–learning of mathematics and the sustainability of this type of processes. To this purpose, a scoping review of the literature has been carried out on the Web of Science, Scopus, ERIC, Dialnet and Google Scholar databases. The research process started with a total of 42 scientific documents, and after the corresponding selection process, a total of 14 documents were obtained. From the analysis of the selected documents, it was found that the teaching–learning transmedia learning processes in mathematics tend to be simple and aimed at a very young audience (usually children). Furthermore, most of them are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4 concept of quality education. However, if sustainability is analysed from a more environmental perspective, none of them make explicit mention of it, although they tend to make responsible use of material resources. Full article
