Abstract

This literature review explores the integration of technology in mathematics education as a response to the declining mathematical performance of Australian students. By analyzing studies published between 2000 and 2023, the review highlights the potential of digital tools, gamification, flipped classrooms, and immersive technologies like augmented and virtual reality to enhance student engagement, understanding, and academic performance. The findings emphasize the crucial role of teachers in effectively combining technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPACK) to maximize these benefits. However, challenges such as limited teacher proficiency in TPACK, technology access issues, and the need for self-regulated learning are identified as barriers to successful technology integration. The review calls for further research to develop strategies that enhance teacher training, address these challenges, and explore the long-term impacts of technology on student outcomes, ultimately aiming to improve mathematics education and foster deeper conceptual understanding among students.
