Abstract

We conducted semi-structured interviews with three experienced mathematics education researchers with great expertise in the design and use of digital technologies, including programming skills, to investigate their views and perceptions on computational thinking (CT) and its impact on mathematical learning. In this paper we report on our findings from one of them, Mark, and we suggest ways for adapting the very recent Mathematical Digital Competency (MDC) framework to encompass CT practices and dispositions. Our aim is to offer insights into how CT is perceived and understood by him, by prompting him to reflect on his own CT practices and competencies. We offer suggestions for an MDC framework for mathematics teacher educators that encompasses CT.
