Abstract

The use of dynamic geometry environments to support the teaching and learning of geometry has been relatively well-researched. However, by comparison, teachers’ competencies in using digital technology in their teaching of geometry have not been widely investigated. We carried out a smallscale research study investigating mathematics teachers’ competencies in teaching with technology. We designed and trialled a prototype survey for assessing teachers’ mathematical digital competency (MDC) with 114 preservice and early career teachers, supported by follow-up interviews with six survey respondents. In this paper, we focus on analysing teachers’ responses to one survey item designed to capture teachers’ competencies in using dynamic geometry software in the teaching of circle theorems. We present initial findings and discuss what this reveals about teachers’ competencies in using digital technology in their teaching of geometry.
