Abstract

This paper records the Plenary Panel discussion held at the third conference on Mathematics Education in the Digital Era, which was held from 7-9th September 2022 in Nitra, Slovakia. The panel discussion, which was chaired by Eirini Geraniou, invited the three panelists (Ivan Kalaš, Iveta Kohanová and Piers Saunders) to give perspectives on Computational Thinking (CT) in relation to mathematics education from three different country perspectives (Slovakia, Norway and England). The discussion addresses important differences between computational thinking and mathematical thinking, the challenges associated with the design and assessment of curricular, and the implications for teachers and their ongoing professional learning. It concludes with a reaction by Alison ClarkWilson, who highlights the importance of epistemologically grounded design principles for new curricular, the related technologies, tasks and assessments.
