Aims and scope
Digital Experiences in Mathematics Education is a forum for scholarly exchange devoted to debates on the nature of mathematical thinking and teaching, professional development, and the very nature of mathematical thought itself. It welcomes articles focused on how digital experiences can contribute to a more learnable and teachable mathematics. The use of digital tools, along with the possibility of experiencing mathematics in multi-modal, multi-sensory ways, invites reflection both upon the learners themselves and upon the diverse range of means through which they interact with the world. In digital environments, visual, auditory and dynamic means of expressing and exploring mathematics can increase the accessibility of mathematics to learners with (as well as without) disabilities. Authors may be informed by a variety of intellectual perspectives, including historical, philosophical, and psychological, and may use a variety of research methods. We invite both empirical and conceptual studies that contribute to the rethinking of mathematics and its learnability-teachability. We currently invite three different kinds of papers: Research reports, Snapshots, and Reviews.
Research reports
Research reports may be empirical or conceptual. We expect that authors will engage in the current conversations of the DEME journal, its predecessor IJCML, as well as the broader mathematics education community. We encourage authors to situate their work within broader concerns of mathematics education, including the ethical and aesthetic consequences of designing and promoting digital environments. We especially welcome research reports that deal with the deep issues of designing and using digital tools, the learning/teaching theory it realizes and investigates, the discipline-based connections it promotes, and the kind of classroom culture that is needed for its effective implementation. If you are submitting a research report, please select “research” in the SNAPP submission platform.
Snapshots
The Snapshots column is a place where scholars can write about mathematical explorations in which (potentially new) digital technologies figure significantly. These provide exemplars of mathematical experiences that highlight the particular (new) affordances of a digital technology and of the authors' use of the technology as a tool for their own learning or for the learning of others. A snapshot can include little-to-modest empirical content, but it should give a sense of feasibility, and argue for the rationale of some the digital tool in focus, exemplifying it’s working in some context. If you are submitting a snapshot, please select “brief report” in the SNAPP submission platform.
Book Reviews and Technology Reports
Digital Experiences in Mathematics Education underlines the importance of the design and implementation of digital mathematics educational platforms. Technological developments enable the harnessing of digital learning, gamification, connectivity, automatic assessment, learning analytics, artificial intelligence, and learning management systems, to the learning and teaching of mathematics. Reviews of books focusing on these areas are welcome. We also welcome Technology Reports about digital experiences in mathematics education, especially focusing on emerging technology. Please refer to the submission guidelines for details. If you are submitting a book review or a technology report, please select “review” in the SNAPP submission platform.
All contributions to this journal are peer reviewed.
