How Does Mathematics Education Evolve in the Digital Era?

Abstract

In preparation for this work, we have looked into some recent curricula ideas, the international assessments (e.g., PISA), as well as the literature on the 21st century skills. For example, The New Vision for Education: Unlocking the Potential of Technology, 2015 report of the World Economic Forum lists 16 most critical 21st century skills (e.g., literacy, numeracy, ICT literacy, scientific literacy, financial literacy, cultural and civic literacy, critical thinking/problem-solving, creativity, communication, collaboration, curiosity, persistence/grit, adaptability, leadership, social and cultural awareness, and initiative), and proposes that technology is used to help people achieve these skills. How do these skills interact with ones, more specifically related to mathematics as a subject?
