A META STUDY ON IC TECHNOLOGIES IN EDUCATION. Towards a multidimensional framework to tackle their integration Jean-baptiste Lagrange, IUFM de Bretagne (Rennes, France)

A survey of literature about educational uses of IC Technologies in mathematics education was done by a team issuing from five French laboratories working in various fields. A quantitative analysis of a corpus of 662 papers and two qualitative analyses of a sub-corpus helped to specify “dimensions” for the analysis of this very varied mass of innovation and research. Then, cluster analysis performed on each of the dimensions led to informative partitions. The method of analysis and the picture resulting from the partitions are offered as means to tackle the complex integration of IC Technologies into teaching and learning.
