Abstract
Mathematics education has been experiencing two rather distinct, yet related, ‘paradigm shifts’. The first is to do with the massive introduction of digital technologies (DT) in the teaching and learning of the subject (e.g., Trouche et al., 2013); the second is to do with a shift from the traditional focusing on mastering of skills and knowledge to being concerned with the possession and development of mathematical competencies (e.g., Stacey, 2010; Stacey & Turner, 2015). This book focuses on the potential interplay between these two paradigm shifts by considering the connection of different theoretical perspectives, e.g., by drawing on the notion of ‘networking of theories’ (e.g., Bikner-Ahsbahs & Prediger, 2010; Prediger et al., 2008).
