Examining Pre-service Teacher Belief in Technological for Teaching Mathematics

Oct 15, 2026

Technology serves as an effective learning tool, yet it can also create anxiety for teachers because it is difficult to follow. This qualitative study uses a multiple-case design to analyze pre-service primary teachers’ beliefs and awareness of technology’s role in mathematics learning, and to examine the relationship between those beliefs and teachers’ pedagogical abilities. Data involve observation, interviews, and field notes; analysis applies inductive and deductive methods. Results indicate teachers view technology as supporting audio-visual mathematics learning, enabling appropriate visualization, and showing a link between beliefs and pedagogical abilities.

# Examining Pre-service Teacher Belief in Technological for TeachingMathematics Andhin Dyas Fitriani图1,Darhim¹&Dadang Juandil Mathematics Education Program,Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia,Bandung,Indonesiaandhindyas@upi.edu Abstract.Technology is an effective learming tool.However,the existence of technology is ananxiety for teachers because it is difficult to follow.Therefore,this research intends to analyzeteacher beliefs and teacher awareness of the role of technology,as well as the relationshipbetween beliefs and teachers'pedagogical abilities regarding the use of technology inmathematics leaning.This research was designed using a qualitative approach with a multiplecase study design.Seven candidate elementary school teachers were involved in the research.Data collection was carried out through observation,interviews,and field notes.Data analysiswas carried out using inductive and deductive analysis methods.The results of research studiesshowed that(1)teachers believe that technology can help maximum mathematics leaming inthe form of audio and visual words;(2)teachers realize that technology is an appropriatevisualization tool in mathematics learning by adapting the form of visualization to be moredetailed and appropriate to the child's character;(3)there is a relationship between teacherbeliefs and candidate teachers'pedagogical abilities regarding the use of technology inmathematics leaming.So,it can be concluded that teachers are confident and aware thattechnology has broad benefits in mathematics leaming through its visualization form and thereis a relationship between beliefs and teachers'pedagogical abilities in using technology.

Technology is something that is developing rapidly and has penetrated all areas of life(Litvinenko,2020).Technology must be optimized precisely and wisely.The use of technologybecomes ahuman bridge to help with daily activities.The education sectoris one that benefitsfrom technological developments.In education,technology plays a role as a means ofdistributing material in various forms(Zhou et al.,2020).The involvement of technology inlearning helps teachers in delivering material and increases students'learning motivation(Beardsley et al.,2021).Currently,teachers are required to utilize technology in learning.Thesedemands are packaged in an educational regulation and curriculum.Teachers must masterall the features available in learning technology,such as in mathematics learning.Teachers Andhin Dyas Fitriani et al.,Examining Pre-service Teacher Belief in Technological.. can use Maple,Matlab,GeoGebra,Scaffolding,and many others in the context ofmathematics teaching. Learning mathematics is always considered a difficult subject because students have to do alot of calculations.Students b
