Title or topic of the issue paper: Is Opportunities or Challenge to use ICT in Mathematics Education?

(This issue paper is based on class -10 of a government school, Mangal Higher Secondary School, Kirtipur Kathmandu )


Context/Background:
Information and communication technologies in education refer to teaching and
learning of subject matter that enables understanding the functions and effective use of
information and communication technologies (ICTs). ICT is a dynamism that has changed many aspects of the way we live. The impact of ICT across the past decades has been enormous. When we look at education, there seems to have been lack of influence and far less change than other fields have experienced. A number of people have attempted to explore this lack of activity and influence even we have more opportunities.

Here, Opportunities means getting a chance to learn and teach using ICT. Learning depends on the learners‟ opportunity that means if the learners do not get the opportunities to  construct new knowledge then they cannot achieve the goals of learning. Therefore, in teaching learning activities, using ICT is an opportunity for learners as well as facilitators to develop, construct, innovate and explore the new ideas and knowledge of Mathematics. We cannot focus only on opportunities because we have numerous challenges to use ICT. In this paper, the challenge means such types of factors that discourage to use ICT in education especially in mathematics classroom. We are trying to analyze the discouraging factors that hinder the use of ICT in mathematics classroom in the context of Nepal.
We as students as well as teacher of mathematics need to think how we can
Create environment to learn the absolute and abstract form of mathematics in visualizing and realizing way. To eliminate that problem, we can expect the use of ICT in mathematics classroom (i.e. mathematics teaching learning activities).

Keywords: ICT, Mathematics Education, Opportunities, Challenges.
Objective:
1.      To identify the opportunity using ICT in mathematics education.
2.      To find out the student faced challenges using ICT in mathematics education

Methodology:
1.      Desk review:
To prepare this proposal I  will review some documents which  are listed below:
a)      Seminar Paper (Second National Conference on Mathematics Education
10-5-2015, Pokhara, Nepal, Bibek Dahal)
b)     ICT Master Plan
c)      SSRP, SSDP Report
d)     National Information and Communication Technology Policy, 2015
2.      Experience-based evidence:
This issue paper is based on class -10 of a government school. For this Paper I will collect the data or information from the following sources:
a)      Telephone Interview (I will take interview with principal by telephone  and collect the information about the given topic.)
b)     Focus Group Discussion (I will conduct the focus group discussion with students of grade-10 and teachers on the given topic and I will identify the challenges faced by them in the field of using  ICT in mathematics education.)
c)      Face to Face Interview with ICT Teacher (I will collect some information from  ICT teacher about the opportunity and Challenge of using ICT in mathematics Education.)
d)     Observation of Availability of ICT lab (I will observe and collect the information of  the availability of ICT lab in school and how they used ICT in teaching mathematics.)
e)      Opinion of the Student (I will collect the information from the student by suing the questioner  what are they have gain opportunity and faced challenge while suing ICT in mathematics education.) 
3.      Collection of photograph, artifact, audio and clips, newspaper cutting etc. whichever application.
Literature: Seminar Paper (Second National Conference on Mathematics Education 10-5-2015, Pokhara, Nepal, Bibek Dahal), ICT Master Plan, SSRP Report, SSDP Report and National Information and Communication Technology Policy, 2015
