‘Research Report on Inspiring Students and their Teachers with TI-Nspire'

Recently the University of Aberdeen has published a report entitled "Teachers’ views on dynamically linked multiple representations and relational understanding of mathematics - an investigation into the use of TI-Nspire™ in Scottish secondary schools" by Dr Allan Duncan. The report presents findings from one year research project carried out over 2008-09 which explored whether the use of the TI-Nspire™ technology enhanced students’ understanding of the mathematics when being experienced in multiple representations and whether teachers changed their classroom practice in accordance with the Curriculum for Excellence.

An electronic copy of the report is available at:
