Abstract
The recently proposed construct of mathematical digital competency (MDC) entails that student understanding of mathematical concepts may be almost inseparable from digital technology (DT) use, and that students might only be able to “do” mathematics with DT. We report on a case-study in which we investigated how two German pre-service-teachers (PSTs) think about the connected notion of MDC, and discuss their opposing views. We found that the belief that “mathematical understanding” is reflected by being able to explain and do mathematics without DT was a fundamental reason to oppose the notion of MDC for one of the two PSTs. In contrast, the other PST supported the notion of MDC by placing the DT in relation to other tools. We conclude that beliefs about MDC are likely a critical part of teachers’ own MDC.
