Abstract

This study employed latent profile analysis to explore the reasons why preservice mathematics teachers endorse the integration of technology in mathematics classes. The sample included 91 secondary mathematics preservice teachers, from two normal universities in Taiwan. Four profiles were characterized as active integrated-oriented, practical integrated-oriented, operation emphasized-oriented, and traditional instruction-oriented. The percentages of active integrated-oriented and operation emphasized-oriented profiles were both around 32%, while that of traditional instruction-oriented profile was only 12%. Most preservice teachers appreciated using technology to innovate math classes, however, they are more easily attracted by the apparent functions of integration than the implicit functions inside students’ mind.
