Examining Indonesian secondary school mathematics teachers' instructional practice in the integration of technology
Examining Indonesian secondary school mathematics teachers' instructional practice in the integration of technology
The Indonesian secondary school mathematics curriculum advocates the use of technology in teaching and learning of mathematics. The previous studies paid less attention to what type of digital tools that the teachers used and how they integrated them in the mathematics teaching. This study aimed at investigating Indonesian secondary school mathematics teachers' instructional practices in the integration of digital technology in classrooms and examined differences in teachers' instructional practice according to their background. It employed a quantitative approach whereby were collected through a questionnaire survey. The data were gathered from 341 mathematics teachers in 93 secondary schools. This study suggested that the integration of digital technology has emerged in Indonesian secondary school mathematics classrooms. However, it was also found that most of the teachers did not use the technology in constructive ways. The result also revealed that female teachers have better instructional practices in the use of digital technology than male teachers. In addition, teachers' levels of education play an important role on their instructional practices with digital technologies. This study suggests that it needs a radical improvement of the integration of technology in Indonesian secondary school mathematics classrooms in order to achieve the curriculum objective. Therefore, further research and development on this issue is needed in the country.

Abstract
The Indonesian secondary school mathematics curriculum advocates the use of technology in teaching and learning of mathematics. The previous studies paid less attention to what type of digital tools that the teachers used and how they integrated them in the mathematics teaching. This study aimed at investigating Indonesian secondary school mathematics teachers' instructional practices in the integration of digital technology in classrooms and examined differences in teachers' instructional practice according to their background. It employed a quantitative approach whereby were collected through a questionnaire survey. The data were gathered from 341 mathematics teachers in 93 secondary schools. This study suggested that the integration of digital technology has emerged in Indonesian secondary school mathematics classrooms. However, it was also found that most of the teachers did not use the technology in constructive ways. The result also revealed that female teachers have better instructional practices in the use of digital technology than male teachers. In addition, teachers' levels of education play an important role on their instructional practices with digital technologies. This study suggests that it needs a radical improvement of the integration of technology in Indonesian secondary school mathematics classrooms in order to achieve the curriculum objective. Therefore, further research and development on this issue is needed in the country.
