Transforming Higher Mathematics Teaching Through Computer Technology

This study investigates the impact of computer technology on higher mathematics teaching and learning, focusing on student attitudes and academic performance. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research involved 210 high school students and 15 mathematics teachers. Data were collected through a combination of semi-structured questionnaires, student test scores, interviews, and classroom observations. The findings indicate that the integration of computer technology leads to significant improvements in students' academic performance and fosters positive attitudes towards mathematics. Students using technological tools showed greater engagement, better understanding of complex concepts, and increased confidence in problem-solving. No significant gender differences were observed in attitudes towards technology use. However, challenges such as resource accessibility and the need for teacher training were identified. The study concludes with recommendations for effectively incorporating computer technology into higher mathematics education to enhance learning outcomes and student engagement.
