1 EST - Etudes sur les sciences et les techniques

In this chapter we investigate the evolution of research in mathematics education related to digital resources as an essential element of the external context for mathematics teachers’ professional activity. In the relevant research literature, we identified different themes and different kinds of evolution. We investigate the evolution of research with respect to educational policies related to digital resources, and to teacher integration of digital resources, including digital assessment. We also analyze the evolution of research concerning the quality of digital curriculum resources, and discuss emerging research questions related to mathematics and programming; to collective dimensions of teachers’ work with digital resources; and about the COVID-19 pandemic consequences. The different kinds of research developments are a result of evolution in the external context, or from more general trends in the research in mathematics education. We finally discuss possible directions for future research.
