Embracing the Trend of Educational Digitalization to Enhance the Quality and Effectiveness of Basic Mathematics Teaching

Abstract

Educational digitalization is a trend in both domestic and international educational development. The importance of educational digitalization lies in its potential to improve the efficiency, engagement, and equity of education. However, it also encounters challenges in terms of macro-planning, support infrastructure, and regional balance, which necessitate proactive responses. As a crucial contributor to the process of educational digitalization, the community of educators, notably those teaching foundational mathematics, must adapt to the evolving landscape. By shifting their mindsets, enhancing their capabilities, and guiding students accordingly, they can effectively enhance the quality and effectiveness of teaching, thereby making substantial contributions to the advancement of educational digitalization.
