Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Digital technologies have become increasingly common in mathematics education, but their use in calculus varies across educational settings. This study examines the factors associated with digital technology integration in mathematics education using calculus teaching as the specific context of the study. The study involved 176 participants, including 36 mathematics educators and 140 learners, and the survey data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, principal component analysis (PCA), and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The PCA identified five exploratory components explaining 35.52% of the total variance, with statistically significant differences found for three of them. These components reflected professional and institutional characteristics, perceptions of mathematical content and instructional decisions, and professional development and methodological support. Generally, it was found that digital tools were positively perceived in terms of representing mathematical concepts and simplifying abstract ideas. At the same time, their reported use varied across educational contexts, suggesting that access to technology alone does not determine how it is incorporated into calculus teaching and learning. The results point to the importance of educational and professional factors when considering the role of digital technologies in mathematics education.
