Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of the intervention program of using information and communication technology in mathematics teaching.
Methods: This research, in terms of purpose, is applied; In terms of how to collect information and data, experimental, semi-experimental, with a pre-test-post-test plan with a control group; And in terms of the nature of the data, it was quantitative. The statistical population of the research is mathematics teachers educated at Farhangian University; and there were also the principals of the schools where these teachers were present. The statistical sample was 30 mathematics teachers in the academic year 2021-2022. Using a non-random sampling method, 15 individuals were placed in the experimental group, while 15 individuals were placed in the control group in the same manner. The control group continued its traditional method; however, the experimental group received an intervention program for the use of information and communication technology in teaching mathematics for 8 sessions and 2 hours with each session. In addition to descriptive statistics, Shapiro-Wilk test, regression slope homogeneity test, Mbox test, Levon test, multivariate covariance analysis (MANCOVA) test and Bonferroni post hoc test were used for data analysis.
Findings:The findings of the research showed that the intervention program for teaching the use of information and communication technology in mathematics teaching is effective.
Conclusion:It is concluded, for the effectiveness of mathematics teachers' performance; the institution of education should take steps towards the implementation of the intervention program for the use of information and communication technology
