FROM CHALK TO CODE: THE PEDAGOGICAL REVOLUTION IN MATHEMATICS EDUCATION
Main Article Content
Abstract
The landscape of mathematics education has undergone a fundamental transformation from the 20th to the 21st century, driven by technological advancement and evolving pedagogical theory. This article charts this evolution, moving from the traditional, teacher-centered "chalk and blackboard" paradigm to a modern, interactive, and technology-infused approach. The traditional model, effective in building procedural fluency for an industrial age, is critically analyzed for its role in fostering math anxiety, neglecting conceptual understanding, and losing relevance for digital-native students. In contrast, the modern paradigm—characterized by student-centered learning, dynamic software, and artificial intelligence (AI)—is presented as a necessary response to these shortcomings. By promoting deep conceptual insight, personalized pathways, and real-world application, modern methods aim to cultivate resilient mathematical thinkers. This synthesis argues that the integration of technology, particularly AI-driven adaptive learning, represents not merely a change in tools but a profound pedagogical shift essential for preparing students with the 21st-century skills of critical thinking, adaptability, and problem-solving.
