Focus and Scope

Focus
The International Journal of Didactic Mathematics in Distance Education (IJDMDE) is dedicated to publishing innovative research in the field of didactic mathematics, designed and implemented within the context of distance learning, digital instruction, and technology-enhanced educational ecosystems. The journal explores how didactical theory, instructional design, and the integration of modern technologies can enhance conceptual understanding, mathematical representation, and problem-solving abilities. IJDMDE serves as a scholarly platform bridging theory and practice in technology-based mathematics education that is inclusive, adaptive, and transformative. IJDMDE places a strong emphasis on the use of emerging technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), flipped classroom models, interactive digital media, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the design and evaluation of mathematics learning across educational levels.
