Focus and Scope

The International Journal of Didactic Mathematics in Distance Education (IJDMDE) focuses on publishing high-quality research and practical applications related to mathematics education in distance learning settings. The journal aims to serve as a platform for exchanging ideas, innovative strategies, and research findings that contribute to the development and advancement of mathematics education in virtual and remote environments. The scope of IJDMDE includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:
1. Integration of ICT in Mathematics Education
Research on how Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools can be effectively integrated into mathematics teaching and learning, including software, apps, and online platforms.
2. Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) in Mathematics Education
Studies on the application of AR and VR technologies to enhance the understanding of mathematical concepts, particularly in distance and blended learning environments.
3. Synchronous and Asynchronous Learning
Exploration of teaching and learning practices that occur in synchronous (real-time) and asynchronous (self-paced) settings, and their impact on mathematics education.
4. Development and Implementation of Digital Learning Modules
Research on designing, developing, and implementing digital instructional materials, e-learning modules, MOOCs, and interactive content for mathematics education.
5. Assessment and Evaluation in Distance Mathematics Education
Strategies, tools, and methods for assessing students’ mathematical understanding and skills in virtual learning environments.
6. Pedagogical Approaches and Didactic Frameworks
Studies on innovative didactical strategies, instructional models, and pedagogical frameworks that facilitate mathematics learning in distance education.
7. Student Engagement and Motivation
Research on factors influencing student engagement, motivation, and attitudes toward mathematics in online and blended learning environments.
8. Cognitive Skills in Mathematics
Exploration of the development of cognitive skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, reasoning, and creativity in mathematics learning, particularly in a distance education context. This includes studies on how digital tools and online learning environments can support the enhancement of students' cognitive abilities in mathematics.
9. Ethnomathematics
Research on the integration of ethnomathematics in distance education, exploring how cultural practices, traditions, and local knowledge can be incorporated into mathematics teaching and learning. This includes studies on how ethnomathematical approaches can be facilitated through digital platforms to enhance students' appreciation of mathematics in diverse cultural contexts.
10. Professional Development for Mathematics Educators: Research and case studies on professional development programs, training, and resources for mathematics teachers in distance education.
