Abstract
Professional development initiatives for teachers regarding technology use are often based on frameworks that lack cultural responsiveness. This is a common practice in many developing countries. Consequently, teachers use technological knowledge for personal genesis. This paper introduces a tentative culturally responsive professional development framework with holistic goals for progression, interpreted from the Vygotskian perspective of knowledge progression to scientific knowledge. The tentative framework was designed through (a) a critical analysis of existing technological integration frameworks for integrating technology and (b) collaboration with secondary school mathematics teachers on the idea of meaningful technological mathematics teaching. The analysis yielded a tentative progression tetrahedron professional development framework for teaching Mathematics meaningfully in secondary schools. The study also concludes that knowledge developed through learning progresses from a person’s spontaneous knowledge base to scientific knowledge. The framework aims to influence the perspectives of professional developers and mathematics educators concerning knowledge development, from the spontaneous knowledge level to the scientific knowledge level to facilitate the meaningful teaching of mathematics with technology.
