Math Teachers' Attitudes towards Photo Math Application in Solving Mathematical problem Using Mobile Camera
This study aimed at finding out mathematics teachers attitudes towards photo math application in solving mathematical problems using mobile camera, as well as identifying significant differences in their attitudes according to their stage of teaching, educational qualifications, and teaching experience. The study used judgmental/purposive sampling method which enabled the research to choose 127 male and female teachers from Directorate of Education District of BaniKinana in Irbid- Jordan, during the academic year 2014/2015; that fully filled in a 27-item survey instrument that was used to collect primary data. Secondary data was collected by using both printed and online literature. The study used both qualitative and quantitative techniques such as Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and ANOVA for data analysis. The findings revealed high positive mathematics teachers attitudes towards photo math application in solving mathematical problems using mobile camera. The results also revealed no statistically significant differences in teachersattitudes towards photo math due to their stage of teaching, and teaching experience, while these differenceswere observed due to teacher educational qualifications; in favor of those holding diploma degrees. Finally, the study recommends those in charge of planning mathematical curriculum to photo math application teaching from basic to secondary stage.
