Edmodoing the Concept Attainment in Mathematics and Pedagogy: A Participant Observation Exploratory Study

Summary/Abstract: This paper is an attempt to gain insight into the use and application of Edmodo (an Information and Communication Technologies -ICT- platform) in facilitating learning and pedagogy of mathematics in general and concept attainment in mathematics in specific, over the period of almost four long years. The study is a type of interdisciplinary study dealing with ICT-media from the Technology discipline, concept attainment and method from the Education discipline and mathematics from the Sciences discipline. The study follows an exploratory research design through participatory observation mode where qualitative data collection and analysis was followed by the quantitative data collection and analysis. During the study, after developing the validated ICT-based content and applying it via Edmodo, observation schedule, questionnaire and observation reflection schedule were used, all developed and validated by the researcher, upon the learning facilitators to obtain qualitative and quantitative data. The study reveals some valuable and extraordinary results regarding the use and application of ICT-based platform Edmodo at the pedagogic and the use and application of ICT-based platform Edmodo within the pedagogic dimension, as well as when facilitating learning.
