Dialogue in digitally rich mathematics lessons in lower secondary school in Iceland

This study examines the nature of educational dialogue and its role in shaping interactions, teaching, and learning. It explores how digital tools might contribute to these dialogues in mathematics classrooms and how they might influence teaching and learning dynamics. The research is based on an ethnographic approach, with data collected over a three-year period through video recordings in a digitally rich classroom.
