Abstract
Improving individual learning performance, helping teachers to organize good lesson
plan, and increasing students study engagement in modern times require the use of
technological resources in the learning environment. Technology has transformed
mathematics education from static to a dynamic environment where teachers and
students interact to share knowledge and ideas. This study purposed to investigate
technology integration in teaching and learning of mathematics in higher educational
institutions during the Covid-19 era. The study was on the premise of the Pragmatist
paradigm and employed the Sequential Explanatory design of the mixed method
approach. A sample of 1500 (1470 found to be valid) respondents were selected using
the Proportional Stratified sampling from three (3) tertiary institutions. Ten (10)
additional respondents were selected for the qualitative data analysis using the
Judgmental Sampling. Thus, the study used questionnaire and a structured interview
to collect data. Some items were adopted from Technology Acceptance model (TAM)
to suit the objectives of the study and other concepts reviewed. The findings of the
study showed that, availability and accessibility of technological tools have
significant effect on quality of learning mathematics. Again, Covid-19 pandemic has
direct and indirect significant effect on quality of learning mathematics.
