Abstract

This paper presents a report on a work-in-progress on utilizing technology in ProbSET, a problem-solving professional development program for Filipino mathematics teachers. It is part of a study that aims to utilize technology to transcend geographical gaps and to create more equity of access in problem-solving professional development for teachers and training for students. The paper first discusses details about the program and the principles guiding its use of technology. It then shares initial findings from the first iteration during School Year 2022-2023. Results show that participants were satisfied with the implementation of digital communication platforms in the program, while suggesting more onsite activities in the future. Likewise, the use of software in designing and solving geometry problems was very well-received by the teachers. The paper concludes with a brief remark on the future directions of the program with respect to technology utilization.
