Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to explore the effects of technology integration in mathematics teaching to promote wellbeing of learners during Covid-19. An interpretive approach together with face-to- face interviews were utilized to gather information from nine participants who teach grade ten mathematics from each of the three senior secondary schools in the OR Tambo Coastal District. The findings revealed that several teachers lacked the formal technology expertise required to embrace online learning successfully and found a dearth of learner connections while teaching online. It was also found out that there was a lack of access to technology. It is recommended that the department of basic education should ensure that all learners have the data card loaded with uncapped data for learning to run smoothly. It was advised that professional development programs be established to train teachers in the design, use, and application of ICT technologies for online teaching.
