Abstract

This paper investigates how to reduce the theory-practice gap by making research the object of discussion for researchers and practitioners. The study is situated in the wicked problem of using digital technology in mathematics education. To investigate this problem a workshop of the format data-sprint is conducted, investigating the challenges and potentials related to facilitating workshops interpreting visualizations of research literature to support teacher dialogue of digital technology in mathematics education. Two potentials and two challenges are identified in the analysis.
