Abstract

This study examines the relationship between experience and philosophical orientation by identifying preservice and practicing teachers' contextual frameworks related to calculator use as expressed through Habermasian interest categories. Findings indicate philosophical orientation pertaining to calculator use is a function of both experience and attitudes expressed through Habermasian interests. Existence of a developmental continuum involving experience and philosophical orientation implies that change efforts must address both experience with and philosophical orientation towards calculator use in the classroom.
