Abstract
This systematic review examines the integration and use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in mathematics education within sub-Saharan Africa from 2010 to 2020, aiming to identify trends and gaps in the research. The review analyzed 15 studies, focusing on research contexts, objectives, methodologies, and findings. The majority of studies employed quantitative research designs, with teachers and students as the primary participants. The findings highlight the emphasis on evaluating the effectiveness of ICT tools in mathematics teaching and learning. The review provides valuable insights for informing evidence-based decisions on ICT integration, adapting pedagogical approaches, and designing impactful teacher training programs. The review suggests that future research should incorporate qualitative or mixed-method approaches for a deeper understanding of ICT in mathematics education. Additionally, investigating the long-term impact of ICT integration on student learning outcomes is recommended.
