The purpose of the training is to improve the professional competence of elementary school teachers in Information and Communication Technology (ICT)-based mathematics learning. Professional ICT competence is a teacher^s ability to utilize information and communication technology for learning. This competency can strengthen a teacher^s overall competency. Good ICT competencies for teachers include mastering the basics of ICT, deepening knowledge of ICT, creating knowledge with ICT, and sharing knowledge about ICT.
