This study performed a scoping review of the literature concerning the use of technology in mathematics education published between January 1981 and March 2022 to explore research trends. After the defined filtering process, we retrieved 2,433 articles from , , and databases and employed Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling to extract key terms and topics from the selected articles. The analysis focused on the four aspects: (a) evolution of research trends of technology use in mathematics education, (b) frequently used words, (c) latent research topics, and (d) research trends for particular topics. The findings revealed a steady increase in research interest, and the combination of frequently used words in the article abstracts suggests popular research topics that have been studied during the set period. The results of LDA identified seven research topics that were not precisely aligned with those identified in prior studies on mathematics education or educational technology. This implied technology integration into mathematics education as a distinctive research area. Over time, the seven topics showed different research trends (stable, fluctuating, increasing, and decreasing). We discussed plausible reasons for these varied patterns and proposed implications based on the research findings.
本研究对1981年1月至2022年3月期间发表的有关技术在数学教育中的应用的文献进行了范围综述，以探索研究趋势。经过确定的筛选过程，我们从 、 和 数据库中检索到2433篇文章，并采用潜在狄利克雷分配（LDA）主题建模从所选文章中提取关键术语和主题。分析集中在四个方面：（a）数学教育中技术应用研究趋势的演变，（b）常用词汇，（c）潜在研究主题，以及（d）特定主题的研究趋势。研究结果显示研究兴趣稳步上升，文章摘要中常用词汇的组合表明了在设定时间段内研究的热门主题。LDA的结果确定了七个研究主题，这些主题与先前关于数学教育或教育技术的研究中确定的主题并不完全一致。这意味着将技术整合到数学教育中是一个独特的研究领域。随着时间的推移，这七个主题呈现出不同的研究趋势（稳定、波动、上升和下降）。我们讨论了这些不同模式的合理原因，并根据研究结果提出了相关启示。
