Description: This study explores how a mathematics teacher educator prepares pre-service teachers to integrate instructional technology into mathematics teaching, using the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic (ATD) as a framework. A qualitative case study at a Ghanaian university discusses the MTE’s practices through video observations and a semi-structured interview. Findings reveal that representation of practice through modelling provided PSTs with practical examples of instructional integration, while decomposition allowed for refining lesson plans through structured analysis. However, the absence of approximations of practice due to time constraints limited experiential learning opportunities. The study emphasises the need for explicitly articulating meta-didactical logos and simulated teaching environments to bridge theory and practice.
