Abstract

In today's digital age, technology plays a vital role in enhancing mathematics education, equipping educators with tools to improve teaching effectiveness and student engagement. This study examined the digital literacy of mathematics educators in Teacher Education Institutions (TEIs) and its alignment with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) on quality education, which emphasizes equitable access to technology-driven learning. Using descriptive research design, survey questionnaire, and universal sampling, the findings revealed that limited digital infrastructure hindered teachers’ ability to fully integrate educational software, social media, and mathematics applications into instruction. Despite these challenges, educators demonstrated a strong awareness of digital literacy, with institutional factors, such as learning management systems, information systems, and computer laboratories, significantly influencing the adoption and utilization of digital tools. To bridge digital gaps and foster innovation in mathematics instruction, the study highlighted the need for expanded technological resources, structured digital literacy training, and strengthened policy support, ultimately improving teaching practices, student engagement, and overall education quality.
