The study investigated the effects of technology-integrated guided inquiry (TGIBL), guided inquiry (GIBL), and traditional (TRAD) strategies on pre-service mathematics teachers’ attitudes towards geometry in college of teacher educations. The study employed nonequivalent quasi-experimental design with two experimental groups and control group. A three-stage sampling method was used. The experimental groups were exposed to TGIBL (n=48) and GIBL (n=38), while comparison group (n=30) with TRAD approach. The geometry attitude scale (GAS) questionnaire was the instrument employed to collect data from 116 PSMT. A one-way analysis of covariance, multiple comparison test and paired sample t-test were used to analyze data. The results of the study revealed that pre-service mathematics teachers who were exposed to the TGIBL had gained positive attitudes towards learning geometry than their counterparts exposed to the GIBL and TRAD, respectively. Moreover, the group taught with GIBL also shown to have a statistically significant difference with TRAD on attitude. Similarly, paired sample t-test also favored post-test score. Based on the results, TGIBL and GIBL approach should be embraced in the college of teacher educations to reinforce favorable attitudes towards learning geometry among pre-service mathematics teachers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
