The presented study analyzes the usage of the didactic efficiency of multiple representations in a computer environment in learning absolute value functions and equations. It is known that the axis of symmetry of the graph of the absolute value function is the y-axis. The research was applied at the University of Novi Sad, Serbia. The data were collected by testing a group of 226 students: major chemistry and physics students at the beginning of their common calculus course. The students worked individually in two groups: the experimental and control group. The experimental group of students practiced using GeoGebra software, and the control group of students practiced using paper and pencil. At the end of the experiment, which lasted for two weeks (six school classes), both groups were tested with a post-test of knowledge without using a computer. It can be concluded that GeoGebra software had a positive influence on the students’ achievements in solving absolute value equations.
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.
