Innovative strategies on teaching plane geometry using Geogebra software in secondary schools in Delta state

Abstract

The study investigated the effect of innovative strategy in the teaching and learning of mathematics plane geometry using GeoGebra software. Two research questions and two null hypotheses guided the study. The study is quasi-experimental, using pre-test and posttest control design.

The Nature of Gender Difference in The Effectiveness of GeoGebra

“…As for the effectiveness of GeoGebra in teaching and learning of mathematics, all accessed articles conclusively stated that GeoGebra can improve students and pupils cognitive and affective dimensions. Six articles provide significant evidence that by using GeoGebra, learners' achievement can be enhanced from their geometric knowledge (Klemer & Rapoport, 2020), conceptual and procedural knowledge (Hutkemri & Zakaria, 2012), achievement in reflection topic (Seloraji & Eu, 2017), plane geometry (Onaifoh & Ekwueme, 2017), geometric transformation (Vasquez, 2015), and topic of function (Hutkemri & Zakaria, 2012). Other than cognitive domain, effective domain also affected positively using GeoGebra where learners' motivation (Emaikwu et al, 2015;Vasquez, 2015) and perception (Lee, 2011;Shahmohammadi & Kamalludeen, 2014) in learning mathematics have increased.…”

“…Table 2 shows conclusive findings, out of 11 articles, eight articles show no gender difference on the effectiveness of GeoGebra in the teaching and learning of mathematics (Doğan & Içel, 2011;Emaikwu et al, 2015;Hutkemri & Zakaria, 2021;Klemer & Rapoport, 2020;Lestari et al, 2019;Mukiri, 2012;Onaifoh & Ekwueme, 2017;Shahmohammadi & Kamalludeen, 2014), two articles show that male learners did better than female in learning mathematics by using GeoGebra (Lee, 2011;Vasquez, 2015) while only one shows the other side (Seloraji & Eu, 2017). The difference in gender differences between male and female was due to the human physical and psychological development (Nazila et al, 2019) while some scholars stating that the treatment and attention given by the teachers (Yuniarti, 2014), contributed to this result.…”

“…Based on Figure 3, from 2011 to 2020, the number of articles published in regards of the related topic keep decreasing. Two articles published respectively in 2011,2012, 2015 (Doğan & Içel, 2011 Hutkemri & Zakaria, 2012;Lee, 2011; Mukiri, 2012;Onaifoh & Ekwueme, 2017;Seloraji & Eu, 2017), one article published respectively in 2019 and 2020(Klemer & Rapoport, 2020;Lestari et al, 2019), while no article being published in 2013, 2016 and 2018.The distribution of origin in the accessed articles by country (and territory) of origin the study being conducted…”

Interaksi Manusia Dengan Komputer: Modul Matematika Dengan Aplikasi Geogebra

“…Geogebra adalah freeware yang dikembangkan oleh Hohenwarter & Fuchs [20]. Geogebra merupakan sebuah inovasi dalam pembelajaran matematika [21] yang membantu memvisualisasikan materi-materi geometri [22], [23]. Pemanfaatan Geogebra terbukti dapat mewujudkan pembelajaran yang efektif [19], [24].…”
