Using of Wingeom Software in Geometry Learning to Improving the of Mathematical Representation Ability

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the use of Wingeom software in geometry learning in the Department of Mathematics Education. This type of research is quasi-experimental. This study examines the use of Wingeom software in geometry learning in the Department of Mathematics Education. The population in this study were all students of the Department of Mathematics Education under the Faculty Education and Teacher Training, Universitas Malikussaleh, and the samples were students of class A1 and class A2. The study was divided into two learning groups, namely the experimental group with the use of Wingeom Software and the control group with ordinary learning. This study begins with an instrument test which shows that (1) Validity indicates that the results are significant, (2) Very high reliability, (3) Good distinguishing power and (4) Moderate difficulty level. To test of homogeneity and normality that the data is homogeneous and normal. Based on the results of calculations using the t test at the significance level α = 0.05, obtained tcount of 4.59 with a significance value of 0.003 while the table of 1.68. Because tcount> ttable (3.127> 1.68) and significance <0.05 (0.003 <0.05). Then it can be concluded that the increase in the ability of mathematical representation of students who get learning with the use of Wingeom software is better than the ability of mathematical representation of students who get ordinary learning without Wingeom software.

The Development of Multiple Intelligence Based Textbook

“…Several previous studies, such as (Usmadi, 2020;Samsuriadi & Imron, 2019;Putriani & Rahayu, 2018;Ridhollah et al, 2021;Sarah et al, 2021) found that learning models greatly affect students' ability to learn mathematics. This is in line with research (Paroqi et al, 2020;Yarmasi et al, 2020;Maulidawati et al, 2020;and Fonna & Mursalin, 2019) that the learning process that occurs in the classroom is also strongly influenced by the model used by the teacher when conditioning students in learning mathematics. Along with the development of strategies, models, and methods of teaching teachers in learning theory where mathematics is one of the objects that receive the benefits of the new model.…”

Let your students cheat on mathematics online exams: students’ perspectives

“…Geogebra helped students visualize their understanding and verify the graphic sketches they have drawn. Several studies have shown the use of function graphs, such as Geogebra and Wingeom, makes abstract concepts into concrete (Tatar, 2013), improve representation skills (Fonna & Mursalin, 2018), assists students to comprehend geometric concepts better (Majerek, 2014;Nurdin et al, 2019;Zulnaidi & Zamri, 2017), and make them more independent (Saputra & Fahrizal, 2019).…”

The Effects of a Discovery Learning Module on Geometry for Improving Students’ Mathematical Reasoning Skills, Communication and Self-Confidence

“…The geometry topic is the mathematical subjects that students were challenging to understand (Hua, Tang, Sun & Han, 2019). The difficulty of understanding students in the topic of geometry lies in the basic concepts and the application of formulas in solving problems (Fonna & Mursalin, 2019). Students are not allowed to practice reasoning, which makes them find it difficult to answer complex questions and to propose solutions to mathematical problems.…”
