Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The potential benefits of ICT have been identified by many countries in the world. Therefore, the essential requirement for schools and educational institutions have been made to expand teaching and learning environments and increasing the demand for education and training in most of the countries in the world. Geometry is a very significant study in the field of mathematics. It is a subset of the mathematics subject which associates with culture, history, art and design. Furthermore, geometry is commonly used to model the real-world concept which has many applications in solving practical problems. The methodical group geometrical knowledge of the ancient Greeks is one of the major successes of classical geometry. Learning geometry makes the secondary students develop some basic skills which include logical thinking abilities; spatial intuition about the universe; comparing and generalising; being careful and patient; as well as the reading and comprehension of geometrical concepts. The dynamic geometry computer software allows the users to construct geometry figures or shapes and to measure the variables of the shapes and determine the properties of them. It allows the users to; drag the figures through the screen, make geometric constructions and explain the facts about these constructions as well as test them so that the user will generalise the facts. The interactive learning environments of dynamic geometry computer software support the teaching and learning of abstract geometrical concepts in mathematics. The dynamic geometry computer software influenced students in gaining student-centered education and self-regulation. The integration of dynamic geometry computer software in learning geometry will enhance the construction knowledge in addition to the communication and dissemination of ideas in the geometry classroom.

Download or read book Students Learning Experiences When Using a Dynamic Geometry Software written by Dejene Girma Denbel and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2015-02-27 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students learning experiences were investigated in geometry lesson when using Dynamic Geometry Software (DGS) tool in geometry learning in 25 Ethiopian secondary students. The research data were drawn from the used worksheets, classroom observations, results of pre- and post-test, a questionnaire and interview responses. I used GeoGebra as a DGS tool with research questions relating to the aspects of (1) motivation, (2) interactions and discussions, (3) student-centered learning, (4) conceptual understanding, and (5) Problem _solving strategies. The questions were embedded in an instructional research intervention. The intervention comprised the use of worksheets and applets I developed through GeoGebra. The results showed that the use of a DGS tool with the presence of other factors, such as group work and the use of worksheets brought about certain changes in students 'learning experiences' of the geometrical concepts. Students were well motivated, but discussion and interaction were limited (due to time limitations) and results on students 'conceptual understanding' and problem-solving strategies were only partly satisfactory, but improved during the intervention.

Download or read book The Effect of Dynamic Geometry Software on Student Mathematics Teachers Spatial Visualization Skills written by Bulent Guven and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geometry is the study of shape and space. Without spatial ability, students cannot fully appreciate the natural world. Spatial ability is also very important for work in various fields such as computer graphics, engineering, architecture, and cartography. A number of studies have demonstrated that technology has an important potential to develop spatial skills. In the present study, the effect of dynamic geometry software (DGS) Cabri 3D on student mathematics teachers' spatial skills was examined. The study used a one-group pretest-intervention-posttest experimental design. In this context, 40 student mathematics teachers took "Purdue Spatial Visualization" (PSV) test as pretest at the beginning of the study, and then some implementations were carried out with these students by using Cabri 3D software for 8 weeks. The PSV test was retaken by students at the end of the study. That if there was a meaningful difference between the pretest and posttest results was examined by using paired sample t test. The findings demonstrated that these computer supported activities contributed to development student mathematics teachers' spatial skills. (Contains 3 table and 8 figures.).

This book was released on 2015 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first objective of this study was to investigate the effects of the use of Geometer's Sketchpad (GSP) on students' achievement on traditional assessments in Geometry. The second objective of the study was to determine the impact of technology on students' attitudes towards geometry. This research was conducted in four geometry classes at a secondary school in Connecticut. Eighty-six students participated in this study. The control group was composed of one honors level class with 23 students and one academic level class with 19 students and was taught geometric constructions through the use of traditional tools, including a pair of compasses, straightedge, pencil, and paper. The experimental group was composed of one honors level class with 23 students and one academic level class with 21 students and was taught geometric constructions through the use of GSP. Each group performed constructions of the same geometric figures and were asked to make conjectures based on their findings. All students in the study were required to complete the same assessment and the same questionnaire describing their experience. This exploratory study did not find enough significant evidence to show that all high school students achieve at a higher rate through the use of GSP. There was some evidence that suggests that males' achievement might be higher through the use of GSP and further research should be done to investigate this conjecture. Across the board, students showed an increase in enjoyment and felt that their results were more accurate through the use of technology. Students also felt that their conjectures are easier to verify through technology rather than through the use of hand tools. These preliminary findings will be able to focus the attention of teachers what aspects they will have to consider if they want to implement dynamic geometry software in their classrooms. This exploratory study yielded preliminary data and could be used in the design of a full scale study.

This book was released on 1998-03-31 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years geometry seems to have lost large parts of its former central position in mathematics teaching in most countries. However, new trends have begun to counteract this tendency. There is an increasing awareness that geometry plays a key role in mathematics and learning mathematics. Although geometry has been eclipsed in the mathematics curriculum, research in geometry has blossomed as new ideas have arisen from inside mathematics and other disciplines, including computer science. Due to reassessment of the role of geometry, mathematics educators and mathematicians face new challenges. In the present ICMI study, the whole spectrum of teaching and learning of geometry is analysed. Experts from all over the world took part in this study, which was conducted on the basis of recent international research, case studies, and reports on actual school practice. This book will be of particular interest to mathematics educators and mathematicians who are involved in the teaching of geometry at all educational levels, as well as to researchers in mathematics education.
