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.

Book excerpt: The book presents the Invited Lectures given at 13th International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME-13). ICME-13 took place from 24th- 31st July 2016 at the University of Hamburg in Hamburg (Germany). The congress was hosted by the Society of Didactics of Mathematics (Gesellschaft für Didaktik der Mathematik - GDM) and took place under the auspices of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI). ICME-13 – the biggest ICME so far - brought together about 3500 mathematics educators from 105 countries, additionally 250 teachers from German speaking countries met for specific activities. The scholars came together to share their work on the improvement of mathematics education at all educational levels.. The papers present the work of prominent mathematics educators from all over the globe and give insight into the current discussion in mathematics education. The Invited Lectures cover a wide spectrum of topics, themes and issues and aim to give direction to future research towards educational improvement in the teaching and learning of mathematics education. This book is of particular interest to researchers, teachers and curriculum developers in mathematics education.

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.).

Download or read book The Geometric Supposer written by Judah L. Schwartz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a case study of education reform and innovation using technology that examines the issue from a wide variety of perspectives. It brings together the views and experiences of software designers, curriculum writers, teachers and students, researchers and administrators. Thus, it stands in contrast to other analyses of innovation that tend to look through the particular prisms of research, classroom practice, or software design. The Geometric Supposer encourages a belief in a better tomorrow for schools. On its surface, the Geometric Supposer provides the means for radically altering the way in which geometry is taught and the quality of learning that can be achieved. At a deeper level, however, it suggests a powerful metaphor for improving education that can be played out in many different instructional contexts.

Download or read book ICT Information Communication Technologies in Mathematics Education written by Rafiq Mehdiyev and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional approaches in teaching geometry are pedagogically authoritative in nature and thus, students are not encouraged to question the validity or construction of geometrical entities. The use of technological resources with a variety of learning activities is usually limited. This book, therefore, describes a research project that studies the use of a Dynamic Geometry Software (DGS) tool in geometry learning and its implications for students' learning experiences. The dynamic and interactive medium of DGS provides students with an opportunity to share and discuss visually emergent geometrical phenomena. Apart from its implication for students' cognitive development, a DGS tool may have an effect on students' learning experiences in geometry classes from different aspects. The research analysis should help in picturing the effects of the use of a DGS tool with the presence of other factors, such as group work and the use of worksheets on certain changes in students' learning experiences of geometrical concepts. Therefore, this book should be especially useful to math teachers, educators or anyone else who may be interested in the use of computer technology in math education.
