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 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because of the development of using new technologies like computer science in mathematics education, it is important for us to rethink about one of the critical terms for teacher's practice in classroom: teacher knowledge. There are many researches pay attention to definite what is teacher knowledge or what kind of knowledge teacher needs. As some researchers said we need to take technologies into account if we want to describe teacher knowledge. Teacher knowledge can be reflected in their class behavior. So this research aims at analyzing teacher's didactical practice with one of the important technologies: dynamic geometry software. Taking instrumental orchestration as critical theoretical framework, this study describes teacher's activities with dynamic geometry software in the classroom based on the view of their knowledge. It chose 5 Chinese teachers and 1 French teacher to observe their mathematics lessons in order to analyze their knowledge shown in their practice with technology. The main question of this research is as following:1. 1 What can we learn about the teachers' knowledge shown in their instrumental orchestration by contrasting the different usage of DGS between Chinese and French teachers? 1. 1.1 What can we learn from analyzing the roles of DGS in mathematics tasks? 2. 1.2 What can we learn from tasks organization by contrasting the teaching practice between Chinese and French teachers?3. 1.3 What can we learn the teacher-student interaction by contrasting French and Chinese teachers?In order to answer these questions, I focus on the roles of dynamic geometry software in mathematics tasks and the questions or feedbacks in the teacher-student interaction. Dynamic geometry software plays two main roles in mathematics teaching and learning: amplifier and generator. This kind of software also affects teacher-student interaction. Teacher would show their different focus by using software for example only focus on mathematics or focus on mathematics related to software. As designed, this research chooses several mathematics teachers from two different contexts to contrast their knowledge which reflected into teaching practice in the situation created by technologies. I altogether observed and recorded 11 lessons for them. They would also be interviewed before and after their mathematics lessons which would be recorded by the author, to make deep understanding of their opinions on DGS.Based on the analysis, different teachers show their different views on the roles of dynamic geometry software. Most of them see software as an amplifier of presenting contents during the teaching process, although the software can change learners' strategy to solve the tasks. And during the interaction, most teachers focus on mathematics contents without any technology, although they choose different ways to orchestrate lessons. There are many factors which may affect teachers' using of software, like physical configuration, ability of students, teaching objective, examination, which talked by teachers during the interview and also need to much further studies for researchers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The digital revolution necessitates, but also makes possible, radical changes in how and what we learn. This book describes a set of innovative educational research projects at the MIT Media Laboratory, illustrating how new computational technologies can transform our conceptions of learning, education, and knowledge. The book draws on real-world education experiments conducted in formal and informal contexts: from inner-city schools and university labs to neighborhoods and after-school clubhouses. The papers in this book are divided in four interrelated sections as follows: * Perspectives in Constructionism further develops the intellectual underpinnings of constructionist theory. This section looks closely at the role of perspective-taking in learning and discusses how both cognitive and affective processes play a central role in building connections between old and new knowledge. * Learning through Design analyzes the relationship between designing and learning, and discusses ways that design activities can provide personally meaningful contexts for learning. This section investigates how and why children can learn through the processes of constructing artifacts such as games, textile patterns, robots and interactive devices. * Learning in Communities focuses on the social aspects of constructionist learning, recognizing that how people learn is deeply influenced by the communities and cultures with which they interact. It examines the nature of learning in classroom, inner-city, and virtual communities. * Learning about Systems examines how students make sense of biological, technological, and mathematical systems. This section explores the conceptual and epistemological barriers to learning about feedback, self-organization, and probability, and it discusses new technological tools and activities that can help people develop new ways of thinking about these phenomena.

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 2013-05-31 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematics is, by its very nature, an abstract discipline. However, many students learn best by thinking in terms of tangible constructs. Enhancing Mathematics Understanding through Visualization: The Role of Dynamical Software brings these conflicting viewpoints together by offering visual representations as a method of mathematics instruction. The book explores the role of technology in providing access to multiple representations of concepts, using software applications to create a rich environment in which a student’s understanding of mathematical concepts can flourish. Both students and instructors of mathematics at the university level will use this book to implement various novel techniques for the delivery of mathematical concepts in their classrooms. This book is part of the Research Essential collection.

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.
