Implementation of Technology in Geometry Teaching at Secondary Level

Abstract

This study entitled “Implementation of Technology in Geometry Teaching at Secondary Level” is an experimental research. The objectives of this study were “To compare the achievement of students taught by using technological software assisted teaching method and conventional teaching method on teaching geometry at grade X.” and “To identify the students’ perception towards technology in teaching Geometry at grade X.” The research was based on connectivity view of learning. Researcher used quantitative design to fulfil the first objective and used qualitative method to fulfil second objective. Researcher selected two school of Lamjung district which Shree Kalika Milan Secondary School, Besishahar-2 and shree Bhakti Namuna Secondary School, Sundarbazar 9. All the student of one school (Namuna Secondary School.) was control group and another (Kalika Milan Secondary School) was experimental group two schools from the Lamjung district. For the data collection, researcher used mathematical achievement test and a set of questionnaires related to Likert’s five- point scales with observation note. The set of questionnaires was used for second objective; i.e. analysing the students view on Technology based teaching in learning Geometry. The results indicated that there was a significant difference between the average achievement of students taught by using Technology based teaching and without using Technology based teaching on post-test. The findings illustrated that the students in the experimental group performed better when using Technology based teaching than the control group with the conventional teaching method. This questionnaire was administered to only experimental group. The result of questionnaire shows that, students have positive perception about Technology based teaching in learning geometry at secondary level.
