Item Effectiveness of Experimental Verification in Teaching Geometry at Lower Secondary Level(Faculty of Mathematics, 2018) Ghile, Jaya PrakashThis is an Experimental research entitled Effectiveness of Experimental Verification in Teaching Geometry. The objectives of the study were ‘to compare the achievements of the students taught by using experimental verification method and traditional method in geometry’ and ‘to analyze the effect of experimental verification in learning mathematics’. A pretest, posttest, equivalent group design was adopted to achieve the objective of the study. For this, two groups were selected by stratified sampling method from two government schools of Syangja district, which were similar in socio-economic status and result of the students from each school 20 students were selected for a sample of the study. In order to make the groups comparable a pretest was administered to both group which resulted that the groups are comparable at 0.05 level of significance. Both the experimental and control group were taught by researcher himself for 2 weeks by using and without using experimental verification respectively. Researcher taught the chapter ‘area of triangle and quadrilaterals and regular polygon’ of mathematics textbook of grade VIII prescribed by government of Nepal. Student’s behavior was observed by the researcher during the experimentation. After the completion of experimentation, an achievement test was administered on the both group. The result of test was analyzed by using t-test at 0.05 level of significance. It is found that the mean achievement score of students taught by using experiment verification is better than the mean achievement score of the students taught by without using experiment verification. Hence there is significant difference between the achievement of students taught by experimental verification and traditional method. From the observation, it is concluded that almost of the students taught by using experiment verification were very active, laborious, regular, concentrative and competitive.Item Effectiveness of Geogebra in teaching learning Geometry at secondary level(Department of Mahematics Education, 2021) Shah, Sunil KumarThis is the study entitled "Effectiveness of GeoGebra in Teaching Geometry at Secondary Level" has been carried out to find out the effect of GeoGebra in teaching geometry and to explore the student attitude about GeoGebra. Researcher selected convience sampling and selected the two schools. This research has conducted by using quantative method focused only experimental research design. The use of technology in the pedagogical process is growing at a phenomenal rate due to the vast availability of gadgets. As a result, educationists see the urgent need for integrating technology in students’ mathematical activities. Therefore, the purpose of this pre-test post-test experimental study was to investigate students understanding in learning geometry using GeoGebra. Grade ten, fifty-seven students from two different two school are in the same classes participated in this study with one class assigned as the experimental group and the other as the control group. The researcher used achievement tool and questionnaires to collect the data. Finding of this study showed a significant difference existed in the mean scores between these two groups. The result indicated that students in the experimental group outperformed those in the control group. In addition, a questionnaires instrument had used to find the student perception about the GeoGebra. Result show student has positive attitude about GeoGebra. Analysis of the questionnaire responses indicated a positive overall perception about GeoGebra in learning geometry. Finally, the research work proved the GeoGebra is the effective tool teaching geometry.Item Potency of ICT in Teaching and Learning Geometry at Grade Nine(Department of Mathematics education, 2021) Bista, Yadab ChandraThis is the study entitled " The Potency of ICT in teaching geometry at grade nine " has been carried out to find the effect of student's perception about ICT. Researcher selected concessive sampling and selected two schools of Lalitpur district. This research has conducted by using quantitative method focused for experimental research design. The use of ICT in pedagogical process is growing liability of gadgets. As a result, educations see the urgent need for integrating technology in student's mathematical activities. The sample of the study was 48, grade nine students (36 students in experimental and 12 students in control group) from two public secondary schools of Lalitpur district. After three weeks of regular experiment, researcher collected data from achievement test and a set of questionnaires based on five point Likert scale. For accomplishing this purpose pretest, posttest and non equivalent experimental method was used. The quantitative analysis was carried out by using independent samples ttest, the measure of effect Cohen’s d and the result was calculated by using IBM SPSS 21.0 version. The results indicated that ICT based teaching had a significant effect on student’s achievement in geometry compare to traditional teaching method. Result of this research showed that the students in the experimental groups performed better when using ICT than the control group with traditional teaching method. Finding of this study showed a significant difference existed in the mean scores between these two groups. The result indicated that students in the experimental group out performed those in the control group. Furthermore, effective use of ICT makes basic concept easier, enjoyable and interesting. Result show student has positive attitude about ICT. Analysis of the questionnaire responses indicated positive overall perception about ICT in learning geometry. Finally it is concluded that ICT is the effective tool in teaching geometry in our context.
