Effectiveness Of Geogebra In Teaching Mathematics At Secondary Level

Abstract

The topic of this study is “Effectiveness of Geogebra in Teaching Mathematics at Secondary Level". The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of GeoGebra software in teaching and learning mathematics in secondary level and find the students’ view towards GeoGebra in learning mathematics. This is an experimental research where the researcher used the achievement test (pretest and post test) and interview as the tools to collect the data. The researcher selected two colleges of Kathmandu valley; Southwestern state college was selected for experimental group and St. Lawrence as a control group. There were 25 students in experimental group and 23 students in control group. The researcher had taken mathematics achievement test (Pretest and Post-test) to the both groups of students. The data was analyzed by using different inferential statistical method. The students’ views were also analyzed by using qualitative method. The researcher has found that the use of software GeoGebra in teaching mathematics is more effective than that of conventional method of teaching conic section of grade XII. The use of software GeoGebra was more helpful to learn the abstract mathematical concept. Visual learning environment plays vital role in learning mathematical concepts.
