Abstract
This study entitled “Effectiveness of GeoGebra in Teaching Circles at Grade X: A
Quasi-Experimental Study”. The purpose of this study was to investigate
effectiveness of GeoGebra in teaching Circles at grade X and to explore the
perception of students in teaching Circles by using GeoGebra software. The
effectiveness was measured by comparing the achievement of the students taught by
using GeoGebra software and without using GeoGebra software in virtual learning
environment out of 28/25 students. The research was based on constructivist view of
learning and the design of this study was quasi-experimental design. To gain the
motto of this study the researcher adopted pre-test and post-test non-equivalent
control group design.
Researcher used experimental design and selected two schools from the
Makawanpur District. The researcher chose grade X, 28 students of Shree Sharada
Secondary School, Makawanpur as the experimental group and 25 students of Shree
Janak Secondary School, Makawanpur as the Control group. For the data collection
researcher used Mathematics achievement test and questionnaire. The collected data
were analyzed by using mean, standard deviation and t-test for quantitative data and
for qualitative data descriptive and analytic methods were used.
The findings of this research showed that there is significant difference
between the achievement of students taught by using GeoGebra software and
conventional method of teaching mathematics in virtual learning environment.
GeoGebra increase the participation of students in teaching and learning activities.
Students were very excited for learning mathematics by using GeoGebra software.
GeoGebra was very useful for visualization of mathematics and supportive to the
students in revision. GeoGebra software is very useful and helpful in teaching
ix
learning. The conclusion of this research is that the GeoGebra software needs to use at
secondary level for meaningful and effective mathematics teaching learning in virtual
learning environment.
The result of this study indicated that students in the experimental group have
better achievement then control group. In addition, a five point Likert type of scale
was used to elicit student’s perception on the use of GeoGebra. Result of the
questionnaire responses indicates a positive perception of using GeoGebra in
Mathematics learning.
