| dc.description.abstract | This study entitled “Effectiveness of GeoGebra in Teaching Geometry” is an experimental research. The objectives of this study were to compare the achievement of students taught by GeoGebra assisted teaching method and conventional teaching method on Parallelogram at grade IX, and to identify the students perception towards GeoGebra software in teaching Parallelogram. The research was based on constructivist view of learning. A pre-test and post-test of quasi-experimental research design was used to find the effectiveness of GeoGebra on student’s achievement. Researcher used conventional sampling and selected two schools from the Kathmandu district. For the research purpose, I selected 26 students from Divya Gyan Secondary School (Experimental group) and another 26 students from Jaljala Shishu Sadan Secondary School (Control group). For the data collection, I used mathematical achievement test and a set of questionnaire related to Likert five point scales with observation note. The mathematics achievement test was used to fulfill the first objective; i.e. comparing the achievement of the students taught by using GeoGebra software and traditional method in parallelogram. The set of questionnaire was used for second objective; i.e. analyzing the students view on GeoGebra in learning parallelogram. The results indicated that there was a significant difference between the average achievement of students taught by using GeoGebra and without using GeoGebra on post- test. The finding illustrated that the students in the experimental group performed better when using GeoGebra than the control group with the traditional teaching method. Additionally, a set of questionnaire related to Likert scale was used to explore the students view about GeoGebra assisted teaching in learning parallelogram. This questionnaire was administered to only experimental group. The result of questionnaire shows that, students have positive perception about GeoGebra software in learning parallelogram of geometry. | en_US |
