Abstract
This is the study entitled"Effectiveness of GeoGebra inTeaching Geometry at
Secondary Level"has beencarried out to find out the effect of GeoGebra in teaching
geometry and to explore the student attitude about GeoGebra.Researcher selected
conviencesampling and selectedthe two schools.This researchhasconducted by using
quantative method focused onlyexperimental 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 participatedin 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.
