| description | As computer-based technology becomes an important component of any modern curriculum, the continuing
challenge is to scrutinize the applications of the instructional technology and to identify whether these tools can
give good benefit to students’ learning process. This study examined the effects of using GeoGebra Teaching
Strategy in learning Circle III topic on Malaysian Secondary Form Four students’ performance and attitudes towards
this teaching strategy. A quasi experiment of non-equivalent pre-posttest control group design study was conducted
in a school in Sibu, Sarawak. One control group (n = 17) and one experimental group (n = 29) were randomly
selected from Form Four classes. The experimental group underwent learning using GeoGebra Teaching Strategy
meanwhile the control group underwent learning using Conventional Teaching Strategy. The Circle III Achievement
Test and the Attitude Questionnaire were used as instruments in this study. The data were analyzed using one way
ANCOVA and one sample t-test. The analysis showed that there was no significant difference between mean
performance scores of students in experimental and control groups. However, the experimental students showed
positive attitudes towards using GeoGebra software while learning Circle III topic. This indicated that not only
could this strategy be utilized in learning mathematics but also in enhancing Malaysian students’ performance in
learning mathematics in the long run. |
