#GEOMETERS SKETCHPAD ACTIVITIES SOFTWARE#
The data was generated from 130 final year pre-service mathematics teachers' written responses, which tested there competencies in solving problems on Geometry using either GeoGebra software of Geometer software or Conventional approach of paper and pen. In response to the growing need for technological expertise, this study explores the effect of pre-service mathematics teachers' technology integration knowledge through TPACK model on their achievement in geometry.
The preparation of preservice teachers to use technology is one of the most critical issues facing teacher education programs. The use of Geometer's Sketchpad in mathematics classroom has positive effect on the students' mathematics achievement and attitude towards the learning of geometry and some mathematics topics. This study indicates that the result of experimental group had a significant mean difference compared to the control group on post-test. Both groups took the same pre-test and post-test. The control group used only the textbooks and they were learnt by usual learning method. In the study, the experimental groups used Geometer's Sketchpad-based topics and worksheets and for each student there is an access computer/plasma equipped with the Sketchpad software.
A survey questionnaire was used to measure students' perception on the usage of Geometer's Sketchpad in the learning of Geometry and some other topics of mathematics. Two instruments were used to gather information:-the students' mathematics achievement and attitudes/ perception of students toward learning Mathematics.
The study utilized a quasi-experimental design using intact group of students from two classes in the indicated school. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of using the Geometer's Sketchpad software on the academic achievement of students in mathematics among grade nine students of Bedele Secondary and preparatory school.
