The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of integration of GeoGebra into
the teaching and learning of circle theorem on students’ performance at the
Presbyterian College of Education, Akropong-Akuapem, Ghana. A sample of 390
level 100 students was selected purposively from a population of 490 level 100
students for the study. The main instruments for data collection were test and
questionnaire. The four points Likert rating scale was used in administering the
questionnaire and it was analysed using percentages. Data collected from the test
were also analysed and presented by the independent sample t –test. Two tailed test
was used in the descriptive statistics to test the null hypothesis. The reliability
coefficient of the instruments was ascertained using Kuder–Richardson KR20 for the
pre-test and Cronbach Alpha for the post-test. The reliability coefficient for the pre test was 0.66 and that of the post-test was 0.65 indicating the instruments were
accurate and reliable. The findings showed that there was significant difference
between the mean score of students who were taught circle theorem using GeoGebra
and those taught without the use of GeoGebra in favour of the GeoGebra group but
no significant difference were found with respect to gender. Lack of instructional
aids, students’ psychological fear, poor foundation of students in basic school
mathematics, poor preparations on the part of some mathematics teachers and large
classes were identified as the main causes of students’ difficulty in learning circle
theorem. The study recommended among others that enough mathematics software
especially GeoGebra should be provided in schools. |
