![]() ![]() Learning mathematics and learning the use of a dynamic geometry system at the same time could lead to cognitive overload. For novices, it may be difficult to recognize and recall the icons needed for a task. Clicking on a GUI icon performs an action like choosing a construction tool or manipulating an object. ![]() Graphical user interfaces (GUIs) of dynamic or interactive geometry software (DGS) allow users to interact with the DGS by using a computer mouse. These findings showed that the use of GeoGebra enhanced the students’ performance in learning Coordinate Geometry. Meanwhile the LV students in GeoGebra group (M = 64.07, SD = 21.569) significantly outperformed the LV students in traditional group (M = 48.79, SD = 15.106). Findings showed that there were no significant different among HV students between GeoGebra group and traditional group. ![]() This study also found that the HV students performed better than the LV students in both group. Independent samples t-test results showed that there was a significant difference in mean mathematical achievement between the GeoGebra group (M = 65.23, SD = 19.202) and the traditional teaching strategy group (M = 54.7, SD = 15.660). The test format was based on Additional Mathematics KBSM syllabus. Students’ mathematics achievement was measured using post test at the end of the intervention. One group was taught Coordinate Geometry using GeoGebra while the other underwent learning the traditional way. They were assigned into two different groups. A total of 53 secondary school students in Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur participated in the study. The Spatial Visualization Ability Test Instrument (SVATI) had been used to categorize the students in different spatial ability level. This quasi-experimental study with non-equivalent control group post-test only design was conducted to examine the effects of using a free-software called GeoGebra in the learning of Coordinate Geometry among students classified as high visual-spatial ability students (HV) and low visual-spatial ability students (LV). In mathematics classroom, ICT can help students and teachers to perform calculation, analyse data, explore mathematical concepts thus increasing the understanding in mathematics. Many research indicated that ICT has been proven useful as a tool in supporting and transforming teaching and learning. ![]()
