Abstract

Pre-service mathematics teacher students often find geometrical concepts that are difficult to understand. This results in a decrease in interest in geometry. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of using ‘GeoGebra’ on the mathematics achievement of pre-service mathematics teacher students in space geometry learning. The study was a quasi-experimental design. A total of 56 students were selected from the mathematics education program of Tidar University, a state university located in Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia. The experimental group (27) was taught about the slice plane in the prism and pyramid using GeoGebra while the control group (29) was taught using traditional teaching methods. The research data were obtained from a test consisting of six questions and questionnaire consists of nine items. At the end of the treatment, students’ mathematics achievement was measured using a post-test. The data were then analyzed using an independent T-test. The results showed that GeoGebra was an effective tool for teaching and learning space geometry in college.
