Computer Environments

Given their graphic capabilities, computers may facilitate the construction of geometric concepts. Comparative media research, however, reveals few differences between media; alterations in curricula or teaching strategies might also explain the positive results of many studies that compare computer to noncomputer media. Yet, there remain certain computer functions that non-computer media may not easily duplicate. This article reviews research to describe such functions of construction-oriented environments and to evaluate their unique contributions to students' learning of geometry. Implications for the design of geometric computer environments for geometry education are drawn.

Geometry Education

There are problems in geometry education in lower and upper secondary school, which students have with the spatial imagination and with the understanding of some geometric concepts. In this article, we want to present tasks that show some advantages of the software GeoGebra. We use this software as a tool to visualize and to explain some geometric concepts, as well as to support students’ spatial imagination. Classification: D30, G10. Keywords: space imagination, GeoGebra, mathematics education at lower and upper secondary level.

Significant Research

In the spring of 1975, the Georgia Center for the Study of Learning and Teaching in Mathematics (GCSLTM) sponsored a series of five research workshops involving (a) teaching strategies in mathematics, (b) number and measurement concepts, (c) space and geometry concepts, (d) models for learning mathematical concepts, and (e) problem solving. This fo rum is a discussion of the activities of the working group that developed from the space and geometry workshop. The existence of a successful, nonfunded, multi-institutional, cooperative research effort is in itself a significant research innovation in mathematics education.

Positive Results

The aim of this review was to analyze the effects of instance response systems or clickers on students’ learning in different teaching strategies. A total of 128 empirical studies were reviewed; 80% of the studies were conducted in the context of lectures or collaborative learning. Further analysis of the studies using a quasi-experimental design revealed that clicker usage in traditional lectures may enhance students’ attention and participation. However, it is not more effective than low-technology methods such as hand raising or response cards in terms of learning performance. Clickers combined with collaborative peer-aided learning have shown positive results with large effect sizes. Furthermore, incorporating clickers into innovative teaching strategies appears to be promising. Finally, the use of clickers to promote high-order thinking is discussed.

AbstrakDewasa ini perkembangan dunia pendidikan sangatlah pesat. Masuknya teknologi dan modernisasi semakin menambah dinamika perkembangan strategipembelajaran dan pengajaran. Terdapat beragam cara dan strategi pembelajaran yang diterapkan oleh para tenaga pengajar. Salah satunya adalah strategi umpan balik. Oleh karena itu, tulisan ini dibuat bertujuan agar menjadi salah satu referensi dalam mengembangkan strategi belajar pengajar demi mencapai pendidikan yang berkualitas. Adapun metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif analisis. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa strategi umpan balik memberikan hasil yang positif dalam mencapai tujuan pembelajaran yang telah ditetapkan.Kata kunci: Strategi Umpan Balik, Penerapan, TantanganAbstractToday the development of the world of education is very rapid. The entry oftechnology and modernization increasingly adds to the dynamics of thedevelopment of learning and teaching strategies. There are various ways andlearning strategies applied by the teaching staff. One of them is a feedbackstrategy. Therefore, this paper is intended to be one of the references indeveloping instructional learning strategies in order to achieve quality education.The method used is descriptive qualitative analysis. The results of this studyindicate that the feedback strategy provides positive results in achieving the stated learning goals.Keywords: Feedback Strategy, Implementation, Challenge
