This thesis "The mediation of hand-held geometric instruments and dynamic geometry software in learning the formal concepts of parallel and perpendicular lines in two cultural and educational environments" uses a theoretical framework derived from activity theory to investigate the effect of both geometric instruments (ruler, protractor, right triangle, pencil, paper) and dynamic geometric software (Geogebra4) in learning the formal concepts of parallel and perpendicular lines in fourth and seventh grade children from two different countries, Jordan and Greece.The qualitative data is relevant to an empirical study of a group of approximately 120 children from both countries Jordan and Greece. The participating children were subjected to lessons in geometry using the instruments tools (ruler…) and in using Geogebra4. They were then subjected to seven tasks in which they had to identify with justification, whether the lines on a plane in various figures are parallel, perpendicular or intersecting mediating the two different tools. The data was collected and analyzed according to Van Hiele's levels of geometric thinking.

The purpose of this study are to investigate and to describe the gain of students‘ spatial ability through Geometry teaching and learning by using a dynamic geometry software, Cabri 3D. This study was a quasi experimental research with not equivalent control group design. Direct instruction was implemented in control group otherwise Geometry teaching and learning with using Cabri 3D was implemented in experimental group. The population of this study are all of the eight grade of junior high school students in one of the SMP Negeri in Padangsidimpuan City. The sample of this study were two groups of eighth grade. The sample has been choosed with using purposif sample technique. The instruments of this study were spatial ability test, quationere, observation sheet and interview. The test was analysed quantitatively and non test was analyzed qualitatively in order to answer the  the hypotesa, the gain of students’ spatial ability who has studied and lerant with using Cabri 3D is better than direct instruction.

This case study examined the metacognitive processes of a preservice teacher when solving a nonroutine geometry problem in a dynamic geometry environment. The main purpose of the study was to uncover and investigate patterns of metacognitive processes and to understand what circumstances, situations, and interactions in a dynamic geometry environment promoted metacognitive behaviors. An adaptation of Schoenfeld’s (1981) model of episodes and executive decisions in mathematics problem solving, and the theory of instrumentation (Rabardel, 2001) was used to identify patterns of metacognitive processes in a dynamic geometry environment. During different phases of problem solving the participant engaged in different metacognitive behaviors whereas the dynamic geometry software supported strategies that are available and/or not available on paper and pen. The effectiveness of solution paths was dependent on the presence of managerial decisions, and well-orchestrated usage of different resources, both knowledge and technology. However, the results of the study call to question to which extent engagement in metacognitive behaviors is necessarily desirable or productive.

Use Of Technology

The use of technology is essential in teaching and learning process. Many researchers have already been implemented Dynamic Geometry Software (DGS) in teaching and learning process. Given the importance of DGS, it is necessary for in-service teachers to use the software in their teaching and learning. Hence, it is important to prepare in-service teacher in utilizing DGS through the professional development program. This is a qualitative research which describes a professional development program to facilitate in-service teachers in utilizing DGS. Both questionnaire and review measured in-service teachers’ perceptions, knowledge and skills transfer, and impact for their practice. From the findings, four of five in-service teachers recognized that they can interact with geometric figures to move on to the next level by using DGS. The teachers felt that DGS has helped them to understand the mathematics concept and demonstrate their understanding in front of the class. Besides, DGS does not only offer opportunities for teachers and students to use them both at home and in the classroom, but they also provide a means for developing support and user communities reaching across borders especially in understanding of geometrical transformation. It has contributed that the teachers easily recognize the geometrical shapes interpretations dynamically on DGS.
