Discovery Learning with the Help of the GeoGebra Dynamic Geometry Software
Keywords:
Discovery learning, the GeoGebra software, problem-based learning, technology skillsAbstract
This article gives points of view of discovery learning, the role
of discovery learning and the types of the one in mathematics. Teacher
will give questions so that students themselves form knowledge what
teacher wants to teach through discovery acts. With the help of the
GeoGebra dynamic geometry software, the process of teaching and
learning becomes more effectively. Because the GeoGebra software is
dynamic, it helps discovery learning a lot. This software can allow
teacher and students to find out solutions of geometric problems. It also
can create a lot of new problems. Especially, the GeoGebra software is
free. That's reason why teacher and students should use the one. In
addition, students will develop technology skills and get mathematical
knowledge easily.
