The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Dynamic Geometry Software-Assisted Instruction on 8th grade students’ mathematics achievement in transformation geometry (fractals, rotation, reflection, translation), geometric thinking, and attitudes toward mathematics and technology compared to the Regular Instruction. The Static-Group Pretest-Posttest research design was adopted in this weak experimental research study. The study was conducted during the fall semester of the 2012-2013 academic year in a private elementary school in Bilkent district in Ankara\TURKEY. The sample of the study consisted of 34 eight grade students (17 male and 17 female). The study lasted 10 class hours in three weeks. For the treatment, two intact classes were used and each of these classes was chosen as the experimental and the control group randomly. The experimental group students were taught the subject of transformation geometry by the researcher with Dynamic Geometry Software-Assisted Instruction using GeoGebra while the control group students were taught the same content by the mathematics teacher of the class with the Regular Instruction. In order to gather data, Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT), van Hiele Geometric Thinking Level Test (VHL) and Mathematics and Technology Attitude Scale (MTAS) were administered to the students as measuring instruments. The Quantitative Data Analyses were done by using Independent-samples t-test. The results of the study indicated that the Dynamic Geometry Software-Assisted Instruction had a significant effect on students’ mathematics achievement in transformation geometry and geometric thinking positively compared to the Regular Instruction. However, the Dynamic Geometry Software-Assisted Instruction had no significant effect on students’ attitude towards mathematics and technology.

The Effects of dynamic geometry use on eighth grade students’ achievement in geometry and attitude towards geometry on triangle topic
Samur, Halime; Akyüz, Didem; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2015)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of dynamic geometry based computer instruction on eighth grade students’ achievement in geometry, attitudes toward geometry and technology compared to traditional instruction. Moreover, it was aimed to get the students’ ideas about the effects of computer based instruction and to interpret their learning process. The study was quasi-experimental design that includes experimental and control groups. The sample of the study was 36 eighth grade students (...
The Effects of teaching linear equations with dynamic mathematics software on seventh grade students’ achievement
Doktoroğlu, Rezzan; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2013)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of teaching linear equations with Dynamic Mathematics Software (GeoGebra) on seventh grade students’ achievement compared to the regular instruction. Randomized posttest-only control group design was utilized in the study. 60 seventh grade students (32 girls and 28 boys) of a public school in Yenimahalle district in Ankara participated in the study. The study was conducted in 2011-2012 fall semester, lasting 9 class hours in three weeks. The data was ...
The effect of using dynamic geometry software while teaching by guided discovery on students’ geometric thinking levels and achievement
Toker-Gül, Zerrin; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Department of Educational Sciences (2008)
This study aimed to investigate the effects of using dynamic geometry software while teaching by guided discovery compared to paper-and-pencil based guided discovery and traditional teaching method on sixth grade students’ van Hiele geometric thinking levels and geometry achievement. The study was conducted in one of the private schools in Ankara and lasted six weeks. The sample of the study consisted 47 sixth grade students in the school. The present study was designed as pretest-posttest control group qua...
The Effects of mathematics instruction supported by dynamic geometry activities on seventh grade students’ achievement in area of quadrilaterals
Özçakır, Bilal; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2013)
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of mathematics instruction supported by dynamics geometry activities on students’ achievement in area of quadrilaterals and students’ achievements according to their van Hiele geometric thinking levels. The study was conducted in a public elementary school in Kırşehir in 2012 – 2013 spring semester and lasted two weeks. The participants in the study were 76 seventh grade students. The study was examined through nonrandomized control group pretest-posttest...
The effect of computer-based interactive conceptual change texts on 11th grade students’ understanding of electrochemistry concepts and attitude toward chemistry
Taşdelen, Uğur; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2011)
The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of conceptual change oriented instruction accompanied by computer-based interactive conceptual change text (CBICCT) on 11th grade students understanding of electrochemistry and attitude toward chemistry. The study was conducted in an anatolian high school in Ankara with two science classes with 66 students in May 2009. A quasi experimental design was used. The classes was assigned to groups; one as control group and the other as experimental group. Whil...
