Teacher Opinions about GeoGebra Activities Prepared for Geometry Content Area in 7th Grade Mathematics Course

Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the GeoGebra activities developed for teaching the 7th-grade mathematics course geometry learning domain within the scope of teacher opinions. In this direction, 13 GeoGebra activities prepared for teachers were presented in detail and teachers' opinions about each activity were taken. The sample of the study, in which the case study method was used, consisted of 16 elementary mathematics teachers with different years of working in the profession. GeoGebra Activities Review Form prepared by the researcher on Google Forms was used as a data collection tool in the study. The GeoGebra Activities Review Form consists of 5 rating questions to examine the GeoGebra activities developed in the dimensions of suitability to the subject, suitability to the student level, suitability for application in the classroom environment, encouraging active participation and contribution to the development of meaningful learning, and 3 open-ended questions about whether there are missing, excessive or aspects that should be changed. According to the data obtained from the research, it was concluded that the prepared GeoGebra activities were effective and the use of the activities in the lessons would contribute to the increase in students' mathematics achievement. In line with the results obtained from the research, it is recommended that the prepared activities be implemented in classroom environments in order to obtain permanent results for the effect of GeoGebra activities that are found effective by teachers.
