![]() ![]() A survey questionnaire was used to measure students' perception on the usage of Geometer's Sketchpad in the learning of Geometry and some other topics of mathematics. Two instruments were used to gather information:-the students' mathematics achievement and attitudes/ perception of students toward learning Mathematics. The study utilized a quasi-experimental design using intact group of students from two classes in the indicated school. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of using the Geometer's Sketchpad software on the academic achievement of students in mathematics among grade nine students of Bedele Secondary and preparatory school. The researcher then recommends that mathematics teachers may consider utilizing technological tools like the Geometer's Sketchpad in discussing lessons in Geometry and other mathematics subjects to improve not only their students' mathematics achievement but also for students' attitude towards mathematics and technology. Furthermore, the Geometer's Sketchpad showed a positive impact on students' achievement in Geometry as indicated in the increase of their posttest scores. Results revealed that junior high school students' attitude towards mathematics and technology gained a relative increase as influenced by the usage of the Geometer's Sketchpad. Data collected were analyzed using mean, percentage, standard deviation and t-test for paired observations. ![]() The objective of this study was to determine the effect on the levels of junior high school students' attitude towards mathematics and technology as well as their mathematics achievement after being exposed to geometry activities using the dynamic software, the Geometer's Sketchpad. ![]()
