The impact of geogebra classic application on learning geometry

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the impact of Geogebra Classic application towards geometry learning outcome of fifth graders. The method employed was experimental research using Non-equivalent Control Group Design. Serving as the subjects of this study were students of fifth grade in an elementary school in Malang, Indonesia. The data were required through statistical tests and analyses through SPSS 21.0 for Windows. The results of the study showed that the average difference of the score of fifth graders after having treatment of using the application were 66.4 for the pre-test and 81.2 for the post-test. In the meantime, the t-test on the study revealed that the value was 0.002 < 0.05 meaning that the hypothesis was accepted. This indicated that there is an impact of the use of Geogebra Classic application on geometry learning outcome of the fifth graders. Therefore, it can be concluded that Geogebra Classic application was able to help students understand geometry-related learning materials.
