On the implementation of e-learning with mathlet GeoGebra in Analytic Geometry course to improve students' engagement and achievement

Abstract

This study has been carried out to investigate the effect of the implementation e-learning with GeoGebra mathlet accompanied by its assessments to improve students' engagement and achievement. The problems of the study arose from our experiences that students' engagement during the course of Analytic Geometry course were very low. Because of that, an e-learning with GeoGebra mathlet complete with its assessments was set up using IMathAS, software especially developed for mathematics or mathematics related course. The choose of IMathAS was due to its capability to display mathematical notations, to randomize items order as well as items data, and especially to display explorative mathlets. After setting up the e-learning, a classroom action research was then carried out to investigate whether or not the implementation of this kind of e-learning was capable in improving students' engagement and achievement. Results showed that the implementation of this kind of e-learning was indeed capable of improving students engagements and achievement. This was clear from the progress they made during the learning process as evidenced by data obtained and its analysis.
