Application of geogebra software to improve problem-solving skills in analytic geometry in prospective teachers students

Abstract

This study aims to examine the improvement in thinking skills problem solving of prospective teacher students in learning analytic geometry using GeoGebra software. The population in this study were all students of IKIP Siliwangi, with a sample of class One class 2018 totalling 35 people. The instrument used in this study was a test in the form of a 5-item description question and a non-test in the form of a Likert scale. Based on the results of data processing, it can be concluded that the use of GeoGebra software is effective in improving problem -solving skills in analytic geometry learning. Overall, students' responses to the use of GeoGebra software in learning analytic geometry courses are in a very strong category. The highest indicator of student attitudes towards the use of GeoGebra software is achieved on the indicator of interest in the media and the indicator that has the lowest percentage lies in the indicator of image use.
