Mathematical communication skills of students through GeoGebra-assisted ELPSA approach

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to see the development of students' mathematical communication skills between those who obtained the ELPSA learning model assisted by GeoGebra and those who obtained the conventional learning model (direct-instruction). This study uses a quasi-experimental method. The results showed that the achievement and improvement of mathematical communication skills of students who obtained the ELPSA learning model assisted by GeoGebra better than those who obtained the direct-instruction model. The GeoGebra-assisted ELPSA learning model can be used as an alternative in developing mathematical communication skills, especially in the transformation geometry material in secondary schools.
