The effectiveness of using interactive mathematics software "GeoGebra and Microsoft Math" on maths’ teachers and their attitudes toward it

Abstract

The study aims to investigate the effectiveness of using interactive mathematics software "GeoGebra and Microsoft Math" on maths’ teachers and their attitudes toward it. Semi-experimental group-based, was used to measure the effectiveness of the program. To achieve the objective of the study, a training program has been prepared, and a test of cognitive achievement, an observation sheet, and the scale of attitudes. The instruments have been applied before the start of the training program on a sample of (107) Math teachers in Medina. After implementing the program, the tools were applied once more again. The findings revealed that there was a statistically significant effect for the program on the participants' cognitive, and their attitude towards it. Furthermore, the training program proved its effectiveness on the three aspects (cognitive achievement, an observation sheet, and the scale of attitudes) according to Blake’s modified gain ratio.
