Abstract
The current study aims to identify the impact of using "Geo Gebra" software on the performance of tenth-grade students in the mathematics curriculum in schools of Nablus Governorate for the academic year 2020-2021.
The researcher used an experimental methodology with a semi-experimental design. The study was conducted on a purposive sample of the study population, which included all the tenth-grade students in the Nablus Governorate's schools. This sample consists of (44) male and female students. It is divided into two groups: the first group is a controlling group of (20) male and female students who studied in the traditional manner. The second group is an experimental group of (24) male and female students who used "Geo Gebra" software in their studies. The researcher produced a set of activities based on "Geo Gebra" software for geometry unit lessons in mathematics.
The study tool consists of an achievement test, which includes (10) substantive-type paragraphs and (3) construction-type paragraphs, dealing with levels (recollection, understanding, and application). The validity of the test has also been confirmed by being presented to a group of arbitrators. The reliability coefficient was extracted according to Cronbach's alpha equation for the achievement test. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) program was used to collect, encode, and statistically process the data.
The results of the study showed that there is a statistically significant difference at (α꞊0.05) among the average marks of the tenth-grade students who studied the geometry unit using "Geo Gebra" software (experimental group) and the tenth-grade students who studied the geometry unit in the traditional way (controlling group) on the achievement test as a whole and in each of these levels (recollection, understanding, and application), and for the benefit of the experimental group.
In light of the study's results, the researcher recommends that it is important to include "Geo Gebra" software in the mathematics curriculum, making it interesting, fun, and up-to-date. Furthermore, the study recommends conducting workshops to train teachers, supervisors, and students specializing in mathematics on using "Geo Gebra" software in teaching mathematics.
