The effect of GeoGebra Software on Student-Teacher Motivation in Learning ofGeneral Mathematics 2 through e-Learning

This paper examines the impact of using GeoGebra software on motivation of student-teachers’ learning in General Mathematics 2 through e-learning, as well as the reasons for the potential impact, benefits, and challenges of utilizing it. The sample used in this research is 36 student-teachers from Department of Mathematics Education at the Farhangian University of Isfahan. In this study, data were collected using a researcher constructed questionnaire and five open-ended questions. The validity of the questionnaire was checked by experts and Cronbach's alpha coefficient was equal to 0.91 which indicates the high reliability of the questionnaire items. In order to check the normality of the data, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used and the significance level was obtained 0.09 using SPSS software, which indicates that the sample data were extracted from a normal population. One-sample t-test and coding method were used for quantitative and qualitative data analysis respectively. The results of this study indicate that the use of GeoGebra software in teaching General Mathematics 2 has played a role in increasing student motivation of student-teachers. According to the findings of this study, the most important reasons for increasing the motivation of student-teachers are helping to learn concepts and creating variety in the classroom.
