Abstract

The current research aims to identify the effectiveness of the GeoGebra program in the achievement of mathematics among middle first graders. For the purpose of verifying the objective of the research, the following null hypothesis was formulated: There is no statistically significant difference at the level of (0.05) between the average scores of the female students of the experimental group studying using the geogra program and the average scores of the female students of the control group studying in the usual way in the achievement test. The researcher used experimental design with partial control for the two equal groups,which includes two groups. The research sample consisted of (80) female students who were distributed equally between the two groups. The two groups were rewarded in variables (chronological age, intelligence, previous achievement). The researcher also adjusted extraneous variables such as the confidentiality of the experiment and processes related to maturity and experimental extinction. The researcher identified the scientific material represented in chapters (5 , 6) of the mathematics textbook for the first intermediate grade (I 3 of 2018 ) The researcher formulated behavioral goals for the scientific material, which reached (116) behavioral goals. She also prepared a teaching plan for the experimental group and a teaching plan for the control group. With regard to research tools, the researcher has prepared a post-acquisition test where (25) items were drafted for the achievement test (MCQ) for middle first grade students, and they were Answering the test according to four alternatives ( one true and three false ) , and the face validity of it was calculated by presenting it to a group of experienced and competent arbitrators. Reliability was calculated using the Kuder-Regardson equation (20) and calculating the coefficient of difficulty and its discernment and the effectiveness of the wrong alternatives for all items . The experiment was applied in the second course of the academic year (2022-2023) to the research sample of middle first grade students, where the researcher taught the two research groups, and after the end of the experiment, the results were analyzed statistically using the T-test for two independent samples. The results outperformed the experimental group taught using Geogbra software on control group students who studied in the normal way on the achievement test.
