PEMANFAATAN SOFTWARE GEOGEBRA UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KETERAMPILAN GURU MATEMATIKA SMP/MTs DI KECAMATAN LENGAYANG

Abstract

The development of information technology today is so fast that it affects all aspects of life including the field of education. In the field of education, especially mathematics lessons at the primary and secondary school levels, there have been many media or tools that can be used in teaching basic mathematical concepts, one of which is using Geogebra software. Mathematics teachers in SMP / MTs in Lengayang District, Pesisir Selatan Regency still have limitations in using computers as a tool for making learning media with the help of math software. The objectives of this community service are: Increase teachers' understanding of the role of mathematics learning media, and Improve teacher skills in using geogebra applications to create mathematics learning media. GeoGebra was chosen as an alternative because it has various advantages both theoretically and based on research results. The method used is training on GeoGebra, simulation, and evaluation. PKM activities are carried out on SMP / MTs mathematics teachers in Lengayang District, Pesisir Selatan Regency. Based on the results of this training, it was concluded that the teacher's knowledge and understanding of the importance of media in learning mathematics increased and the teacher was able to design mathematics learning media using GeoGebra software.
