Technology integration in geometry teaching and learning

Abstract

Technology advancement provides an opportunity for helping both teachers and students to solve and improve mathematics teaching and learning performances. This systematic review aims to add to the discussion through a comprehensive overview of the integration of digital technologies into the teaching and learning of geometry at the secondary school level. A systematic literature review was conducted following the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, with a focus on publication trends, types of technologies used, types of contributions, learning domains and research methods. Twenty-nine articles published between 2010 and 2022 were searched from the ERIC database. The findings showed that the majority of the articles were published in 2015 and the technologies that were used were GeoGebra, augmented reality, computer animation package, video-based cooperative, graphing calculator, micromedia flash, Powtoon animation, learning management system, interactive whiteboard, digital simulations-applets, iPads and tablet. Most of the reviewed articles focused on the effectiveness of the technologies in geometry teaching and learning. The findings indicated that the majority of the reviewed articles used quantitative research methods followed by qualitative methods studies. It is suggested that other studies be conducted with other databases and focus on challenges of integrating technology into the teaching and learning of geometry.
