This study examined the effects of level of instructional |
|
scaffolding on students' use of Geometer's Sketchpad and |
|
other software tools in a technology-integrated geometry |
|
curriculum. In order to revitalize education at the |
|
secondary level and in particular in the mathematics |
|
curriculum, educational reformers have advocated the |
|
incorporation of appropriate technologies to support |
|
learner-centered environments. The goal was to determine |
|
the relative effectiveness of a teacher-directed approach |
|
compared to a student-directed approach of utilizing |
|
Sketchpad to complete a project-based learning task. In |
|
general, and in the short term, the instructional model |
|
where the teacher provided structure and directed the |
|
problem solving activities of the students resulted in |
|
learner outcomes characterized by greater understanding |
|
of the concepts and less frustration with the process of |
|
using Sketchpad. However, many students in the self- |
|
directed group expressed a sense of self-confidence and |
|
pleasure with their accomplishments. (Contains 15 |
|
references and 2 figures.) (Author) |
