Abstract

In education, information and communication technologies (ICT) provide a modern learning environment in which students can build their own knowledge. In ICT, there is a lot of space for visualisation and experimentation. The aim of this study was to investigate whether instruction with Geogebra has impact on students’ achievements regarding their conceptual and procedural knowledge on the concept of limit. For this research study the investigators adopted a quantitative approach, using a true experimental design with a pre- test, post-test control group. It was observed that the suggested exercises aided students at the undergraduate level in grasping the principle of limit.
