This study combines online learning and face-to-face based learning. Blended Learning is based on some of the weaknesses found in online learning. In Blended Learning, Online learning is not just the learning that collects teaching materials, assignments, exercises, tests, and results of students’ works. It also has to be an interesting and attractive learning so that students’ will have better understanding on learning objectives. One of the tools for developing interesting and attractive online learning process is an open source software called GeoGebra. Blended Learning has very good quality when applied in developing students’ High-Order Mathematical Thinking Competency (HOMTC) as it is evident from previous researches. This study was an experiment based on pretest-posttest control group aiming to examine the influence of Blended Learning and students’ initial mathematical ability on students’ achievement and enhancement of HOMTC consisting of some aspects such as mathematical problem solving, mathematical communication, mathematical reasoning, and mathematical connections.

Mai 2016 I ABSTRACT 2 I ABSTRACT Through the continuous technical developments of the last decades, the building and construction sectors have been transformed through the integration of computer based planning instruments and the digitalization of processes. A large player in this is building information modelling (BIM), a method facilitating the many fields in this sector through increasing capabilities and efficiency. Furthermore, increasing consciousness for environmental sustainability and energy consumption also see its influences in the building and construction sector, in large due to legal regulations. The application of energy simulation tools in combination with building information modelling presents many possibilities, yet also a large vulnerability exists in the seamless data exchange between its interfaces. In this paper, the BIM method and its underlying concepts and processes are outlined. Moreover, its current role in Germany as well as its implementation internationally are presented. Energy needs analysis and its special requirements, as well as its realization into the BIM method have then been outlined. This necessitates a further analysis of the popular common data exchange formats in this domain. Two of these formats are examined in greater detail with regards to their content and structure.

  • First International Geogebra Conference 2009
    Report of the First International GeoGebra Conference 2009 July 14 and 15, 2009 at the RISC in Hagenberg near Linz, Austria Abstract The principal aim of the First International GeoGebra Conference 2009 was to discuss the direction and vision the GeoGebra community should take in the future. On July 14th and 15th, 2009, a group of 114 people from 35 countries met for the First International GeoGebra Conference in Hagenberg, Austria at the RISC institute of the Johannes Kepler University Linz. During these two days researchers, developers, and teachers discussed and shared their experiences and ideas concerning GeoGebra in five working groups: Software Development and Online Systems; Teaching Experiences in Primary and Secondary Schools; Creation of Instructional Materials; GeoGebra at Universities and in Teacher Education; GeoGebra Institutes and Research. This report summarizes the GeoGebra related experiences of the conference participants as well as outcomes of the working group discussions and future plans for the development of GeoGebra and its user community.

  • A Brief Tour to Dynamic Geometry Software Boyko B
    A Brief Tour to Dynamic Geometry Software Boyko B. Bantchev February, 2010 What is dynamic geometry software? A dynamic geometry (DG) program is a computer program for interactive creation and manipulation of geometric constructions. A characteristuc feature of such programs is that they build a geometric model of objects, such as points, lines, circles, etc., together with the dependencies that may relate the objects to each other. The user can manipulate the model by moving some of its parts, and the program accordingly – and instantly – changes the other parts, so that the constraints are preserved. By contrast with programs that just create images, a drawing in a DG program is a visualisation of an abstract model (of geometric nature) and, in particular, provides a visual initerface for its manipulation. DG programs vary significantly in their drawing capabilities, but they are all centred around geometric modelling. A geometric model may be used for visualising complex geometric data, for doing calculations – including symbolic, for building and testing geometric hypotheses, or for creating geometrically precise illustrations to be used in printed documents or on the Web. Model building in most DG systems starts with creating a set of independent, freely existing objects – usually points, and proceeds by constructing ones that are dependent on the former through being geometrically related to them. Most geometry programs currently in use are designed for planar geometry, but a few allow for spatial constructions as well. Some of the systems automate proving geometry theorems, or provide assistance in finding such proofs. Uses & features of DG programs Typical uses of DG programs are: • graphical presentation of geometry on the screen; • exploring geometric properties, testing hypotheses; • visualising complex data; • geometric reasoning; • illustrations in document preparation; • illustrations for the Web; • libraries for geometric programming.
