Aplikasi Geogebra Dalam Meningkatkan Kemampuan Pemahaman Konsep Siswa Kelas VIII SMP IT Bina Bangsa Pada Mata Pelajaran Matematika

Abstract

Computer technology is very important for the world of education, namely as a tool that can be used to improve the implementation of educational programs in the learning process and in improving student learning outcomes. To make mathematical material more specific, user-friendly Geogebra software is provided. The software was developed by Hohenwarter and aims to make learning easier for students. Therefore, educators need to be trained more deeply in the use of technology, in this case how to use the GeoGebra software. Learning media is needed to improve students' low understanding of mathematical concepts in Indonesia. Media that are considered effective include the GeoGebra application. The GeoGebra application is dynamic mathematics software for all levels of education that brings together geometry, algebra, spreadsheets, graphics, statistics and calculus in one engine.If students' interest in participating in class learning is very low, conditions that are allowed to continue can of course result in students' low understanding of concepts which will later affect student learning outcomes, therefore the GeoGebra application has a big influence on understanding concepts to facilitate the learning of mathematics that will be studied. . One example of the use of the GeoGebra program in learning mathematics is that it can produce geometric drawings quickly and accurately compared to using a pencil, ruler or compass. This socialization activity took place in the IT Bina Bangsa Middle School Hall involving 39 students from VII. This activity was attended by the Principal and the Teacher Council with resource person Mrs. Desty Endrawati Subroto M. Pd. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that using the GeoGebra application on quadrilateral congruence material can improve the conceptual understanding ability of class VIII SMP IT Bina Bangsa students.
