ABSTRACT
A quasi
experimental study (non equivalent control group design) compares two
strategies in teaching and learning which used Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT) or not. National Council of Teacher of Mathematics (NCTM)
said that technology has an important role in learning, especially give
influence in the mathematics learning process. Ekawati (2008) found that
teaching mathematics by using technology increased students’ motivation,
support individual learning and increase students’ achievement. Two classes of
grade ten were participated in the study. Control group was taught by using
traditional teaching method that is lecturing, while treatment group was taught
by using ICT (Microsoft Mathematics software). Evaluation students’ achievement
was collected before and after treatment by giving post-test. This study found
that students’ achievement who taught by using Microsoft Mathematics is higher
than who taught by traditional teaching methodologies. read more..
