  • Enhancing secondary school students' productive disposition using GeoGebra software integrated process oriented guided inquiry learning in geometry

    Open AccessGizachew Belay, Kassa Michael et al.ARTICLEDiscover Education2026

    Ethiopian secondary school students have been noted to show low interactions, lack of confidence and feelings negativity towards geometry because they are taught geometry through traditional methods, which focus on memorization rather than conceptual learning. This paper addressed the effects of integrating GeoGebra software with Process-Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (GGS-POGIL) with respect to productive disposition of secondary school studen…

  • Validating geometry achievement test using one-parameter logistic model

    Mekbib Alemu, Vanessa Kind et al.ARTICLECompare A Journal of Comparative…2019References: 3

    This investigation of physics teacher education in Ethiopia reveals a significant gap between the physics knowledge of pre-service teachers (PSTs) attained during training and that of the intended curriculum setting out expectations for their knowledge. Data were obtained by a test probing PSTs’ physics knowledge (attained curriculum); analysis of teacher education curriculum documents (intended); and video-recording, observation and analysis of …
