Niroj Dahal; Binod Prasad Pant; Bal Chandra Luitel; Basanta Raj Lamichhane; Tara Paudel – Online Submission, 2024
This research explores two methods through which ten preservice math teachers develop an understanding of trigonometric values. Using the unit circle, preservice math teachers engage in knowledge-building activities such as paper folding and GeoGebra application. Grounded in Altman and Kidron's 2016 didactical design research, this study examines…

Nordlander, Maria Cortas – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
The purpose of this paper is to follow the reasoning of high school students when asked to explain the standard trigonometric limit lim/[theta][right arrow] sin[theta]/[theta]. An observational study was conducted in four different phases in order to investigate if visualization, by means of an interactive technology environment (Geogebra), can…

Kepceoglu, Ibrahim; Yavuz, llyas – Educational Research and Reviews, 2016
Being one of the major subjects in high school mathematics curriculum, trigonometry links algebraic, geometric and graphical reasoning. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of GeoGebra in the teaching of the concept of the periodicity of trigonometric functions. In this study, it is investigated how effective is the dynamic…

Naidoo, Jayaluxmi; Govender, Reginald – Pythagoras, 2014
Trigonometry is an important section in mathematics that links algebraic, geometric and graphical reasoning. Many secondary school learners are not familiar with these types of reasoning; thus, trigonometry presents a challenge for these learners. The traditional 'chalk and talk' method of teaching trigonometry is used by many teachers; however,…

Ross, John A.; Bruce, Catherine D.; Sibbald, Timothy M. – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications: An International Journal of the IMA, 2011
Studies incorporating technology into the teaching of trigonometry, although sparse, have demonstrated positive effects on student achievement. The optimal sequence for integrating technology with teacher-led mathematics instruction has not been determined. Our research investigated whether technology has a greater impact on student achievement…

Dugdale, Sharon – Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 1990
The third in a series of 3 articles, a study of 30 students was conducted to test the effect of restructuring a unit on trigonometric identities around microcomputer activities based on the themes of educational undercurrents identified in Part II. Experimental-group students scored significantly higher relating trigonometric functions to their…
