Guven, Bulent – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2012
This study examines the effect of dynamic geometry software (DGS) on students' learning of transformation geometry. A pre- and post-test quasi-experimental design was used. Participants in the study were 68 eighth grade students (36 in the experimental group and 32 in the control group). While the experimental group students were studying the…

Baki, Adnan; Guven, Bulent – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications: An International Journal of the IMA, 2009
The study reported in this article deals with the observed actions of Turkish pre-service mathematics teachers in dynamic geometry environment (DGE) as they were learning Khayyam's method for solving cubic equations formed as x[superscript 3] + ax = b. Having learned the method, modelled it in DGE and verified the correctness of the solution,…

Guven, Bulent; Karatas, Ilhan – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2009
Dynamic geometry software (DGS) such as Cabri and Geometers' Sketchpad has been regularly used worldwide for teaching and learning Euclidean geometry for a long time. The DGS with its inductive nature allows students to learn Euclidean geometry via explorations. However, with respect to non-Euclidean geometries, do we need to introduce them to…

Guven, Bulent – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications: An International Journal of the IMA, 2008
As any ordinary person knows, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. What, then, is the shortest distance between three points? Four points? The study reported in this article deals with the observed actions of Turkish student mathematics teachers as they were working with minimal network problems. Having analysed the…
