The Potential of GeoGebra Exploration in Supporting Multiple Representation Ability

Abstract

Abstract The ability of multiple representations is an essential ability to solve problems in learning mathematics. Problems in learning mathematics are still a matter of material that is too abstract. The way to reduce the abstractness is to convert them into representations that are easier to understand. In learning mathematics, there is software that can provide various forms of representations (symbolic, visual, and verbal), namely GeoGebra. The purpose of this study is to describe the ability of multiple representations through the potential of GeoGebra exploration. This study uses quantitative and qualitative methods (mixed methods) with convergent parallel strategies. Data taken through tests, response questionnaires, and observations. The results show that the ability of multiple representations that appear in the form of symbolic, visual, and verbal representations with the percentage of students sequentially by 81%, 100%, and 81%. This is supported by the results of a positive student response questionnaire to the potential of GeoGebra exploration regarding student interest in learning mathematics when using GeoGebra and the ability of students to display multiple representations of mathematical material through GeoGebra.
