ABSTRACT: This study investigates pre-service teachers’
attitudes toward mathematics and math
teaching using GeoGebra. The research employs attitudes questionnaires
to assess beliefs and explores the impact of high-tech software on educational
patterns. The study involves 80 pre-service
teachers attending GeoGebra courses at Sakhnin Academic College in
Northern Israel. Findings reveal enhanced emotional and behavioral aspects for
the majority, though cognitive improvement is
not observed uniformly. Two distinct groups emerge: one showing no
significant change (10%) and another with significant improvement (90%). The study suggests a shift toward
investigating practices for bridging theory and practice, emphasizing
the importance of collaborative work in enhancing attitudes and critical
thinking skills.
