Course Objectives

The general objective of the project is to investigate the development of students' ability in transformational geometry concepts (translations, reflections and rotations) and the effects of two interactive dynamic resources on this ability. The specific purposes of the study are the following:

1) to investigate the development of  students' ability on transformational geometry concepts (translations, reflections and rotations),

2) to develop activities for teaching transformations with two different interactive dynamic educational resources to elementary school students,

3) to investigate the effect that two different types of interactive dynamic educational resources for teaching transformational geometry have on different types of students,

4) to design tests for measuring students' ability on transformational geometry and spatial abilities, and a self-report questionnaire for assessing their cognitive styles.

Scientific and technological objectives

The scientific objectives of the project are:

(a) to investigate the development of students' ability in transformational geometry (specifically the concepts of translation, reflection and rotation),

(b) to supply the teachers with activities and information about interactive dynamic educational resources for teaching transformational geometry, and

(c) to provide to the teachers and researchers instruments for measuring elementary school students' abilities in transformational geometry.

The technological development of the project is to provide a review of possible characteristics that different types of interactive-dynamic educational resources may have, with examples of software and mathematical applets for teaching trans formational geometry. Therefore, a rich database of interactive-dynamic educational resources for teaching Euclidean transformations will be developed, with a description of each resource's characteristics. Additionally, the development of a Website will inform teachers about the program and about transformational geometry concepts and it will provide open access to the database of resources and activities.
