Abstract
The change in technology manifests itself in the restructuring of mathematics teaching and learning processes. Effective use of information and communications technology (ICT) in learning environments has gained importance. The ability to prepare technology-based course materials is currently one of the competencies of teachers. In this study, within the scope of the Erasmus+ project titled ‘Math Teachers’ Adventure of ICT Integration’, mathematics teachers were offered an online course called ‘Teaching Mathematics with GeoGebra,’ which combines geometry, algebra, graphs, statistics and calculus in a single interface. It is both a dynamic geometry software program and a computer algebra system. The aim of this study is to examine the course materials developed by teachers using GeoGebra and determine the errors in their materials. The technology-pedagogy-content knowledge model was used as the framework for the content analysis. Based on the results, suggestions for both in-service training of teachers and future research were presented.
Keywords: GeoGebra; ICT; course material; technology enhanced mathematics teaching.
