Abstract

Students’ poor performance in Geometry is due to their problem in visualizing. Therefore, teaching strategy for Geometry should be embedded with visualization techniques. Visual learning Geometry Kits also known as VLGeo-Kits, is a teaching approach that consists of 3-Dimension blocks, screencast video and SketchUp Make. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of VLGeo-Kits in developing students’ performance in Geometry for topic Plans and Elevations. This study was conducted using a quasi-experimental single group pre-post-test which was employed for five weeks. A total of 54 form three students were involved in this study. Van Hiele Geometrical Thinking (vHGT) test was given to the samples before and after their learning using VLGeo-Kits. The findings showed very positive development in geometry thinking after learning using VLGeo-Kits. It was found that, none of the samples was at visualization level and majority of the students (59.3%) were at informal deductive level. The finding indicated that the students’ level of vHGT after learning using VLGeo-Kits was higher as compared to without using VLGeo-Kits. In addition, Z obtained with p-value was -5.982 proving there was a significant difference in students’ level of vHGT test before and after learning using VLGeo-Kits. In conclusion, the findings showed that VLGeo-Kits had succeeded in enhancing students’ level of geometrical thinking. Hence, this teaching approach should be implemented in the curricular of mathematics for secondary school.
