| Abstract | ||
| The study was designed to support Prospective Mathematics Teachers (PMTs) on developing algebraic problem posing skills using GeoGebra environment. The Purpose of the study were to evaluate how PMTs develop new algebraic problems using GeoGebra, and to analyze how GeoGebra is a supported environment for these tasks. The sample of the study is composed of twenty PMTs in their final grade of College of Education, Sultan Qaboos University who were enrolled in “Methods of Teaching Mathematics” course on Fall 2012. The participants were administered problem posing tasks in Algebra which encompassed the topic of “Problem Solving and Applications of Algebra” as a part of the course. A learning environment with GeoGebra encouraged PMTs to propose new problems and confirm the forecasted through experiment. According to the results of the study, some of PMTs tended to perceive GeoGebra as not merely a tool but rather an environment for learning Algebra. They viewed GeoGebra as serving the purpose of supporting problem posing skills. | ||
