Abstract

The availability of Dynamic Geometry Software (DGS) in the regular mathematics classroom has the potential of enriching and furthering the learning process, but also includes the danger of pitfalls due to peculiarities of Dynamic Geometry as well as side effects of the interactivity. In view of the forthcoming large scale introduction of DGS, it seems desirable to estimate its net outcome in terms of the influence on the learners' average achievement. Before elaborating on the shortand medium-term influence of DGS and differential effects of gender and achievement level, we position our approach in the research field by giving a synopsis of previous investigations on the impact of DGS in the classroom.
