The effectiveness of the GeoGebra Programme in the development of academic achievement and survival of the learning impact of the mathematics among secondary stage students Mansour Saleh Alabdulaziz 1 & Sarah Mubarak Aldossary 1 & Sahar Abdulaziz Alyahya 1 & Hind Muhareb Althubiti 1 Received: 16 July 2020 / Accepted: 23 October 2020/ # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2020
Abstract The objective of this research is to identify the effectiveness of the GeoGebra program in developing academic achievement and ensuring survival of the learning impact of the mathematics among female secondary stage students. To achieve this objective, an experimental approach was applied. This consisted of a quasi-experimental design comprising an experimental group and control group with pre, post, and deferred assessments for both groups. The research was conducted with a random sample of 60 female third grade of secondary stage divided into two groups: an experimental group comprising 30 students who studied using the GeoGebra program and a control group comprising 30 students who studied in the traditional manner. The measurement tool consisted of an achievement test on scientific concepts in a polar coordinates and complex numbers unit at different cognitive levels (Application-Analysis). This was pre-applied to both groups in the second term of 2020. At the end of the experiment, the post application was conducted, and the deferred test was applied 10 days later. The results revealed that the experimental group were superior to the control group in achievement scores and survival of learning impact. Based on the findings, the researchers recommend the inclusion of GeoGebra program in mathematics curricula at various stages of education. They further recommend including this program in mathematics in general, and in polar coordinates geometry and complex numbers in particular. Keywords Mathematics . GeoGebra program .

Education and Information Technologies
1 Introduction Modern technologies, including educational technical applications, have helped to create an interactive learning environment that has had a positive impact on students’ understanding of scientific concepts and levels of mathematical achievement. Emphasizing the importance of such educational applications, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) in the USA (2008) issued the principles and standards of school mathematics. Technology was included as a fundamental principle on which mathematics is based. This principle states that technology is a vital tool for teaching mathematics in the twenty-first century and all schools must ensure that their students are able to use it. An effective teacher is the one who maximizes the role of technology when developing the student’s mathematics knowledge and raises their level of mathemat
