Makale Özeti:

The newly founded universities increase the number of high school graduates taking a seat in a university class. Among them the ones who
are not well prepared in mathematics, mostly in the social sciences students, face learning difficulties in the first year mathematics course at undergraduate level. The notion of the function which is the foundation of the first year undergraduate mathematics course is a difficult part of mathematics curriculum especially for the under risk new students of
social sciences. To overcome the problem, an intervention is applied in the course as Geogebra creating visual learning environment. Teaching of function is organized with the method of contextual teaching and learning
(CTL) by using the REACT strategy. The instruction is started with the Relating, the first step of strategy, to reach each student’s background to relate it with their daily life. Critical Incident Questionnaire (CIQ) is used
to get students’ reflection about the lecture and has used the reflections, especially the ones who see the point of relating, to form the sample group of the study. The activity including geogebra is developed to apply
second step of strategy as Experiencing. The task is organized as to investigate the effects of change in the parameters of a linear function.
After analysing research documents, findings reveal that students have
benefits from two important words as visual and concrete in dealing with
Geogebra as a member of Dynamic and Interactive Mathematics
Learning Environments (DIMLE).
