COGNITIVE APPRENTICESHIP MODEL WITH GEOGEBRA AND ITS EFFECT ON ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT IN GEOMETRY OF ON YEAR EIGHT RURAL SCHOOL STUDENTS

Mathematics plays a significant role in accelerating the social, economic, and technological development of a nation. It is evident in the developing countries, as the nations are rapidly moving towards globalization in all aspects. The world of today tends more profoundly on science and technology demands with additional mathematical knowledge on the part of its people. Thus it is necessary to prepare the child with a strong base of Mathematical knowledge to face the challenges of the modern technological society. This study was conducted to scrutinize the effects of Cognitive Apprenticeship model with GeoGebra and its Effect on Academic Achievement in Geometry of on year eight rural school students. This study was conducted with eighty in two intact classes in Lautoka District in Fiji. The school was selected randomly using the lottery method. After selection the students were classified into two groups one as ICTCAM group and the other as CI group. There were 40 students in each group, and intelligence was kept as Covariate. It was an experimental study of Two by three factorial design was used. The students were also classified into three types of learners according to their standards of learning styles through the LSI
