AWARENESS OF GEOMETRICAL CONCEPTS THROUGH LESSON STUDY}, author = {Adulyasas Lilla and Abdul Rahman Shafia}, url = {http://eprints.uny.ac.id/23190/}, abstract = {Students? performance in geometry and hence, their geometric thinking remain a concern for researchers globally. This quasi-experimental research design aims to investigate the effects of Phase-Based Instruction (LS-PBI) using Geometer?s Sketch Pad to reveal Thai students awareness of geometric concepts. Three groups of mixed ability Grade 7 students (aged 12 ? 13) were chosen as participants in one of the schools in Yala Province, Thailand. These groups were taught the topic of Properties of 2D and 3D geometric shapes in a cycle of three instructions by three different teachers engaging in Lesson Study method. A twelve-item multiple choices test was administered to students in each group before and after each lesson study session to assess their understanding of geometrical concepts. Findings of the pre-tests and post-tests revealed that LS-PBI using GSP was effective in revealing students? shifts in awareness of geometrical concepts.
