Abstract

The research objective is to improve the ability to understand the concept of material transformation through the implementation of ICT-based learning using the Sketchpad Geometer software for Karai 1 Tebat Middle School students in Kepahiang District. Method, this research is a comparative descriptive study. The sample is grade IX students totaling 30 people. Data analysis uses descriptive comparative analysis. After descriptive comparative continued reflective. The results of the study, an increase from the initial conditions the average value of students from 44.67 to 65.83 in the first cycle and rose to 77.42 in the second cycle.
