The Benefits of Collaborative Learning in Examining Functions with Parameters in Dynamic Software Environment I

In this paper the efficiency of collaborative learning of functions, of the functions with parameters, in GeoGebra environment is analyzed. The research was conducted during the calculus course at the University of Novi Sad, Serbia, with the students with two groups of students, major physics and chemistry. The students in the experimental group learned in small, four member groups, formed by using Kagan’s (1994) principles, and the students in the control group learned individually. The students from both groups learned in GeoGebra environment. Their work is compared and analyzed.
