Abstract

Mathematics teaching management found that the students had a mathematical misconception that affected mathematics learning at the next level. This study was conducted on learning management approaches based on the inquiry cycle learning method with the application STAD technique combines the GeoGebra program to develop mathematical concepts. The purposes of this study were: 1) to study the inquiry cycle learning method with the application of the STAD technique, which combines the GeoGebra program to develop mathematical concepts on factoring polynomials of the second degree, and 2) to compare mathematical concepts on factoring polynomials of second degree before and after learning management. The participants were 33 grade 8 students of Khaokaew Wittayasan School by purposive sampling method. Research tools consisted of lesson plans and mathematical concept tests. The data were analyzed by content analysis and the Wilcoxon test. The results showed that the learning management consisted of 5 steps as follows: 1) engagement, 2) exploration, 3) explanation 4) elaboration, and                         5) evaluation. After the learning management, there were higher mathematical concept scores with statistical significance at the .05 level, explaining that the learning management based on the inquiry cycle learning method with the application STAD technique combines the GeoGebra program to develop mathematical concepts can develop students' mathematical concepts. The results of this study will help providing guidelines for mathematics learning management in order to develop students in various areas, including technology using, problem-solving, and geometric proofs.
