ABSTRACT
Learners in the 21st century need technological support in the learning process because of the
advancements made in technology for teaching and learning. A GeoGebra-oriented classroom
uses one of these technologies that can be implemented in the classroom. The new developed
cycle model implemented in the study and explored the effect of using GeoGebra mathematical
software on students’ perceptions to using GeoGebra software to learn calculus. A mixed research
methodology was employed. In the quantitative part of the study, a closed-ended questionnaires
were used by clustering into themes and interview for the qualitative part of the study. The study
was conducted at a university in Ethiopia that lasts for four weeks, and the university was selected
purposively. The quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS version 27 while the qualitative data
were coded into themes and analyzed using computer software ATLAS.ti 9. Students expressed
positive perceptions towards the use of GeoGebra for learning differential calculus and 74% of
students were satisfied with the preferences of the GeoGebra lesson-oriented course offered in
the study while 70% were also interested in scaffolding activities and activities included in the
developed model during interventions.
