Abstract
This study aimed to determine the impact of using the Cabri II Plus software on students’ achievement and motivation. A quasi-experimental research design was employed to investigate the effects of learning with Cabri II Plus software on the achievement and motivation of second-grade middle school students in the module covering right triangles and the Pythagorean theorem. The study comprised 70 participants, who were divided into two groups: experimental and control. Each group consisted of 35 participants. The study utilized two main tools: a student achievement test and a math motivation questionnaire. The experimental group used interactive activities with Cabri II Plus software, while the control group used existing activities from a textbook provided by the Moroccan Ministry of Education. Thus, the pre- and post-tests on the achievement and motivation scores were carried out for both groups. Analysis of covariance revealed a significant difference in favor of the experimental group in terms of the academic achievement scores (F [1, 67] = 52.12, p = .00 < .05) and the motivation scores (F [1, 67] = 94.08, p = .00 < .05). Thus, the students who used the Cabri II Plus program obtained higher motivation and achievement than their counterparts who did not use Cabri II Plus to learn the test module. The study’s findings also showed a strong, statistically significant positive relationship between academic achievement and motivation among the experimental group students in the post-tests and a moderate, statistically significant relationship between these variables among the control group students. Thus, the teaching method using the Cabri II Plus program has a greater positive impact on the relationship between academic achievement and motivation than traditional teaching methods. Based on the findings, integrating Cabri II Plus into the teaching process effectively improves students’ educational outcomes and fosters a more engaged and motivated learning environment.
