Overview of Elementary Students Knowledge Creation Using Dynamic Geometry Environment

Abstract

Education now requires knowledge creation to find out how meaningful the learning is applied by the teacher so that it helps build understanding in students. This study aims to analyze how the development of knowledge creation of elementary school students when using ICT learning media, namely dynamic geometry environment. In this study using descriptive correlational research with quantitative and qualitative approaches. The results of the descriptive correlation analysis revealed that the use of DGE by elementary school students increases knowledge creation by positively influencing the processes of socialization, externalization, combination, and internalization. The results of this study show positive results on aspects of combination and internalization. The results of this study also indicate the importance of adopting an appropriate ICT orientation if knowledge creation. This is consistent with the idea that individuals using DGE can search for data and turn it into information but may not be involved in learning unless the data is structured appropriately.

Keywords
