Abstract

Many results on computer mediated geometry learning conclude about different heuristic approaches to problem solving with Dynamic Geometry Software (DGS). However, little is described concerning conceptualization process. We used a theoretical framework built upon constructivist foundations for analyzing mediated learning of specific geometrical concepts. Our point is illustrated in a case study in which we analyzed studentsí interaction with a DGS. Our results points to a clear mapping of potential conceptualization of geometry in software using.
