ISSUES AND CHALLENGES IN THE USE OF GEOGEBRA IN TEACHING AND LEARNING OF MATHEMATICS IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN MAKURDI METROPOLIS Adamu Garba Department of Business Administration, Nasarawa State University, Keffi, Nasarawa State ABSTRACT This research work examined the issues and challenges in the use of GeoGebra in teaching and learning of Mathematics in Secondary Schools in Makurdi metropolis. Survey research design was adopted for the study. The population of 190 students and 10 teachers were used as respondents for the study. The researcher used both primary and secondary sources obtained by the use of a well structured questionnaire. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency, simple percentages. Confirmatory factor analysis was used for to test the validity of the instrument while the Cronbach Alpha Coefficient was used to establish the reliability of the instrument. The result of the study showed that unavailability or no computer is the major challenges preventing teaching and learning of Mathematics in the selected Secondary Schools in the study area this is followed by low teacher competence as one of the challenges preventing the use of GeoGebra in the teaching and learning of Mathematics in the selected Secondary Schools in the study area. Unavailability of GeoGebra software and erratic power supply are some of the factors. It was concluded that with the availability of dynamic mathematics software, like GeoGebra, teachers will be able to make graphical representations of mathematics concepts and thus present difficult concepts in a very clear and unambiguous manner. It was recommended among others that Policy makers and school authorities should consider the acquisition of computer and GeoGebra software so that they can improve on the level of comprehension of mathematics being taught in school.
