Pitta-Pantazi, Demetra; Christou, Constantinos – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2009
This paper reports the outcomes of an empirical study undertaken to investigate the effect of students' cognitive styles on achievement in measurement tasks in a dynamic geometry learning environment, and to explore the ability of dynamic geometry learning in accommodating different cognitive styles and enhancing students' learning. A total of 49…

Christou, Constantinos; Pittalis, Marios; Mousoulides, Nicholas; Jones, Keith – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2006
Designing successful learning environments entails drawing on theoretical perspectives on learning while, at the same time, being cognisant of the affordances and constraints of the technology. This paper reports on the development of a software environment called "3DMath", a dynamic three-dimensional geometry microworld aimed at enabling learners…

Christou, Constantinos; Mousoulides, Nikos; Pittalis, Marios; Pitta-Pantazi, Demetra – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2004
The recent development of powerful new technologies such as dynamic geometry software (DGS) with drag capability has made possible the continuous variation of geometric configurations and allows one to quickly and easily investigate whether particular conjectures are true or not. Because of the inductive nature of the DGS, the…
