Sažetak
It is necessary to get involved actively in the process of acquiring knowledge to learn mathematical contents successfully. The theory of constructivism emphasizes student's individual activity in which he/she creates his/her own knowledge through his/her own experience, while the teacher prepares and shapes the environment for learning and encourages and guides students in their independent learning. The aim of this approach is for students to learn how to learn, and Polya's problem-solving model provides an answer how to perform in practice - in 4 steps: understanding the problem, devising a plan, carrying out the plan and reflection. In teaching practice, this can be achieved by using discovery learning or inquiry based learning. In mathematics, dynamic geometry software can be of great help because of its possibilities to display the dynamism and interactivity of mathematical objects so it provides a dynamic virtual environment for research. Among such programs GeoGebra is distinguished because it's free and open source, translated into Croatian, intuitive and easy-to-use tool, combing elements of geometry, algebra, analysis and statistics. Moreover, the community of its users on the Internet is large and very active so there are more and more completed examples that can be used in everyday teaching. There were various problems the author encountered in her teaching practice when trying to implement the ideas described above, so she opted for action research which seeks to respond to the problem: how to help students to discovery learn new mathematical terms, concepts and ideas individually by using computer and GeoGebra . This article describes the research and presents a report on the achieved action research with second grade students in High school Čazma in Čazma.
