Abstract :

In the present decade, multi-media as one of the modern educational means have greatly helped the development of knowledge in information age. Graphical images have been the fundamental element of multimedia in promoting creativity in the design of learning environment. Dynamic graphical images are designed to increase learning and are used in development of educational softwares. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of dynamic and static graphical images on learning of geometry. The research method was a quasi-experimental one. Three hypotheses were developed with respect to comparing the effect of dynamic and static graphical images on the learning of geometry through traditional method. Before the interference of the independent variable, pre-test was performed to determine the homogeneity of the groups. The population of the study consists of secondary school girls in Tehran. Three district of Tehran were randomly chosen as the sample by using cluster sampling method. From each district one school and from each school one class with 30 students were chosen and studied. An independent t test was used to study the mean differences among groups. The results indicated that there was no significant statistical difference between the means of the groups.
