FMIPA UI Provides CAS Training on GeoGebra in 2-Dimensional Analytical Geometry for High School Teachers in Jabodetabek

The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Indonesia (FMIPA UI) through the Department of Mathematics provides training and education to high school teachers in Depok and its surroundings, on Friday, November 18, 2022 at the Mathematics Department Teaching Laboratory, UI Campus, Depok.

The training provided is about the use of CAS software (Computer Algebra System) on GeoGebra in 2-dimensional analytical geometry. A total of 39 participants attended this activity. Also present were the head of the Depok High School Mathematics MGMP, Mr. Subejo, S.Pd., MM. and the Head of the Jakarta High School Mathematics MGMP, Mr. Iman Santoso, M.Pd.

Head of the Mathematics Department Prof. Alhadi Bustamam, M.Kom., Ph.D. said that this training activity is a form of concern of the Mathematics Department of FMIPA UI in order to realize the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, namely community service.

"The purpose of this training is so that teachers in the Jabodetabek area, especially in the Depok area, can utilize technological advances in the form of CAS on GeoGebra in the teaching and learning process," said Prof. Alhadi to the FMIPA UI public relations team.

GeoGebra, according to the data science expert, is one of the software (software) which is easy to use to learn analytical geometry interactively and helps in creating analytical geometry problems. This software can be run on Android, iOS, Linux and Windows operating systems.

This software can be downloaded for free on desktop computers, laptop computers, tablets and mobile phones. This program was created by Markus Hohenwarter at the University of Salzburg, Austria in 2001.

“GeoGebra has several perspectives in viewing mathematical objects, including: Graphing and Computer Algebra System (CAS),” he added.

Manager of Research and Community Service of FMIPA UI Dr. Dipo Aldila, M.Si. in his speech "FMIPA UI encourages and fully supports community service activities by all lecturers in FMIPA. This activity is expected to be a downstreaming of research results in the campus environment, while also being able to provide real benefits to the community," said Dr. Dipo.

The activity was continued with the presentation of material by Dr. Hengki Tasman, S.Si., M.Si. The material presented was the theory of geometric objects in 2-dimensional space (such as lines, circles, line bundles and circle bundles) using the CAS perspective. Several examples of problems solved using the perspective were also given. CAS and Graphing.

The other lecturers as resource persons are Dra. Siti Aminah, M.Kom., Dra. Nora Hariadi, M.Si., Rahmi Rusin, S.Si., M.Sc.Tech., Ph.D., Dra. Bevina D. Handari, M.Sc., Ph.D. and Prof. Alhadi Bustamam, S.Si., M.Kom., Ph.D.

This training also involved students of the Masters program of the Department of Mathematics, FMIPA UI, namely Rahma Rosaliana Saraswati and students of the S1 study program, namely Muhammad Daffa, Hanif Pramudya, Rafi Alvanzah, Owen Mulianto, as training assistants. The activity ended with practice and discussion between participants, resource persons as facilitators and training assistants.
