摘要：
This study aims to determine the relationship between using technology (GeoGebra software (GGS) to increase students' confidence with mathematics. A quantitative method was employed in this study. The research sample consists of 37 8th grade students (two classes) from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. In the research, a Students Confidence in Mathematics Scale (SCM) was used. This scale was drawn from the TIMSS 2015 questionnaire, and translated into Arabic, then administered to the students twice, before and after using the GeoGebra Software. Frequency, percentage, average, standard deviation, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and correlation analysis were applied using SPSS for data analysis. According to the SCM scale, the percentages for students' confidence in mathematics changed. Moreover, there was a significant impact from using GGS in terms of enhancing the student's confidence in mathematics.
