THE POTENTIAL OF DYNAMIC GEOMETRY FOR INQUIRY BASED EDUCATION

Inquiry-based education has recently been strongly developing direction with respect to the pedagogical theory of constructivism, sensualism, epistemology and theory of modelling in response to new trends in education, demonstrated in more intense application of activities oriented to a change of acquiring and mastering of new knowledge by pupils including active use of information and communication technologies in lessons and in individual preparation for lessons. Maths teaching does not fall behind as well starting from the 1st grade elementary school through secondary and high school to preparation of future teachers of mathematics at the university. Very suitable area of mathematics for independent research and pupil discovery is geometry which invites you to enter inquiry-oriented problems. The situation is enhanced by the potential of dynamic geometry software that are especially suitable for independent inquiry and experimentation.
