Abstract
The problem of interest in online learning becomes a fundamental problem in learning Analytical Geometry. Students’ interest in learning Analytical Geometry was a problem that should be solved. Student interest in learning can influence student achievement. This paper focuses on students taking Analytical Geometry at a private university in Indonesia. Analytical Geometry is one of the branches of mathematics that is abstract and requires students’ visual skills. Hence, lecturers are key in inculcating students’ interest in learning. One alternative that can be used to inculcate students’ interest in learning is to use GeoGebra Software. This research is a descriptive-quantitative study. The sample used was students of the class who took Analytical Geometry. 41 students made up the total sample. Non-test instruments are used, with questionnaires distributed via the Microsoft Office Form. The formulation of the research problem is to find out how students’ interest in learning is while studying Analytical Geometry, especially using GeoGebra. This research aims to see whether students are more interested in learning when using GeoGebra. As a result, this can serve as a reference for lecturers to practice using GeoGebra in future teaching. The results showed that students’ interest in learning was mostly in good categories. This implies that using GeoGebra can address the problem of students’ interest in learning Analytical Geometry.
