A Novel Method for Teaching Geometry Concepts using Ontologies

This research explores using ontology to enhance geometry education, addressing students’ difficulties in understanding the subject. Traditional teaching methods do not effectively utilize computer capabilities. The study examines how an ontology, encompassing the Hellenic Curriculum for second-grade Junior High School and additional materials, can improve teaching methods. Developed with student input, the ontology was applied over a school year. Results indicate that this approach facilitates better understanding and application of geometric concepts, offering a structured framework, organizing concepts, and creating personalized, interactive learning experiences for both students and teachers.
