GeoPUB: A 3d Interactive Visualization Tool for Solid Geometry Learning and Volume Calculations

This study investigated the validity of GeoPUB, short for Geometry Pop-Up Book, a 3D interactive visualization tool for enhancing solid geometry learning and volume calculations among Grade 7 students at Linga National High School.The primary objective is to assess whether GeoPUB improves spatial reasoning and comprehension of solid shapes compared to traditional teaching materials.A quasi-experimental quantitative research design was employed to facilitate a structured comparison between the effectiveness of GeoPUB and conventional methods.This design was chosen because it allows for the identification of causal relationships by measuring changes in student performance before and after the intervention, thereby providing robust statistical insights.Using simple random sampling, the researchers selected 25 students from a total population of 247.Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests, as well as custom-designed questionnaires to identify students' learning styles and evaluate their performance on volume calculations of various solid shapes.The study involved multiple-choice tests and interviews to gather comprehensive data on students' experiences.The findings reveal that GeoPUB, with its tactile and dynamic elements, significantly enhanced students' understanding of three-dimensional shapes and volume calculations, showing improved comprehension compared to traditional materials.These results support the potential of interactive, multisensory tools in promoting deeper mathematical understanding, aligning with the educational goals outlined in Sustainable Development Goal 4. The study contributes to the development of instructional materials and suggests innovative strategies to accommodate diverse learning styles, advocating for the integration of interactive resources in geometry education.
