Abstract

The introduction briefly describes the characteristic features of Dynamic Geometry Software (DGS) to give the main reasons for the selection of papers in this ZDM-volume. Research on every characteristic DGS-feature (dragmode, macro-constructions, locus of points) is presented in one paper from an author having done research on the feature. The last paper describes an example of classroom research on DGS.

Kurzreferat

Die Einleitung beschreibt die Charakteristika (Zugmodus, Makro-Konstruktion, Ortslinie) des Software-Typs “Dynamische Geometrie Software (DGS)” und erklärt so die Konzeption dieses Heftes. Je ein Beitrag stellt nämlich Forschungen zu einem dieser Charakteristika dar, während der letzte Beitrag Ergebnisse einer Untersuchung zum unterrichtlichen Einsatz von DGS berichtet.
