Developing a framework for characterizing student-created diagrams in DGEs

Dynamic geometry environment (DGE) offers a wide range of tools for its users to create and interact with geometry diagrams. In this paper, I propose a framework to characterize the geometry diagrams learners create in DGEs. This framework considers a learner’s approach to creating a geometry diagram (i.e., perceptual-based, measurement-based, construction-based, and transformation-based), the driving force that guides the learner’s specific actions in a DGE (i.e., tool-driven, and property-driven), and constraints in the resulting diagram (i.e., drawing, underconstrained, overconstrained, and appropriately constrained). Examples of student work on one geometry construction problem are used to illustrate the use of the framework.
