Pre-service mathematics teacher students often find geometrical concepts that are difficult to understand.This results in a decrease in interest in geometry.The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of using 'GeoGebra' on the mathematics achievement of pre-service mathematics teacher students in space geometry learning.The study was a quasi-experimental design.A total of 56 students were selected from the mathematics education program of Tidar University, a state university located in Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia.The experimental group ( 27) was taught about the slice plane in the prism and pyramid using GeoGebra while the control group (29) was taught using traditional teaching methods.The research data were obtained from a test consisting of six questions and questionnaire consists of nine items.At the end of the treatment, students' mathematics achievement was measured using a post-test.The data were then analyzed using an independent T-test.The results showed that GeoGebra was an effective tool for teaching and learning space geometry in college.
