Abstract

The study aimed to identify the degree of secondary school mathematics teachers' employment of software applications in teaching the area unit. The study followed the descriptive analytical approach and was applied to a random sample of (44) mathematics secondary school teachers in Jazan region. The study relied on the questionnaire as a tool for collecting data. The results of the study showed that the degree of secondary school mathematics teachers' employment of software applications was moderate, while the challenges facing teachers in employing software applications was high. The proposals that can be used to overcome the difficulties facing secondary school mathematics teachers in teaching the logic unit were high. The results of the study also showed that there were no statistically significant differences in teachers' responses in the degree of employment of software applications, attributed to years of experience, academic qualifications, and job grade. The study recommends the need to enhance the design and adoption of policies, programs, and action plans to integrate software applications into teaching and learning mathematics, as well as spreading awareness about the use of software applications in teaching and learning mathematics.
