Abstract

In this paper we give a description of students' obstacles in their learning of geometry, especially resulted from their confusing a physical drawing with a figure, a geometrical object which a physical drawing represents. In computer-based teaching-learning environment, we could relieve such obstacles through providing students for experiences in which they must focus on elements of a figure and relations of them. But there may be potential in computer-based environment if we offer students only visual experience for validity of geometrical gacts: students' lack of understanding for need of proof and experience of cognitive obstacles which is very important for students to reflect their thinking and activities. Thus an didactical treatment must follows, which we also give an example.
