Availability of materials and data
An inherent principle of publication is that others should be able to replicate and build upon the authors' published claims. Therefore, a condition of publication in AJESMS is that authors are required to make materials, data and associated protocols promptly available to readers without undue qualifications in material transfer agreements. Any restrictions on the availability of materials or information must be disclosed to the publishing team at the time of submission. Supporting data must be made available to Editorial Board Members and reviewers at the time of submission for the purposes of evaluating the manuscript. Reviewers may be asked to comment on the terms of access to materials, methods and/or data sets; AJESMS reserves the right to refuse publication in cases where authors do not provide adequate assurances that they can comply with the publication's requirements for sharing materials.
After publication, readers who encounter refusal by the authors to comply with these policies should contact the AJESMS publishing team. In cases where we are unable to resolve a complaint, the matter may be referred to the authors' funding institution and/or a formal statement of correction may be published, attached online to the publication, stating that readers have been unable to obtain necessary materials to replicate the findings.

Use of GeoGebra to Improve Performance in Geometry
Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to use GeoGebra in the teaching and learning of Geometry among mathematics education students as well as in-service teachers, using an action research approach. The purposive sampling technique was used to select two public tertiary institutions for the study. The sample size consisted of 150 students comprising 51 from the University of Ghana and 99 from the University of Education, Winneba. Pre- and post- test design, involving teacher-made tests, were used during the experiment to collect data on the samples used. The paired samples t-test and analysis of covariance were used to analyse the scores of tests. The finding showed that there is a statistically significant improvement in the students’ scores and interest in the learning, as well as the teaching of Geometry. Also, the GeoGebra method made the lessons more practical and easier to understand. It is therefore recommended that mathematics teachers should incorporate GeoGebra in the teaching and learning of Geometry.
