This study investigates pre-service teachers’ attitudes toward mathematics and math teaching using GeoGebra. The research employs attitudes questio nnaires to assess beliefs and explores the impact of high-tech software on educational p atterns. The study involves 80 pre-service teachers attending GeoGebr a courses at Sakhnin Academic College in Northern Israel. Findings reveal enhanced emotional and behavioral aspects for the majority, though cognitive i mprovement is not observed uniformly. Two distinct groups emerge: on e showing no significant change (10%) and another with significant improvem ent (90%). The study suggests a shift toward investigating practices for bridging theory and practice, emphasizing the importance of collaborative work in enhancing attitudes and critical thinking skills.
