This study investigates the effect of GeoGebra-assisted instruction and students’ learning activity on mathematics learning outcomes in circle topics. A quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group was employed. The participants were eighth-grade students of SMP Nurul Ikhlas, divided into an experimental group taught using GeoGebra and a control group taught through conventional instruction. Data were collected using achievement tests and learning activity observation sheets, with all instruments confirmed to be valid and reliable. The results show that students in the experimental group achieved significantly higher post-test scores than those in the control group. Paired sample t-test analysis indicated a substantial improvement in learning outcomes in the experimental group, while the control group showed only a slight increase. Independent sample t-test results confirmed a significant difference between the two groups. Furthermore, regression analysis revealed that learning activity had a positive and significant effect on learning outcomes, contributing 21.3% to the variance. These findings indicate that GeoGebra-assisted learning effectively enhances students’ understanding of geometry when integrated with activity-oriented instruction. This study emphasizes the importance of combining digital tools with active learning strategies to improve mathematics learning in contemporary educational settings.
