The authors looked for the pedagogical procedure for the course "Constructions in Geometry" based on dynamic geometry software (DGS), where the computer became an integral part of the educational process. It was examined the influence of integrating DGS into the course on students' achievement and efficiency of computer usage.

The research population consisted of second-year students in an undergraduate education program for junior high school math teachers, and is characterized by almost no experience with construction problems. The obtained results showed that the implementation of the newly developed teaching procedure improved the students’ usage of the computerized environment as well as their achievement for both simple and difficult types of problems.
