Algebraic discourse development in a spreadsheet environment and discursive-computer routines

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The current study aims at understanding the mechanism by which beginning algebra students learn in a spreadsheet environment. To this end we analysed the work of two seventh-grade students while working on purposefully designed activities in a spreadsheet environment. Adopting the commognitive theory, we identified the routines that the students enacted, and defined a new type of routine, relevant while working in a technological environment: A computer-discursive routine. Findings suggest that the bondedness between this routine and a discursive routine that is enacted at the same time is getting stronger, which is evidence of a de-ritualization process that characterizes learning.
