Abstract

We present a new tool for mapping students' arithmetic discourse, named the aRithmetic Discourse Profile (RDP). The tool was developed based on the commognitive theory (Sfard, 2008). Its main goal is mapping students' mastery of arithmetic routines on a continuum between ritual (procedure based) and explorative (goal-based) participation. In addition, the tool maps the subjectifying statements of students (statements constructing their identity in action) to assess the affective aspects of the student's performance. We exemplify the tool on 3 tasks performed by 12 7th grade students. The findings show various possible relations between subjectifying and ritual/explorative performance.
