Student Strategies in Enacting Affordances
Brown, Jill P.
North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Paper presented at the Joint Meeting of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME) (38th) and the North American Chapter of the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME-NA) (36th, Vancouver, Canada, Jul 15-20, 2014)
This paper reports an instrumental case study of the strategies employed by Year 11 students engaged in solving a functions population task. The task was implemented as part of a study of students studying functions in a Technology-Rich Teaching and Learning Environment (TRTLE). Student strategies related to the perception and enactment of affordances of the TRTLE that would be useful during task solution. The number and nature of strategies used and the combinations of affordances perceived and enacted were diverse. This was true even when students had the same function related intention, for example, find a model to represent data. [For the complete proceedings, see ED597799.]
