Students’ routines that emerged using a smart phone application: the problem of transfer
Summary:
In this research, we studied the transfer of knowledge of two 17-year-old students, while trying to understand how a smart phone application works. Adopting commognitive framework (Sfard, 2008) and theorizing learning as the routinization of students’ actions (Lavie et al., 2018), we developed a methodological tool that helped us (a) identify the routines that emerged and (b) analyze the transfer. We theorized transfer as the extension of the precedent search space that occurred with the help of precedents identifiers (Lavie et al., 2018) –a dynamic view that helped us alternate between insiders’ and outsiders’ perspective (Sfard, 2008). The results show that the routines of the students were, in the majority, rituals –those that are process-oriented (Lavie et al., 2018). We found three types of transfer: from the classroom mathematics to (a) everyday discourse and to (b) mathematical discourse that led to the modelization of the problem, and (c) from everyday or colloquial mathematical discourse to literate mathematical discourse. We found three types of precedent identifiers too: (a) the smart phone, (b) visual mediators and (c) teachers’ questions.
