When They Tell You That i(56) = 1: Affordances of Memes and GeoGebra in Mathematics / G.G. Bini, O. Robutti, M. Montagnani. - In: THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR TECHNOLOGY IN MATHEMATICS EDUCATION. - ISSN 1744-2710. - 28:3(2021 Sep), pp. 143-151.
Abstract:
This work aims at investigating the educational
potentialities of mathematical memes, digital objects
belonging to students’ out-of-school culture, in combination
with classic educational objects as GeoGebra applets. To
pursue our goal, we observed a group of 29 12th-grade
students who design, create and interact with mathematical
memes and GeoGebra applets on complex numbers, during an
experiment carried out in Turin in March 2019. Our analysis
follows three students, from the design and production phases
to the group discussion and the interviews conducted the
following year. Specifically, we looked for changes in
students’ praxeologies (following Chevallard’s ATD theory,
1992, 1999) and we traced them back to ZPD mentors
(Vygotsky, 1978; Wood et al., 1976) and micro-level agents
(Prodromou et al., 2018). Results show that the social value
of mathematical memes promotes the appearance of new
micro-level facilitators that enhance the educational
potentialities of GeoGebra and contribute to foster changes in
students’ praxeologies.
