Résumé
Through the embodied lens of enactivism, this paper examines the dynamics of the ongoing interaction between learners and their programming environment as they use objects-to-think-with in a Mathematics Integrated with Computer Application (MICA) course at a university in Southern Ontario. Specifically, the paper explores the emergence of Papert’s objects-to-think-with through a case study of an undergraduate student in a Mathematics Integrated with Computer Application (MICA) course. Papert’s constructionist approach to learning mathematics with the computer as a mathematical speaking entity is well-established in research and acknowledges the close interaction between learners and their programming environment. The paper contributes to an emerging body of research in mathematics education addressing new technologies in classrooms from an embodied approach. The results show recurrent patterns of how the learner developed various objects-to-thinkwith as they enact a world of significance through mutual codetermination with their environment.
