Résumé
This paper draws from year one of a 5-year research study that seeks to examine how post- secondary mathematics students learn to use programming as a computational thinking instrument for mathematics. It focuses on how post-secondary mathematics students’ identities as mathematics learners are enacted as they engage in a programming-based mathematical investigations and applications learning environment. Specifically, the paper offers a discussion of a case of one student’s enactment of his identity while simultaneously learning to program and to use it for this kind of mathematical work. This paper highlights the importance of identity in learning mathematics and its role in the development of productive dispositions in learning to program for mathematics investigation and modeling.
