Engaging students as designers of digital curriculum resources: focus on their praxeologies and new awareness

In this paper we present the results of a pilot study focused on an educational programme aimed at involving upper secondary students in the design of digital curriculum resources (DCR) using the GeoGebra software. We analyse the reflections proposed by the students-designers during semi- structured interviews developed at the end of the educational programme. As a result of this analysis, we propose a characterization of students-designers’ praxeologies in relation to the task of DCR- design. This characterization highlights their awareness both on the characteristics of the DCR that supports students’ learning and on the role of the design process in fostering the designers’ learning.
