Our findings highlighted the need to develop activitiesthat cultivate students‟ judgement, facilitate peer feedback, promote learner independence,and reinforce development of their professional engineering identity.Our aim is to promote a learning focus as opposed to a task-focused disposition in students.A student‟s core identity may be such that they resist this change in focus limiting theirengagement with these activities. We found scaffolding to be valuable to motivate desiredapproaches, behavior and attitudes to learning.For example, we constantly remind studentsthat “mistakes compress

modelis a model-of a situation that is familiar to the students. By a process of generalizing andformalizing, the model eventually becomes an entity on its own. It becomes possible to use it asa model-for mathematical reasoning.Finally, the RME guided reinvention principle is adopted and used as a part of methodology.According to RME instructional design theory, the teacher provides guidance, playing a‘proactive role’ within the classroom setting. This study allows every student to decide whetherand to what extent s/he needs guidance which in turn is provided in the specially designedguiding-reflecting journal.Participants and MethodsTen students from Vancouver Templeton Secondary School ranging in age from 17 to 18 years,5 males and 5 females
