Abstract: While planning has been at the center of influential debates on the nature of cognition and action, little research on planning has been done from a learning sciences perspective. We thus take up the empirical study of planning the canoeing of rapids and the reasoning processes that underlie that practice, as we seek to contribute to theorizing planning as a form of human activity. In an ethnographic approach, we followed the routines of a team of canoers and collected video records (with helmet cameras) of the full arc of the activity, from the collective, discursive construction of the plan through the entire rapids run. We find that any given plan provided resources for canoeing action, without exhaustively describing it. Knowledgeable performance in the rapids thus emerged from the planning process and, crucially, the historically constituted practices of the team and individuals’ embodied knowledge and skills of canoeing.
