And, What challenges and insights emerge through recent efforts to engage these models in cross-cultural (and linguistic) research? The fields of resources, language and culture in mathematics education are each extensive, and we do not attempt to survey comprehensively across them. We have chosen instead to propose three approaches on resources in mathematics teachers' work that developed somewhat contemporaneously from three different countries with differing linguistic, curricular, and social contexts, corresponding to the work of the three guest editors. The models developed through these approaches are driven by the educational, and so cultural and material conditions of the time and the location of each author, and allow us to propose preliminary answers to our two guiding questions. We then move to pull the threads from these models together, and discuss the contributions to this Special Issue. This results in more robust and nuanced responses to our questions, and in identifying two themes that emerge from research that sit at the convergence of studies of teachers' interactions with resources, languages, and cultures: an invisibility-visibility dialectic and a local-global tension. Finally, this study leads us to consider a new region of mathematics education research.

How can a theoretical approach be translated and subsequently used in different languages, and to what extent could the translation processes deepen the approach itself? This paper addresses such issues in the case of the Documentational Approach to Didactics (DAD). We explore possibilities of translating selected critical notions expressed in English terms into French, Arabic, and Chinese, and of developing insights from these. We further deal with the translation issues 'in situ', i.e., in an English mathematics teacher's lesson where we can identify the embodiments of the DAD concepts. The most challenging part in the translation is the embedding of the English terms in the English cultural sphere, and 're-bedding' them into another cultural sphere. It is claimed that examining the nuances between the different possibilities of translation for the same concept in connection with their use 'in situ', and drawing inspiration from the educational, cultural, and theoretical traditions in other cultural spheres, can help to deepen the theoretical constructs.

To support this transition, the Shanghai Education Commission led expert teachers and specialists to develop a series of online video lessons based on the Shanghai unified curriculum, and suggested students watch the online video lessons individually from home, followed by an online synchronous lesson supported by class teachers. This study investigated what primary mathematics teachers learned from addressing these challenges through a case study. By following two purposefully selected teachers over two weeks during the transition, multiple data sets including online video lessons, online synchronous lessons, daily reflections, and post-online teacher interviews were collected. A fine-grained analysis of the data from the lens of the Documentational Approach to Didactics found that teachers adaptively used online video lessons as important resources for their online synchronous lessons and virtual Teaching Research Groups as a teachers' collaboration mechanism supported them to develop online video lessons and address various technological constraints. Finally, implications of this case study for mathematics education globally are discussed.

A situação real a que nos referimos compôs um dos estudos analisados durante o estágio pós-doutoral da primeira autora na UFPE e na ENS/Ifé de Lyon, entre os anos de 2016 e 2018. Para a releitura dos dados, elencamos três questões norteadoras: no que a estudante se apoia em termos de recursos? Quais as razões das suas escolhas? Quais são as aprendizagens no processo formativo? Como referencial teórico e metodológico, nós apoiamos na Abordagem Documental do Didático. Na análise da dialética instrumentação e instrumentalização, tivemos respostas para as perguntas: no que a estudante se apoia em termos de recursos? Quais são as adaptações? e observamos os recursos utilizados a partir do documento tarefa. Também neste estudo identificamos os recursos “mãe” e "filho”. No estudo dessas duas dialéticas inferimos o nascimento de um sistema de recursos da estudante construído para ensinar classificação de triângulos com o Geogebra. Na dialética atividade produtiva/atividade construtiva, tivemos respostas para as perguntas: quais as razões das suas escolhas? e quais foram as aprendizagens no processo formativo? quando analisamos os invariantes operatórios do esquema de criação de uma tarefa. O estudo das versões da tarefa foi essencial para identificarmos conhecimentos, crenças e aprendizagens da futura professora.

In this study, it is aimed to examine this work through the processes of using and transforming the resources into documents. In this context, the "Documentational Approach to Didactics" is adopted as a theoretical framework. Reflective investigation method is used to analyse teacher's documentational genesis. The study is designed as a case study, with a primary mathematics teacher whom we named Olcay, who is very open to share her experiences that is important for the research. Various interviews with and observations of the teacher are made according to the requirements of the reflective investigation method. As a result, some of the schemes of the teacher to transform her resources into documents are revealed. It is seen that some of these schemes are similar to the ones discovered before and some of them are changeable according to the area where the teaching happened. * This study is based on Burcu Nur Baştürk Şahin's master's thesis data.

This IMO model is defined as a systematic and intentional monitoring, by a teacher educator, of artefacts and teachers (or pre-service teachers) for facing a Metasituation, defined as a composition of situations of different natures and difficulty levels. An IMO, in itself, is a composition of instrumental orchestrations (sequenced or interwoven). This paper presents and discusses an instrumental meta-orchestration experienced in a class of undergraduate mathematics teachers. The development of the initial model results in: new concepts, such as ad hoc reaction, didactic meta-configuration, exploitation modes and didactic meta-performance; new features, such as flexibility and interactivity; and new phenomena, such as cascade effects. It also reveals the importance of unexpected events that occur between orchestrations. Moreover, it expanded the forms of destination for evaluating specific online documents, which are named webdocs. Finally, the paper discusses the contribution to mathematics teacher education of such an extended model.

Est-elle à considérer comme une parenthèse de l’Histoire, ou comme quelque chose qui constitue une rupture profonde de l’enseignement, avec des défis à relever pour les professeurs de mathématiques ?
Je voudrais proposer ici une analyse de ce que la pandémie a révélé des conditions et des besoins de l’enseignement des mathématiques dans plusieurs pays, en particulier en Chine, et des éclairages que cela permet de porter sur la situation française. Je le ferai sous l’angle de la collaboration des professeurs et des ressources qu’ils mobilisent pour leur enseignement.

In this paper, we revisit this tradition using, as a specific lens, the research carried out on the educational use of digital tools and resources for teaching and learning mathematics. We first briefly introduce this tradition and the three main theories at the base of it: the theory of didactical situations, the theory of conceptual fields, and the anthropological theory of the didactic. Then, considering three different technological lenses, i.e., dynamic geometry environments, computer algebra systems, and digital resources, we show how these theories and the long-term connection established in this tradition with the fields of cognitive ergonomics and computer sciences have influenced technological research and its outcomes. We also show that, conversely, didactic technological research has led to original and influential theoretical constructions, such as the instrumental approach and the documentational approach to didactics, and that it has contributed in a substantial way to the opening of this didactic tradition to other didactic cultures and other communities, beyond the didactic one. Keywords: anthropological theory of the didactic; computer algebra system; didactical engineering; didactic technological research; digital resources; documentational approach to didactics; dynamic geometry environment; instrumental approach to didactics; theory of conceptual fields; theory of didactical situations

Also, new bibliometric techniques have been developed and applied to the results of such literature search queries. The application of these bibliometric tools to mathematics education research, however, is rare. In this paper, we explore the value of these techniques for mathematics education research through triangulating bibliometrics and expert findings. To do so, we address the case of instrumental orchestration, and want to know how this notion developed over time and was used in research practices. The results show that bibliometric clustering techniques provided a sense-making sketch of the 'landscape' of instrumental orchestration research. Triangulating the bibliometric findings with expert interpretations seemed an appropriate method to set up compact 'identity cards'. In the case of instrumental orchestration, we identified five main clusters in research literature, characterized by the following labels: Managing teaching complexity, Designing living resources, Teaching with technology, Adult learners, and Interacting with computers. The paper ends with some reflections on the potential of bibliometrics in our field and on future research on instrumental orchestration.

For this purpose we focus on the emblematic case of an experienced mathematics teacher at secondary level, Anna, who has also worked as a teacher educator in a university department. Using the lens of the Documentational Approach to Didactics (DAD), we investigate her case, with a particular interest in digital resources, including both digital curriculum resources (e.g., e-textbooks, online resources) and digital technologies (e.g., for communicating, sharing). Two notions appear essential for supporting this investigation: the notion of resource system for studying the teacher's activity as a whole, and the notion of documentational trajectory for studying the teacher's activity over the time. Methodologically, specific tools were developed for gaining deeper insights into the teacher's resource system, or her documentational trajectory. This study provides a window into mathematics teacher use and design of digital/non-digital resources in/ for their teaching. Moreover, it helps us to develop better understandings of teacher professional learning over time, and of the ways the context of collaboration shapes their professional work and learning. More and also contrasting cases (e.g., of newly qualified teachers) would need to be studied to fully understand this field.

How can a theoretical approach be translated and subsequently used in different languages, and to what extent could the translation processes deepen the approach itself? This paper addresses such issues in the case of the Documentational Approach to Didactics (DAD). We explore possibilities of translating selected critical notions expressed in English terms into French, Arabic, and Chinese, and of developing insights from these. We further deal with the translation issues 'in situ', i.e., in an English mathematics teacher's lesson where we can identify the embodiments of the DAD concepts. The most challenging part in the translation is the embedding of the English terms in the English cultural sphere, and 're-bedding' them into another cultural sphere. It is claimed that examining the nuances between the different possibilities of translation for the same concept in connection with their use 'in situ', and drawing inspiration from the educational, cultural, and theoretical traditions in other cultural spheres, can help to deepen the theoretical constructs.

Para a releitura dos dados, elencamos três questões norteadoras: no que a estudante se apoia em termos de recursos? Quais as razões das suas escolhas? Quais são as aprendizagens no processo formativo? Como referencial teórico e metodológico, nós apoiamos na Abordagem Documental do Didático. Na análise da dialética instrumentação e instrumentalização, tivemos respostas para as perguntas: no que a estudante se apoia em termos de recursos? Quais são as adaptações? e observamos os recursos utilizados a partir do documento tarefa. Também neste estudo identificamos os recursos “mãe” e "filho”. No estudo dessas duas dialéticas inferimos o nascimento de um sistema de recursos da estudante construído para ensinar classificação de triângulos com o Geogebra. Na dialética atividade produtiva/atividade construtiva, tivemos respostas para as perguntas: quais as razões das suas escolhas? e quais foram as aprendizagens no processo formativo? quando analisamos os invariantes operatórios do esquema de criação de uma tarefa. O estudo das versões da tarefa foi essencial para identificarmos conhecimentos, crenças e aprendizagens da futura professora.

In this study, it is aimed to examine this work through the processes of using and transforming the resources into documents. In this context, the "Documentational Approach to Didactics" is adopted as a theoretical framework. Reflective investigation method is used to analyse teacher's documentational genesis. The study is designed as a case study, with a primary mathematics teacher whom we named Olcay, who is very open to share her experiences that is important for the research. Various interviews with and observations of the teacher are made according to the requirements of the reflective investigation method. As a result, some of the schemes of the teacher to transform her resources into documents are revealed. It is seen that some of these schemes are similar to the ones discovered before and some of them are changeable according to the area where the teaching happened. * This study is based on Burcu Nur Baştürk Şahin's master's thesis data.

This IMO model is defined as a systematic and intentional monitoring, by a teacher educator, of artefacts and teachers (or pre-service teachers) for facing a Metasituation, defined as a composition of situations of different natures and difficulty levels. An IMO, in itself, is a composition of instrumental orchestrations (sequenced or interwoven). This paper presents and discusses an instrumental meta-orchestration experienced in a class of undergraduate mathematics teachers. The development of the initial model results in: new concepts, such as ad hoc reaction, didactic meta-configuration, exploitation modes and didactic meta-performance; new features, such as flexibility and interactivity; and new phenomena, such as cascade effects. It also reveals the importance of unexpected events that occur between orchestrations. Moreover, it expanded the forms of destination for evaluating specific online documents, which are named webdocs. Finally, the paper discusses the contribution to mathematics teacher education of such an extended model.

Nous considérons que cet intérêt pour le travail des enseignants avec les ressources amène des spécificités dans le recueil et l'exploitation des données. Nous présentons ces méthodes et mettons en évidence leurs spécificités, concernant notamment l'investissement réflexif des professeurs, la prise en compte de diverses temporalités, et les particularités du travail documentaire collectif.

Est-elle à considérer comme une parenthèse de l’Histoire, ou comme quelque chose qui constitue une rupture profonde de l’enseignement, avec des défis à relever pour les professeurs de mathématiques ?
Je voudrais proposer ici une analyse de ce que la pandémie a révélé des conditions et des besoins de l’enseignement des mathématiques dans plusieurs pays, en particulier en Chine, et des éclairages que cela permet de porter sur la situation française. Je le ferai sous l’angle de la collaboration des professeurs et des ressources qu’ils mobilisent pour leur enseignement.

In this paper, we revisit this tradition using, as a specific lens, the research carried out on the educational use of digital tools and resources for teaching and learning mathematics. We first briefly introduce this tradition and the three main theories at the base of it: the theory of didactical situations, the theory of conceptual fields, and the anthropological theory of the didactic. Then, considering three different technological lenses, i.e., dynamic geometry environments, computer algebra systems, and digital resources, we show how these theories and the long-term connection established in this tradition with the fields of cognitive ergonomics and computer sciences have influenced technological research and its outcomes. We also show that, conversely, didactic technological research has led to original and influential theoretical constructions, such as the instrumental approach and the documentational approach to didactics, and that it has contributed in a substantial way to the opening of this didactic tradition to other didactic cultures and other communities, beyond the didactic one. Keywords: anthropological theory of the didactic; computer algebra system; didactical engineering; didactic technological research; digital resources; documentational approach to didactics; dynamic geometry environment; instrumental approach to didactics; theory of conceptual fields; theory of didactical situations

Also, new bibliometric techniques have been developed and applied to the results of such literature search queries. The application of these bibliometric tools to mathematics education research, however, is rare. In this paper, we explore the value of these techniques for mathematics education research through triangulating bibliometrics and expert findings. To do so, we address the case of instrumental orchestration, and want to know how this notion developed over time and was used in research practices. The results show that bibliometric clustering techniques provided a sense-making sketch of the 'landscape' of instrumental orchestration research. Triangulating the bibliometric findings with expert interpretations seemed an appropriate method to set up compact 'identity cards'. In the case of instrumental orchestration, we identified five main clusters in research literature, characterized by the following labels: Managing teaching complexity, Designing living resources, Teaching with technology, Adult learners, and Interacting with computers. The paper ends with some reflections on the potential of bibliometrics in our field and on future research on instrumental orchestration.

For this purpose we focus on the emblematic case of an experienced mathematics teacher at secondary level, Anna, who has also worked as a teacher educator in a university department. Using the lens of the Documentational Approach to Didactics (DAD), we investigate her case, with a particular interest in digital resources, including both digital curriculum resources (e.g., e-textbooks, online resources) and digital technologies (e.g., for communicating, sharing). Two notions appear essential for supporting this investigation: the notion of resource system for studying the teacher's activity as a whole, and the notion of documentational trajectory for studying the teacher's activity over the time. Methodologically, specific tools were developed for gaining deeper insights into the teacher's resource system, or her documentational trajectory. This study provides a window into mathematics teacher use and design of digital/non-digital resources in/ for their teaching. Moreover, it helps us to develop better understandings of teacher professional learning over time, and of the ways the context of collaboration shapes their professional work and learning. More and also contrasting cases (e.g., of newly qualified teachers) would need to be studied to fully understand this field.

And, What challenges and insights emerge through recent efforts to engage these models in cross-cultural (and linguistic) research?

It features papers that explore the need to create a system in order to fully meet the uncertainties and developments of modern educational phenomena. These have emerged due to the abundance of digital resources and new forms of collective work.
The collected papers offer new perspectives to a rising field of research known as the Documentational Approach to Didactics. This framework was first created by the editors of this book. It seeks to develop a deeper understanding of mathematics teaching expertise. Readers will gain insight into how to meet the theoretical questions brought about by digitalization. These include: how to analyze teachers’ work when they prepare for their teaching, how to conceptualize the relationships between individual and collective work, and how to follow the related processes over the long term.
The contributors also provide a comparative view in terms of contrasting selected phenomena across different educational cultures and education systems. For instance, they consider how differences in curriculum resources are available to teachers and how teachers make use of them to shape instruction. Coverage also considers the extent to which teachers make use of additional material, particularly those available through the global marketplace on the Internet. This book builds on works from the Re(s)sources 2018 Conference, Understanding teachers’ work through their interactions with resources for teaching, held in Lyon, France.

This approach has developed in relation to other approaches in the field, in France and internationally. The initial field, mathematics at secondary school, has been expanded from Kindergarten to University, and to other fields of application: languages, biology, chemistry, physics. At the same time new questions have emerged, highlighting the need for new research programs. It is to take stock of these advances and questions that a three-day conference has been organized in Lyon (France) in May 2018, gathering 130 people from 30 countries. The Canal U website, developed by the French Ministry for Higher Education and Research gives access to the collection of videos of the main moments of this conference (opening lecture, plenary lectures, panel and closing comments).

The book highlights various theoretical and methodological approaches used to study teaching and learning resources, and addresses the areas of resources, teachers, and students at an international level.
As for the resources, the book examines the role textbooks and other curricular or learning resources play in mathematics teaching, learning, and assessment. It asks questions such as: Could we consider different types of textbooks and roles they play in teaching and learning? How does the digitalization of information and communication affect these roles? What are defining features of e-textbooks, and how could we characterize the differences between the traditional textbooks and e-textbooks?
As for the teachers, the book discusses the relationships between teachers’ individual and collective resources, and the way in which we could model such relationships. Specific questions addressed are: What is the role of teachers in developing textbooks and other teaching and learning materials? What are the relationships between resource designers and users? What are the consequences of these changing roles and relationships for the teaching of mathematics, and for teacher knowledge and professional development?
As for the students, the book explores how students, as well as their teachers, interact through resources. It raises and addresses questions such as: What are the effects of modern ICT (particularly internet) on students’ use and the design of resources? How do changing patterns of use and design affect student behaviour, learning, and relationships to the subject of mathematics?

This book originates in discussions at conferences between John and Luc.
We (meaning John and Luc at the moment) had similar backgrounds: a number of years in high school mathematics teaching and then university work in mathematics education. In both sites we’ d done a lot of experimenting (both practical and research) using digital technology. We shared prejudices for the types of tools/systems we liked to use with our students: graph plotters, Logo , computer algebra
systems and similar tools/systems which our students could use to express mathematical relationships rather than tools/systems that might go under the name of‘ computer-aided instruction’ . When we first met, in the later 1990s, we’ d read papers of the other where we’ d being trying to ‘ get a theoretical handle’ on what went on in high school mathematics classrooms when teachers and students used
these tools/systems. Our theoretical frameworks were not identical (John was influenced by activity theory and Luc by instrumentation theory), but there was plenty of room for productive dialogue; we were both also influenced by reading papers of and talking to Miche`le Artigue and Jean-baptiste Lagrange who were, in turn, influenced by Yves Chevallard’ s anthropological theory of the didactic and
Brousseau’ s theory of didactical situations.
In the early years of the new millennium, an interesting thing happened—we realised that much of our thought about digital technology and mathematics (education) was a special case of tool use and mathematics (education). This realisation probably came quite slowly, but once implanted the importance of tools (and later the distinction between artefacts, instruments and tools) in mathematical activity
produced a way of viewing mathematics that was both simple and profound (at least for us): of course mathematical activity is not possible without tools; why are people writing about issues in learning and teaching mathematics and not mentioning the tools used in this learning and teaching? There were, of course, papers on tool use in learning and teaching mathematics, but few of these were research papers which paid attention to the proble´matique of tool use and were targeted at an international audience; and there was no book on tools and mathematics.
The first idea of this book was suggested by John to Luc and cemented over several days in charming Montpellier about 4 years ago. During our discussions in that visit, we sketched the structure of the book (quite similar to the final structure) and decided we wanted to work with a research mathematician. John and Luc had both read ‘ popular’ papers by Jon and were intrigued by the ‘ experimental mathematics’ he was putting forward. Working with a research mathematician would, we thought, temper naı¨ve statements we might make about tools in the practice of professional mathematicians, and Jon clearly had a lot of interesting things to say about tools and mathematics. John approached Jon to write a chapter in the book,
Jon agreed to be involved, and ‘ we’ now becomes ‘ John, Luc and Jon’ . The first three chapters of this book to be completed were Chaps. 1 –3 (more or- less in the form they appear in the final version). This was to establish a base for the rest of the book. Jon’ s chapter on experimental mathematics and his own research was deemed especially important as something that could be referred to in the chapters to be written. The chapters which follow were written over several years with many drafts and many reviews and exchanges of ideas between the three of us. We three have quite a lot in common, but there are significant differences too.
One set of exchanges concerned ‘ a common voice’ in the chapters of this book, and it resulted in ‘ no, we should not attempt a common voice’ in the chapters. Each ‘ solo’ chapter thus represents the views of the author alone. This, we think, respects emerging theorising of scholarship on tools and mathematics.
Another set of exchanges concerned the ‘ encyclopaedic’ scope of the book (which has actually been toned down a little since the proposal was sent to the publishers). We see the encyclopaedic nature of the book as both a strength and weakness. We have, however, tried to vary the ‘ scope’ of that which we explore through the structure of the book. For example, with regard to the history of mathematics, Chap. 4 has a ‘ large scope’ , but Chap. 5 focuses down on a specific time and place in the history of mathematics. We acknowledge that we have tried to cover too much (though, as the Interlude between Parts C and D mentions, we have missed out some important issues). But this is the first book on the subject of tools and mathematics, and we are content to err on the side of ‘ surveying the scene’ and
leave it to others to fill in details we have missed.
We have written the book as a linear object to be read from cover to cover, but, of course, readers may not read it this way. We think that most chapters, however, work pretty well as ‘ stand-alone’ chapters. Many chapters also have multiple references to other chapters.
There are people we’ d like to thank for input on this book (reviewing chapters and technical help), and these include Naomi Borwein, Hazel Cathan, Nikolaos Fotou, Ghislaine Gueudet, Celia Hoyles, Stefan Lesnianski, Richard Noss, Christine Proust, Janine Rogalski, Kenneth Ruthven and R Rudolf Straesser

Guided by the introductory paper by Pepin, Gueudet and Trouche (2013), the reader is invited to consider an expanded theoretical framework underlying research on teachers' interactions with resources. This expanded framework is accomplished through an empirically driven, theoretical integration of sorts, in which different theoretical perspectives are brought togethr to explain and interrogate a complex phenomenon...

"Curriculum materials and the interaction with these materials and resources is central in teache... more "Curriculum materials and the interaction with these materials and resources is central in teacher education and professional development. How teachers use and learn from materials fundamentally depends on the interactions between three components: the reader, the material and the context. Teachers’ use and learning from text-based materials depends to a large extent on the characteristics of the materials, on the teaching activity in which the teacher is engaged, teachers’ beliefs and knowledge, and how these are aligned with the curriculum. What kinds of curriculum materials do teachers select and use, and how? How do teachers learn from these materials, and in which ways do they ‘tailor’ them for their use and pupil learning? These factors interact in complex ways, as teachers select, interpret and shape the materials, individually and collaboratively with groups of colleagues. The characteristics of the resources shape the teacher’s activity; analysing these characteristics enlightens the mathematics presented to the students, and more generally the classroom practice and the development of teacher professional knowledge.
The purpose of this book is to provide a wider perspective on this issue in the field of mathematics education. It studies curriculum materials and their uses, in addition to investigations of teacher adaptation and use of those materials, and pays particular attention to digital resources. Teacher’s professional activity is studied as a whole, at different moments and in different contexts, in-class and out-of-class, with a variety of agents. The collective dimensions of this activity, the role of a variety of collectives for teachers professional development, constitute a major focus of the work presented here."

Les termes « ressources », « qualité », « ensemble » évoquent les éditions successives des journées mathématiques de l'INRP ; il ne
faut toutefois pas s'y tromper, car même si la continuité était ici assumée, il s'agissait bien des premières journées mathématiques de l'IFÉ. Ces actes, qui constituent la mémoire de ces journées, donnent à voir une forme de stabilité mais également des
évolutions majeures. Le lecteur découvrira dans les pages qui suivent le détail des contenus.

Les premières
journées scientifiques Pédagogie universitaire numérique1 , qui se sont tenues à Lyon (France) les 6 et 7 janvier 2011 sous l’égide de l’Institut français de l’Éducation2 et de la Mission numérique
pour l’enseignement supérieur3, avaient pour objectif de faire le point sur ces questions, dans le contexte de l’enseignement supérieur en France.
Ce numéro thématique présente des textes issus de ces journées.

En considérant le développement professionnel à partir du travail documentaire, les auteurs invitent à un changement de point de vue : au lieu de se centrer sur le professeur en classe, il s.’agit de regarder l.’activité des professeurs dans son unité et sa dynamique, activité dont la classe n.’est qu.’un moment. Qu.’en est-il de la documentation
aujourd.’hui, à un moment où Internet donne accès à tout professeur, dans son établissement, mais aussi à son domicile, à des ressources « vives », sans cesse renouvelées et réorganisées ? Le point de départ de cet ouvrage est que les espaces dédiés à l.’apprentissage .— les écoles .— sont, avec le développement du numérique, engagés dans des métamorphoses, aussi profondes qu.’aux moments de l.’invention de l.’écriture ou de l.’imprimerie. Pour éclairer ces métamorphoses, le choix a été fait de localiser le regard sur une seule discipline, les mathématiques, et sur les professeurs qui les enseignent, au premier comme au second
degré. Ce choix n.’est pas contradictoire avec une variété de points de vue : variété d.’origine géographique des auteurs, variété des communautés de recherche sollicitées et variété des cadres théoriques mobilisés. Cet ouvrage devrait constituer pour ses lecteurs (chercheurs, professeurs, formateurs, étudiants, concepteurs de ressources pour l.’enseignement) une nouvelle ressource vive ouvrant des pistes et posant des jalons pour les explorer."

C'est une oeuvre collective, fruit du travail de conception, d'expérimentation, de théorisation et d'écriture d'un ensemble d'auteurs. Ces auteurs sont enseignants du second degré, enseignants chercheurs mathématiciens, didacticiens ou informaticiens ou concepteurs multimedia. Ils avaient différentes fonctions dans le dispositif : médiatiseurs, formateurs ou pilotes. Ils y ont joué plusieurs rôles : concepteurs, auteurs ou utilisateurs de ressources.
Cette oeuvre s'est construite sur des ressources initiales, ressources humaines et ressources pédagogiques, de l'IREM de Montpellier, mais elle n'a pu se développer que dans le cadre d'un partenariat très large .
Ce cédérom propose des ressources et des outils, à travers deux entrées :
- une entrée sous forme d'un libre parcours, où l'histoire est restituée dans sa genèse et dans son mouvement ;
- une entrée sous forme d'une médiathèque, où les fruits de cette histoire (ressources pédagogiques, documents de référence, témoignages... ) sont présentés.
Il constitue une invite à construire son propre parcours et à concevoir ses propres ressources en s'appropriant celles qui sont présentées ici.

Dans une perspective d’efficacité et de (ré)utilisation, quels problèmes spécifiques posent leur conception et leur mise en oeuvre ?
Environnements informatisés et ressources numériques pour l’apprentissage, issu d’un symposium du colloque international REF (Réseau international de recherche en éducation et formation), présente les travaux de chercheurs de différents champs (didactiques, informatique, sciences de l’éducation) ayant collaboré pour articuler leurs points de vue sur ces questions. Leurs contributions montrent notamment la nécessité d’interactions fréquentes entre concepteurs et utilisateurs au sein de réseaux ou de communautés de pratique, dans la perspective de l’approche instrumentale d’une co-évolutiondes pratiques instrumentées et des dispositifs informatisés. Dans ce contexte,l’analyse de l’activité instrumentée s’avère cruciale pour un renouvellement de l’ingénierie pédagogique. Cet ouvrage s’adresse à un large public de chercheurs, d’étudiants et de praticiens concernés par l’apprentissage et la formation."

Ces journées ont réuni en juin 2006 les équipes associées à cet Institut, regroupant des chercheurs et des professeurs "de terrain".
Elles inaugurent un cycle de "journées mathématiques", qui se sont déroulées depuis chaque année, en concentrant leur réflexion sur les ressources pour l'enseignement des mathématiques, celles que le professeur rassemble, conçoit, partage, met en oeuvre dans ses classes.
Cette réflexion combine des aspects didactiques, mathématiques et technologiques."

This pioneering text develops a theorized analysis of why this is and what can be done to address it. It examines the particular case of symbolic calculators (equipped with computer algebra systems) in secondary education. Drawing on a substantial program of French innovation and research, as well as closely related studies from Australia and the Netherlands, it provides rich illustrations of the many aspects of technology integration, and of the ways in which these are shaped at different levels of the educational institution.

Une chose étonnante. Un artefact (à l'origine en vannerie) qui sert: 1/à concentrer l'éparpillé, en faisant de l'un avec du multiple, 2/à véhiculer le tout d'un point à un autre (Debray 2001).

Il est raisonnable de penser que les calculatrices symboliques, pourvues de plusieurs logiciels (module de programmation, traitement de texte, calcul formel et calcul approché, tableur) préfigurent les outils scolaires de demain. En cela le travail réalisé dans cet ouvrage est prospectif!: il fournit des éléments théoriques, d’une part pour construire des ingénieries visant à développer une intelligence du calcul face à des outils de plus en plus complexes et, d’autre part pour analyser les comportements des élèves. Enfin, certains résultats de l’analyse des usages didactiques décrits dans ce livre pourraient sans doute éclairer la conception de nouveaux environnements d’apprentissage mieux adaptés à l’enseignement des mathématiques.
Ce livre s'adresse à toutes les personnes concernées par l'enseignement des mathématiques au niveau du second degré et de l’université, à tous ceux qui s'intéressent à la didactique des mathématiques, qu'ils soient chercheurs, formateurs ou enseignants, et aux responsables de l'institution. Les auteurs espèrent leur apporter des éléments susceptibles de les aider à concevoir des ressources pédagogiques prenant en compte simultanément les contraintes et les potentialités d’outils technologiques futurs.
C'est une condition nécessaire si l'on vise, dans l'enseignement, une intégration de ces outils tout à la fois plus large et plus efficace du point de vue de l'apprentissage"

symbolique et de logiciel de géométrie. Cette intrusion peut être considérée comme une concurrence déloyale qui fausserait les rapports entre le professeur de mathématiques et les élèves, ou au contraire comme une occasion de renouveler l'enseignement et l'apprentissage des mathématiques. C'est le deuxième point de vu qui a été choisi ici.
The 'Resource' Approach to Mathematics Education, 2019

In this introduction, we first present how and why this book is inserted within the “Advances in Mathematics Education” book series. Second, we attempt to characterize the RAME research field and to situate it in the landscape of mathematics education research. The Documentational Approach to Didactics (DAD) plays a particular role in this field; we discuss its links with other theoretical approaches in the third section. Fourth, we evoke the “Re(s)sources 2018 conference”, which took place in Lyon in May 2018 and has been a central source for this book. Fifth, we present the content of the book, and finally some perspectives for further research.

It could be considered as a follow-up of Chapter 1, where Ghislaine Gueudet situates the current state of DAD in looking back to its origin: chapter 12 proposes a possible future of this approach in analyzing its current state. It determines the missing resources of DAD in questioning current and past PhD students who have anchored their research in DAD. What did/do they learn in using DAD as a main theoretical resource; to which extent did/do they estimate that they have enriched DAD by their own work? Which are, according to them, the still missing resources of DAD? Which of these resources should be developed by DAD from itself, and/or in co-working with other theoretical framework? From this inquiry, this chapter proposes ten perspectives of research, aiming to develop some theoretical blind points of DAD, or to develop some methodological tools, or to deepen the cultural/social aspects of DAD in questioning the naming systems used by teachers when interacting with resources. This chapter echoes actually different perspectives of research already present, as promising germs, in previous chapters of the book.

The chapters are extended versions of a selection of papers from the Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Technology in Mathematics Teaching (ICTMT-13), which was held in Lyon, France, from July 3rd to 6th. ICTMT-13 gathered together over one hundred participants from twenty countries sharing research and empirical results on the topical issues of technology and its potential to improve mathematics teaching and learning.
This introductory chapter situates the book, from the point of view of two researchers involved in the field of "research on teaching mathematics with tools" since 20 years.

It first describes the emergence and development of this tradition according to four key features (role of mathematics and mathematicians, role of theories, role of design of teaching and learning environments, and role of empirical research), and illustrates it through two case studies respectively devoted to research carried out within this tradition on algebra and on line symmetry-reflection. It then questions the influence of this tradition through the contributions of four researchers from Germany, Italy, Mexico and Tunisia, before ending with a short epilogue.
Encyclopedia of Mathematics Education, 2018
“To instrumentalize” is generally defined as “to perform (a piece of music) using a musical inst... more “To instrumentalize” is generally defined as “to perform (a piece of music) using a musical instrument or instruments” or “To arrange or score (a piece of music) for instruments, especially for an orchestra”, or “To make or render (something) instrumental to accomplishing a purpose or result; to use as a means to an end”. In mathematics education, the noun “instrumentalization” has been more frequently used than the verb “to instrumentalize”. This type of use has evolved over the time, keeping a strong link with general definitions above, pointing out the creative potential of an agent (performing, arranging, scoring, making something instrumental….), in the frame of an orchestra.
In this article, we will first address our general view on mediated action, before introducing the notion of instrumentalization, as adapting a tool for adopting it as a support of one’s mathematical activity. We situate this notion as an element of the dialectics instrumentalization-instrumentation grounding the instrumental approach. Next, we evidence the evolution of this notion, giving more importance to its role in learning processes. In the fourth section, we underline the influence of this evolution for rethinking the role of the teacher. In the fifth section, we analyze the influence of this evolution for rethinking the instrumental approach itself. From these dynamics, finally, we will sketch some perspectives for further research

Instrumentation is the action to give someone an instrument, or the action by which someone acquires an instrument, in order to perform a given activity. The notion of instrumentation is part of a network of concepts; we will focus here on the main dialectical relationships between them.

The discussion focuses on three questions: First, what are the theoretical and methodological tools used in order to conceptualize and investigate textbook and resource use? Second, what can we learn about the use of textbooks and resources by teachers from the chapters in this volume? Third, what do we learn from comparing teachers-resources interactions across different countries? Based on the discussion conclusions are drawn regarding perspectives of future research on mathematics textbooks and resources and their use.

One of the major changes appears to be initiated by the profusion of Open Educational Resources (OER), which provide new opportunities for the design and use of teaching resources. In order to analyze the effects of such opportunities, we focus on two cases: the French Sésamath association, providing OERs at a large scale; and a French mathematics teacher using OERs as a means for accomplishing her teaching. Through the lens of DAD, we investigate the implication of this provision of ‘resources-on-offer’ for teachers’ practices.

Beyond this goal, it aims to evidence the fact that, far from being an isolated work, the contributions received to this TSG, their number as well as their content,
witness the emergence, at an international level, of a new field of research, dedicated to the teachers’ resources. After having set this scene, this introduction shortly overviews the chapters of this monograph, structured in five sections.

We follow with considerations of the controversies raised by the new curriculum (starting September 2016) for students aged 12 to 15. Next we focus on a particular content area, algorithmics across different grades. Textbooks are crucial resources for teaching, influencing the implemented curriculum (Pepin & Haggarty, 2001; Valverde et al., 2002). Deep changes in curriculum have resulted in the development of digital resources so we also focus on the development of a particular French e-textbook. In the conclusion, we synthesize the main aspects of curriculum content, design, and implementation in France.

This chapter aims to question the different meanings, and the potential, of this emergent concept. For this purpose, it lies first on the experience of the author, considering both connecting students as a support of their mathematics learning, and connecting teachers as a support of their professional development. Then it considers the views expressed in the connectivity panel occurring in the I7th ICMI study, dedicated to technology in mathematics education. Finally, it discusses the dynamics of the concept itself for the future of mathematics education.
Tools and Mathematics: Instruments for Learning, 2016

Mathematics learning indeed develops 'under the umbrella' of the 'really used' tools. And the development of tools depends – partially – on the curricula intended as well as implemented: the design of calculators specially conceived 'for the test' is a clear illustration of this influence. This chapter aims to evidence that the integration of tools in mathematics curricula in far from being a linear and natural process. It depends on a set of conditions (designing new tasks, new techniques; training teachers; finding new equilibrium for teachers' and students' mathematical activity. This chapter is organised in three sections setting the scene: the first section proposes a vertical (historical) point of view, aiming to evidence the continuity of some issues over the time; the second gives an horizontal (international comparative) point of view, aiming to evidence, beyond the national peculiarities, some common features; the third section proposes a case study, the French policy on assessment, seen as paradigmatic. The conclusion addresses some questions and draws some perspectives for further studies.

I will look at this particular moment through the eyes of a contemporary researcher on mathematics education, aware of the impossibility of looking at the past through the eyes of the present, and of the interest of enriching the present didactical questions by an historical lighting.

This complex genesis is traced in four sections: a first section on the roots of the didactics of mathematics in France, a second section on two founding theoretical frameworks (the theory of didactical situations of Brousseau, and the theory of conceptual fields of Vergnaud), a third section on the anthropological approach of Chevallard, a fourth focusing on specific approaches dedicated to artefacts and resources in mathematics education. Beyond historical and cultural specificities, the chapter aims to evidence the potential of interactions between teachers and researchers, as well as interactions between researchers in mathematics and mathematics education for improving our understanding of learning and teaching issues in mathematics.
In this chapter, I analyse specificities of the French field of " didactics of mathematics " , questioning its reasons, tracing the geneses of concepts related to artefacts, and following influences on and interactions with the international communities of research. Questioning the dynamics of the theoretical frameworks, that we bear and that leads us, is complex, as each theory is a result of individual and collective pathways (Trouche, 2009), which meet a set of sometimes critical facts and are subjects to multiple influences. I have organized this chapter in four sections, giving voice to some main actors 1 involved in these complex geneses: a first section on the roots of the didactics of mathematics in France, a second section on two founding theoretical frameworks (the theory of didactical situations of Brousseau, and the theory of conceptual fields of Vergnaud), a third section on the anthropological approach of Chevallard, a fourth focusing on specific approaches dedicated to artefacts and resources in mathematics education

Such changes are not limited to the world of work: technology is transforming interactions with media, and this also relates to books. This chapter focuses on one way in which technology may transform educa- tional processes and bring about new educational dynamics. Specifically we examine ways in which e-book technology might influence one genre of book, the (mathematics) textbook. This chapter’s focus on e-textbooks is a little different than the focus of many who do research on technology in mathematics education. For many years, technology in mathematics education has focused on support for student activity in classrooms. While two of the authors have written, in previous editions of this Handbook (Yerushalmy & Chazan, 2002, 2008), about curriculum development and technology, and the impact of various tools and approaches on teaching and learning, we explore in this chapter deep evolutions in the learning, teaching, and professional development processes that digital resources, in particular e-textbooks, may create as they potentially transform current educational practice. We suggest that these potential transformations in teaching and learning require new research perspectives (Gueudet, Pepin, & Trouche, 2012). Further, we suggest that there are interesting opportunities—and even an urgent need—to renew research perspectives on technology and teachers’ participation in the design phase of technology tools, in particular on e-textbooks used and designed by teachers. In this chapter, we present a synthesis of research and development studies on e-textbooks, and analyze the crucial evolutions connected with their design and use.

Alors que ces chapitres s’inséraient dans une problématique de l’activité de l’enseignant principalement dans la classe, nous considérons ces usages d’un point de vue plus général, celui des ressources en ligne dans le travail des enseignants. Ce point de vue conduit, en prolongeant le propos du chapitre 12, à questionner les frontières de ce que sont les technologies numériques pour l’enseignement ; nous présentons ce questionnement en section 1. Nous montrons que ce point de vue demande un regard élargi, tant sur les ressources que sur l’activité professionnelle des enseignants, individuelle et collective : il a suscité ainsi le développement d’une approche théorique spécifique. Nous exposons (section 2) cette approche, que nous nommons approche documentaire du didactique. Nous la mettons en œuvre ensuite dans deux contextes collectifs : celui d’une association (section 3) et d’un dispositif de formation continue (section 4), en nous attachant plus particulièrement à l’articulation entre conception et usages, individuels et collectifs.

It represents the emergence of a new culture-a virtual culture with new paradigms-which differs crucially from preceding cultural forms. In this chapter, the implications of this paradigm shift, for policies concerning learning, curriculum design, and teacher education will be discussed.

By nature, teaching involves aspects of collective work, but the development of digitalization fosters it. This chapter articulates the frames of communities of practice and of the documentational approach, defining the concept of community documentation genesis. We develop a case study, concerned with an online association of secondary school mathematics teachers, designing and sharing resources. Drawing on evidence from this case study, we explain the interactions between community geneses, community documentation geneses and professional geneses.

We name it documentational approach of didactics (Gueudet & Trouche 2009). We begin (section 2.1) with a discussion of the elementary concepts of this approach: documentation work, teachers’ documentation, resources/document dialectics, documentational genesis. We then elaborate (section 2.2) the methodology we use for studying teachers’ documentation, and the data we have collected using this methodology over two years. In section 2.3, we detail a case study, extracted from these data. Finally, we present the perspective on teachers’ professional growth yielded by this approach (section 2.4). We pay particular attention to digital resources, the constituting factors of major evolutions.

C’est cette association que nous voudrions questionner dans cette contribution, et la notion même de collectif. Dans un premier temps, nous montrons que l’Internet dévoile des aspects
collectifs de l’activité des enseignants structurée autour de que nous définissons comme le travail documentaire. Dans un deuxième temps, nous montrons comment l’Internet développe de nouvelles formes de collectif, à travers le cas des associations d’enseignants conceptrices de ressources en ligne. Enfin, nous analysons un exemple de prise en compte institutionnelle de ces nouvelles formes de travail enseignant, dans la perspective d’un renouvellement des dispositifs de formation continue.

The Documentational Approach To Didactics (DAD) aims to study teachers' professional development ... more The Documentational Approach To Didactics (DAD) aims to study teachers' professional development through their interactions with their resources for/from teaching. It has been introduced in the French community of didactics of mathematics in 2007, then extended at an international level. It has been introduced as an entry in the Encyclopedia of Mathematics Education in 2020. The DAD-Multilingual project (2020-2021) is dedicated to gather and confront the translations of this entry towards 14 languages. The project main goals are: making available-for students as well as for researchers-a presentation of DAD in various languages; deepening the DAD concepts themselves in thinking their possible instantiations in different languages; questioning the translation processes; and questioning the notion of resource itself, resource for/from teaching. The lecture presents this project, and draws some lessons from its first steps. In this lecture, we want to present an ongoing project dedicated to better understand mathematics teachers' professional development through the lens of their interactions with a diversity of resources. In the first part, we will introduce the so-called Documentational Approach to didactics (DAD), which has been developed for about 10 years. In a second part, we will present the DAD-Multilingual project, aiming to deepen this approach through its adaptation towards different social, curricular and linguistic contexts. In the third part, we will present the feedback of the scientific committee of this project, allowing to better situating the scope of the project and the ways for its development. In the fourth part, we will present the preliminary results, and will conclude in drawing some perspectives.

We address the following issue: how might we understand the processes by which teachers engage with curriculum resources to design instruction? We situate our work in the documentational approach to didactics and propose two new concepts: documentational experience and documentational trajectory, aiming to analyze teachers’ professional development over time through their interactions with resources. Our methodological choices are inspired by the reflective investigation leading teachers to reflect about their work. We analyze the case of two middle school teachers, Anna and Viviane. Our preliminary findings evidence that these teachers’ documentational experience developed quite differently. Anna’s documentation is strongly supported by her collective work outside of school, helping her to face new curricular changes. Viviane’s documentation work is strongly supported by her interactions with her colleagues and the use of institutional resources, helping her to face the same changes.

Les deux recherches qui seront présentées dans le séminaire visent à répondre à la suivante question: Comment les futures enseignants de mathématiques constituent-ils leurs systèmes documentaires ? Cibelle Assis questionne la métamorphose du “système de ressources pour étudier” des futurs enseignants en un “système de ressources pour enseigner” culminant dans un premier système de document. Rogério Ignácio étudie le développement professionnel des futurs enseignants, au cours du stage supervisé, lorsqu'ils développent un projet de création, d'expérimentation et d'analyse d'un chapitre d'un manuel scolaire numérique.

Katiane et Rosilângela s'intéressent respectivement à ces questions, la première dans le cadre du travail des enseignants en activité, la deuxième dans le cadre du travail en formation. Le concept de schème (Vergnaud, 1996), qui permet d’analyser l’organisation de l’activité humaine, est au coeur de leurs contributions à ce séminaire, et, plus généralement, de leur thèse. Katiane travaille les concepts d'expérience et de trajectoire documentaires, Rosilangela propose le modèle de méta-orchestration instrumentale pour penser l'intégration, par les enseignants en formation, du concept d'orchestration instrumentale.

To analyse the selection of resources, we use the idea of "paths", that is, documentary traces in the practice of teachers. We present the case of a primary-school first grade teacher from Colombia. Our results show how the selection of digital resources implies a mobilisation of the teacher's documentational system (and her corresponding professional knowledge) and describes a path of reflective selection that involves professional knowledge about resources, how to use them in specific situations and the teacher's opportunities to reflect (and learn) about her own practice.

This creates a new complexity for both the work of teachers and researchers who are interested in teachers' work and their professional development. Such situation has led to the emergence the Documentational Approach to Didactics (DAD) (Gueudet, Pepin & Trouche, 2012), which provides a perspective for investigating both teachers' individual and collective work with resources. With a particular interest in the knowledge aspect of teachers' interaction with resources, we propose the notion of Documentation Expertise (DE) based on the notion of documentation work in DAD, and selected methodology tools, such as Documentation-working Mate (DWM), for studying it. To contribute to the symposium topic " teacher-resource use in the world " , we situate our study in China, where teachers' collective work is part of teachers' daily work, which is evident in their various activities in the so-called Teaching Research Groups (TRG). We investigated two middle school mathematics teachers from the same school (one advanced teacher, and one novice teacher). We address (and compare) their individual work with their personal resources, and their collective work in the TRG. In terms of results, we develop insights into selected components of their DE, and how their DE is developed through collective work. This study is part of the first author's PhD project 1 (2014-2018).

Nous explorons ici les liens hypothétiques que peut avoir l’affinité d’un professeur de sciences physiques et chimiques avec les ressources, les interactions avec ses collègues et son enseignement.
We analyze the relationships that teachers build with the disciplines that they teach by offering a concept : disciplinary affinity. We explore hypothetical links of the affinity of a professor of physical and chemistry with her/his resources, the interactions with her/his colleagues and her/his teaching.

It presents an experienced teacher’s use of GeoGebra and of worksheets in a class with 11th grade high-school students, and contrasts it with his reflection during a semi-structured interview that took place after the class. We aim to show how this teacher structures and integrates his resource system (including a technological tool) into the educational model (and the curricular characteristics and analyse the role that his experience plays in such integration). The data analysis shows the difficulties of this teacher in integrating the technological tool into his classes, and how his vast teaching experience is insufficient for him to efficiently achieve that resource integration.

The conference is followed by a young researcher workshop structured under four sessions. The Re(s)sources 2018 call for contributions concerned participation in the Working Groups, which constitute the essential place for presentation, discussion, and collective work on specific topics related to resources. Each proposal has been peer-reviewed (and subsequently revised), resulting in 70 accepted oral and 7 accepted poster contributions.
The present volume, edited by V. Gitirana, T. Miyakawa, M. Rafalska, S. Soury-Lavergne and L. Trouche before the conference, gives access to the presentations of the main moments of Re(s)sources 2018 conference and of the Young Researchers’ Workshop, to the presentations of the lecturers, panelists and WG coordinators, and, essentially, to the whole set of accepted contributions. As such, it constitutes an essential resource for preparing the Conference.
The conference itself will give rise to a book, to be published in October 2018 in the Springer series Advances in Mathematics Education. This book, entitled “Resources in Mathematics Teachers’ Professional Activity”, will be edited by L. Trouche, G. Gueudet and B. Pepin. It will contain papers written by the plenary lecturers and panelists, and syntheses of the work of each WG, written/authored by their coordinators, in addition to selected and developed contributions. A new resource to come, for keeping alive the results of the Re(s)source 2018 conference!

The study focuses on teacher collaboration within such an online learning environment, in terms of co-working and co-learning. The Italian and the French teams outlined a common starting point of the research and some common research concerns (the two papers have a similar Introduction for this reason). Each team then reformulated the research questions and tried to answer them through specific theoretical lenses. In the case of the French MOOC eFAN Maths, we study the trainees' collaborative design of a pedagogical resource, by focusing on the efficiency of an evaluation grid designed by trainers to be used within a global process of peer evaluation. A comparison with the results of the Italian experience is shown in the conclusion.

Each teacher during his or her professional life uses and creates many resources. To analyse the history of teachers' work with resources, we propose the concept of the " documentational trajectory ". This idea is based on and aims to contribute to the development of the documentational approach to didactics. We will present a case study of one middle school teacher. The data related to this teacher's work will allowed us to consider her documentational trajectory. We then used the teacher's documentational trajectory to analyze her professional development. The teacher's documentational trajectory demonstrates a strong participation in collective work, in particular a collective named SESAMES, has an essential role. This participation contributes to the emergence of a particular resource, called a metaresource, to structure her documentation work.

Au-delà d'une histoire de personnes, il s'agit bien d'une construction scientifique, répondant à des besoins éducatifs forts : au Sénégal la nécessité d'assurer une formation mathématique et didactique à des enseignants qui, souvent, arrivent dans les classes sans les ressources initiales nécessaires pour « faire leur métier » ; en France la nécessité de repenser les formation initiale et continue pour faire face aux nouvelles conditions du métier (nouveaux outils, nouveaux dispositifs d'enseignement, prise en compte des difficultés d'apprentissage). La contribution alterne les contributions des deux auteurs. Elle retrace les différentes étapes de cette collaboration : d'abord une mission de formation de la France vers le Sénégal, s'étendant au fil des années à de nouvelles institutions et à de nouveaux acteurs ; puis des séjours d'étude longs, qui conduisent à des masters et à une thèse impliquant les deux auteurs ; ensuite le développement d'une réflexion articulée à la création de dispositifs de formation dans les deux pays, dispositifs fondés sur la conception collaborative de ressources. L'article montre alors la double germination des concepts, nourrie par les expériences de part et d'autre. C'est une nouvelle approche théorique qui émerge, donnant un rôle particulier aux ressources des enseignants, et aux interactions entre enseignants et ressources. Cette approche conduit à de nouveaux projets communs. Au delà de ces projets, il s'agit bien d'une recomposition des relations entre le Nord et le Sud, qui se traduit par l'émergence de nouvelles structures ; EMF (Espace Mathématique Francophone) en est un exemple emblématique. Abstract: Political evolution of Senegal, from a French colony to an independent state with its own educational and scientific institutions, constitute the background to this paper, which traces the emergence and development of a scientific collaboration between French and Senegalese researchers. Beyond a story of people, it is indeed a scientific design responding to educational needs: (a) in Senegal, the need for mathematical and didactical teacher education, as teachers often enter the classroom without the required competencies " to do their job"; (b) in France, the need to rethink pre-and in-service teacher education to meet new/changed conditions of teaching (e.g. new/different learning tools and teaching devices; different audience/s with different learning difficulties). The paper traces the various stages of the collaboration: first a training mission (with French colleagues going to Senegal) spreading over time to new institutions and new actors; long study periods (both in France and in Senegal) leading to masters and one PhD (involving the two authors); then the development and furthering of thinking/discussions/reflections around the Sokhna et Trouche 1-2 creation of training systems (in both countries), including devices based on collaborative design of resources. As the paper shows, this resulted in a reciprocal germination of concepts nurtured by the experiences in each country. Moreover, a new theoretical approach emerged giving a special role to teachers' resources and to the interactions between teachers and resources, which in turn led to new joint projects. Beyond these projects, the collaborative projects have indeed reorganized the relations between Francophone North and South, which resulted in the emergence of new structures (e.g. EMF, Espace Mathématique Francophone).

(selected) French mathematics teachers’ interactions with and use of a commonly used mathematics e-textbook (Sesamath), individually and collectively. Using three recent studies on teachers’ work with Sesamath, and leaning on theoretical frames from the area of curriculum design and instructional design with technology, we identify several dimensions of
“design”, that is mathematics teachers working as designers. Moreover, we claim that the affordances of digital resources are related to the opportunities for “design” by mathematics teachers, of their own curriculum materials in/for instruction; and for the
development of teachers’ mathematics-didactical design capacity.

Symposium "Mathematics Curriculum Contingencies: From Authoring to Enactment via Curriculum Resources", chaired by David Clarke, Kenneth Ruthven and Mary Kay Stein, in the frame of the AERA 2015 meeting

We link her interactions to the characteristics of the e-textbook, showing the different ways in which Vera used the e-textbook for her lesson preparations and the enactment of her percentage lessons (at grade 8). Moreover, we pay particular attention to the interplay between the e-textbook, the teacher and her grade 8 students, focusing on individualised work. It is claimed that the e-textbook, or parts of it, became a useful tool for enacting and assessing particular differentiated textbook activities that could meet the needs of different learners in Vera’s class. At the same time Vera used the e-textbook to create her own digital course material. Indeed, Vera proposed changes to selected content of the e-textbook, and hence became part of the authorship herself. Comparing these results with the literature, it became clear that the different, and ‘dynamic’, nature of e-textbooks not only provides opportunities for teachers, but also requires teachers to take more agency in selecting, designing and re-designing their curriculum resources. Hence, it is clear that this ‘differentness’ offers challenges, in particular for inexperienced teachers who may expect the textbook to provide defined learning trajectories and progressions. It is argued that the processes necessary to usefully work with interactive e-textbooks, and their associated resources, offer new opportunities for professional learning: learning to teach “with (and not by) the book”.

These processes have been fostered by new ‘digital’ possibilities: platforms; discussion lists, etc. The object of the study has been the French Sésamath association, which mainly involved secondary school mathematics teachers designing various kinds of online teaching resources. The focus has been on their design of a Grade 10 e-textbook, more precisely the chapter on ‘functions’. This design has been considered as a documentation work, and the analysis conducted with the theoretical perspective provided by Cultural-Historical Activity Theory. The authors studied the activity system of the e-textbook designer community, with particular focus on the resources, the rules and the division of labour in this system, their evolutions, and the factors of evolution. Three moments were identified, corresponding to three successive objects of the activity: a full-web e-textbook; interactive exercises; and finally a digital textbook. For lack of space, only one of these moments is presented, as an example. There is evidence that there were particular resources crucial for this collaborative work.

conceptualization of two very different French lower secondary
mathematics textbooks: one which was developed, as it is ‘traditionally’ done, by ‘experts’ (teacher educators and researchers); and one which was developed, innovatively, by teachers using a digital platform. These different designs and conceptualizations had repercussions on the content, structure, potential and intended use of the books, which we investigated using specially designed questionnaires given to the two groups of textbook authors. Our results point to re-conceptualisations of the notions of ‘quality’ and ‘coherence’ of resources, such as textbooks, taking into consideration teachers’ documentation work, in particular their often collective work with digital resources.""

É a pandemia que nos obriga a esta separação, e, provavelmente, nos obriga a repensar os fundamentos, as modalidades das interações nas comunidades científicas, e as questões da própria educação, eu voltarei a essas perspectivas.

Eu tenho bastante interesse nesta colaboração, pois as questões tratadas no Brasil são muito importantes, não somente para o Brasil, e os trabalhos já estão bastante avançados. Eu penso em questões relativas à educação no campo, aos livros escolares, à formação de professores. E ainda os trabalhos que se aproxima das temáticas que eu trabalho, orquestração instrumental, trajetórias documentais, mais geralmente as gêneses documentais.
Eu sinto muito por fazer essa conferência em francês, e eu agradeço àqueles ou àquelas que colocaram as legendas neste vídeo.
Eu vou começar por apresentar as referências que estão já disponíveis (ver arquivo associado), privilegiando as referências em português, e diretamente acessíveis no line. Eu considero que esse repertório é um germe, que deve ser desenvolvido a partir dos trabalhos já realizados no Brasil, e que vão se desenvolver no âmbito desse projeto.

Séminaire national de didactique des mathématiques, Paris, 2020

Cette réflexion se fera en cinq temps, à partir de considérations sur : l’approche instrumentale ; l’approche documentaire du didactique ; la diversité nécessaire des points de vue ; la diversité des évolutions conceptuelles ; et enfin la notion d’accomplissement.
L’approche instrumentale est partie d’une réflexion générale sur la façon dont l’environnement conditionne l’action humaine (Trouche, 2000), mais elle s’est vraiment développée en s’intéressant à des artefacts particuliers (les calculatrices, et les logiciels de calcul formel), et en se nourrissant d’interactions avec d’autres approches théoriques, aux niveaux national et international (Guin & Trouche 2002 ; Guin, Ruthven & Trouche, 2005). On questionnera les fondements politico-épistémologiques de ces développements (Monaghan, Trouche, & Borwein 2017).
C’est fondamentalement un entrelacement d’évolutions technologiques (l’émergence d’Internet) et conceptuelles (une appréhension holistique du travail du professeur ; et une compréhension plus profonde de la notion d’instrumentalisation) qui a conduit à l’extension de l’approche instrumentale à l’approche documentaire, aux niveaux national et international (Gueudet & Trouche, 2008 ; Gueudet, Pepin & Trouche, 2012), les deux niveaux étant d’emblée inter reliés. On questionnera ici les relations entre hybridation de communautés scientifiques et hybridations théoriques.
Du fait de la complexité de l’étude de l’interaction des professeurs avec les ressources de leur enseignement, on mettra en évidence l’intérêt de la diversité des croisements : des approches théoriques (Trouche et al. 2019) ; des disciplines d’enseignement (Messaoui, 2019) ; et des points de vue linguistico-culturels (Wang et al., 2019).
A partir d’un focus sur la notion d’orchestration instrumentale (Drijvers, Grauwin, & Trouche, soumis), on montrera que les évolutions théoriques ne peuvent se résumer à de grandes tendances : ces tendances sont la résultante de multiples évolutions, qui ont toutes leur logique propre.
Le passage à la position de retraité est l’occasion de (se) poser la question de l’accomplissement, ou de la cohérence d’un travail scientifique. Même si, bien sûr, on peut rendre compte de lignes de cohérence, on soulignera quelques éléments d’intranquillité (Said, 2012) qui peuvent éclairer ce qui a été fait, et ce qui n’a pas été fait.

S'appuyant sur deux dispositifs contrastés (un dispositif expérimental, piloté par la recherche, mobilisant un petit nombre de professeurs volontaires sur une longue durée, et un MOOC, mobilisant sur une courte durée, plusieurs milliers d'enseignants), elle met en évidence des conditions de réussite de ces dispositifs : le principe de collaboration collaborative de ressources, une relation forte avec les lieux d'exercice professionnel, le développement de la réflexivité, une équipe de pilotage nourrie par la recherche.

La question de la réalité, et de la nature du travail collectif des enseignants a toujours été discutée, en particulier dans les établissements du second degré (collèges et lycées). On posera ici plusieurs questions : ce travail collectif est-il lié à une discipline - les mathématiques -, ou à une culture - la Chine - ou à un moment du développement des écoles - l'ère du numérique - ? Et on soutiendra que ce collectif est une caractéristique structurante du métier des enseignants, liée en particulier à leur travail sur les ressources, qu'il doit être cultivé pour être développé, et que ce développement est une condition de la professionnalisation des enseignants.

Les exemples suivants sont présentés : l'exemple des "Teaching research groups" et des classes ouvertes à Shanghai; l'exemple des lycées intégrés et celui des commissions nationales d'évaluation des manuels scolaires au Brésil; la façon donc le nouveau dictionnaire de pédagogie de Ferdinand Buisson, en 1911. Ces exemples, à travers les différences liées à des cultures différentes, mettent en évidence trois grands invariants: la mobilisation permanente des enseignants pour disposer des ressources nécessaires à leur enseignement, le rôle critique du travail collectif des ensignants pour soutenir cette mobilisation, la dimension créatrice du travail des enseignants avec/pour des ressources.
Ces invariants sont fondamentaux pour penser le développement des lieux d'éducation associés à l'Institut français de l'éducation.

Dans un environnement communicationnel caractérisé par une connexion quasi permanente et de multiples formes d’accès nomade, avec des jeunes actuellement massivement utilisateurs, producteurs et diffuseurs d’information, mais dont les compétences sont très inégales, la question se pose de former des citoyens qui pourront prendre toute leur place dans cette nouvelle société.
L’enjeu est ainsi d’assurer à chaque élève une éducation aux médias et à l’information qui soit une voie d’accès efficace aux savoirs et un vecteur de leur partage et que chaque enseignant puisse contribuer à cette éducation.
Dans le cadre du plan national de formation 2013, la conférence nationale « Cultures numériques, éducation aux médias et à l’information », associant l’ensemble des disciplines d’enseignement, s'est donnée pour objectif de faire le point sur les questions d’éducation aux médias et à l’information. Elle s'est proposée d’en clarifier les visées et de réfléchir à ses formes diverses de mise en œuvre dans l’enseignement et dans l’ensemble des démarches éducatives. Elle a visé également une réflexion sur les partenariats sociétaux induits par l’éducation aux médias et à l’information, une discussion de pratiques pédagogiques innovantes, un encouragement de la production et de la publication de contenus par les enseignants et les élèves et enfin une intégration de toutes les dimensions de la culture de l’information (droit, économie, lettres, sciences, etc.).
Cette conférence a été co-organisée par l’Institut français de l’Éducation (IFÉ - ENS de Lyon), l’Inspection générale (IGEN) et la Direction de l’enseignement scolaire (DGESCO - MEN).

On évoquera les circonstances de cette rencontre, puis les développements auxquels elle a donné lieu, pour prendre en compte à la fois les apprentissages des élèves, et le travail du professeur, apprentissages et travail instrumentés par une variété d’artefacts. On mettra aussi en évidence les évolutions liées à l’émergence d’Internet : évolutions théoriques conduisant à de nouvelles conceptualisations, celles de ressource et de document ; évolutions méthodologiques, conduisant à la formalisation de l’investigation réflexive. On proposera ensuite une visite des chantiers en cours, qui explorent les interactions des professeurs avec les ressources de leur enseignement : les aspects collectifs de ces interactions, leurs aspects systémiques, et les effets au long cours de ces interactions.
Finalement, on s’intéressera aux questions de dénominations des concepts, en questionnant leur instanciation dans une variété de langues et de cultures.

I will mention the joint work on the integration of technologies (Trouche et al. 2013, Cuevas Vallejo et al. 2018, Orozco et al. 2019), which crossed François’ interests (Páez Murillo & Pluvinage 2019), until more recent developments on the study of teachers' interactions with their teaching resources (Trouche et al. 2020). French-Mexican collaboration on this last theme appeared as one of the elements of an international network in development (Wang et al. 2019).

The dynamics of theoretical frameworks in action
PhD Ens de Lyon (France) and ECNU (China), 2022
There have been long-standing challenges in learning 3D geometry. 3D dynamic geometry environment... more There have been long-standing challenges in learning 3D geometry. 3D dynamic geometry environments (3D DGEs) offer teachers new opportunities for supporting student visualization but also raise issues, such as the tension between students’ perception and logical reasoning. This study investigates an essential but challenging teacher practice in the learning environments integrated with 3D DGEs: the coordination behavior in support of students’ coordination of their own perception and different modes of logical reasoning which not only include theoretical deductive reasoning but also inductive and abductive reasoning.
Our study happens, both in France and China, in a time of the Covid-19 epidemic.
To deepen our understanding of teachers’ coordination practice and the related knowledge and views, and to provide implications for in-service teachers and teacher educators, we investigate the following research questions.
(1) In real classroom teaching, what coordination behavior would a teacher mobilize when she is helping students solve 3D geometry tasks and using 3D DGEs? What knowledge and views are underpinning the coordination behavior? How is the coordination behavior be influenced by the characteristics of the 3D geometry tasks-3D DGEs?
(2) In distance online teaching during the Covid-19 epidemic, how can the 3D geometry tasks-3D DGEs used by a teacher and her coordination behavior be different from those in real classroom teaching? How have the knowledge and views of the teacher been updated to support the different coordination behavior? To what extent can the differences be attributed to the epidemic?
A compound theoretical framework is established to address these questions. The Documentational Approach to Didactics (DAD, Trouche et al., 2020) serves as a global framework to integrate the regularities in the teacher’s coordination behavior and their knowledge and views into a coherent unity – usage scheme (renamed “coordination scheme” in this study). Every coordination scheme corresponds to a class of situations which integrates the 3D geometry tasks, 3D DGEs, teaching settings, and other elements relevant to that scheme. The characteristics of 3D geometry tasks and 3D DGEs are respectively described from several dimensions according to the works of Piaget et al. (1973) and Morgan et al. (2009). The rules of action (renamed “rules of coordination” in this study) in the coordination scheme are further connected with a sub-framework of coordination behavior, which is built on Toulmin's (1958) diagram of argumentation and Conner et al.’s (2014) framework of teacher support for collective argumentation. The operational invariants in the coordination scheme are connected with a categorization sub-framework, which is built on the TPACK knowledge framework (Koehler & Mishra, 2009) and other studies on teachers’ views about behavior control, social norms and time economy (Pierce & Ball, 2009; Ruthven, 2014). The compound framework allows reformulating the research questions above on the one hand, and serves as the tool of analysis on the other hand. Adopting a case study methodology and being situated in a Sino-French cooperation project, this study follows the 3D DGE-integrated lessons series of three teachers, with two teachers from France and one teacher from China. All the three teachers are experienced in using 3D
ix
DGEs to teach 3D geometry. For each lesson series, we collect the resources related to the tasks and 3D DGEs, the classroom videos/ screen recording videos/ teacher’s written memoir of the lesson procedures, and the semi-structured general interviews integrated with stimulated recall techniques (Calderhead, 1981). The data of each lesson series are analyzed with the compound framework above, with framework itself being revised from time to time. According to the results of the analysis of the data, we can answer the two groups of research questions. Concerning the first group of research questions, the cases in this study show the diversity of teachers’ coordination behavior. Some typical pieces of coordination behavior include: guide students to develop theoretical deductive reasoning to validate the results perceived by them in a 3D DGE, encourage students to take the perceptive evidences as factual premise to develop the following theoretical deductive reasoning, guide students to explain the conclusion of perception based-inductive reasoning with theoretical deductive reasoning. Besides, the cases in this study show that teachers’ coordination behavior is underpinned by different categories of knowledge and views, and the coordination behavior is influenced by the 3D geometry tasks and the 3D DGEs to different extents. The two French teachers always emphasize students’ theoretical deductive reasoning in their coordination behavior; they would attach more importance to students’ perception only when the perceptive support from simulating gestures/ 3D real objects/ 3D DGEs is especially helpful. This is influenced by the 3D geometry topics of the tasks, the curriculum prescriptions and examination requirements, the features of the figural representations in the 3D DGEs, their own understanding of the task solutions, and their views about the perceptive support of the simulating gestures/ 3D real objects/ 3D DGEs. The Chinese teacher would emphasize, in his coordination behavior, different modes of logical reasoning or the perception of students according to different situations. This is mainly influenced by the 3D geometry topics of the corresponding tasks, the examination (but not curriculum) requirements, and his own consideration about whether the particular logical reasoning and perception would allow students to solve the tasks efficiently under the examination requirements. In their coordination behavior, the three teachers also adopt various strategies to support students’ logical reasoning and perception. The strategies are mainly determined by their general pedagogical content knowledge, their knowledge and views about the potentials and side effects of 3D DGEs, and their pedagogical strategies for exploiting the potentials or overcoming the side effects. In addition, abundant technological content knowledge and a high level of confidence in behavior control, or the availability of well-structured 3D DGEs would increase the probability that a teacher uses 3D DGEs in her coordination practice.
Concerning the questions in the second group, this study only investigates the case of the Chinese teacher. The influence of the Covid-19 epidemic on his coordination behavior are reflected in: (for the distance online teaching) the lack of simulating and denoting hand gestures, the more frequent use of scaffolding lines and 3D DGEs, and the lack of the questions and actions for eliciting students’ input. Nevertheless, the essential part of his coordination behavior – the mode of logical reasoning mainly promoted, and the role of perceptive evidences in the logical reasoning – has not been much affected by the epidemic; it is attributed to his openness
x
to new technological tools, the ease felt by him in learning to use the new technological tools, and his proficiency in using and designing 3D DGEs.
The theoretical developments made in this study consist in the following points.
• explore some critical elements in the professional situations in the DAD framework; introduce to DAD the new concepts of the same/close/distant classes of situations, and direct/indirect documentational genesis.
• introduce the different features of argumentation components, such as (perceptive, intuitive, factual) data and (abductive, inductive, deductive) warrants, to the sub-framework of coordination behavior; take into account not only the teacher’s direct contributions of these argumentation components, but also her indirect contributions such as questions, supportive actions, and use of resources, in the sub-framework; distinguish between the validating actions and rebutting actions in the supportive actions; • propose a categorization sub-framework for operational invariants, integrating three categories of views about time economy, behavior control and social norms, with another five categories adapted from the TPACK knowledge framework. These theoretical constructs allow us to capture the essential features of teachers’ coordination activities, and to better examine the transformation of such activities from a real classroom lesson series to a distance online lesson series. The theoretical constructs meanwhile bring some issues, such as the integration of the same/close/distant classes of situations into the initial constructs of DAD, which should be addressed through future studies.
This study provides implications for teacher education in several perspectives. With respect to the examination policy, examination designers could set a reasonable proportion of small items to encourage teachers to foster non-deductive logical reasoning or perception of students in their coordination practices. With respect to the construction of resources, the availability of well-structured 3D DGEs, which are equipped with faithful figural representations, functional tools and informative feedback, can greatly enhance the willingness of teachers to use 3D DGEs in support of their coordination. With respect to the teacher training projects, the training should pay more attention to teachers’ general pedagogical content knowledge, the potentials and the constraints of 3D DGEs for supporting students’ perception and logical reasoning, and the pedagogical strategies for exploiting the potentials or overcoming the side effects. The study also shows the importance of the support from the collective around a teacher: studying the influence of collective work on individual teachers’ coordination practices is a promising direction for future research.

Teaching mathematics through variation appears an important topic as soon as we study task design... more Teaching mathematics through variation appears an important topic as soon as we study task design, many teachers teaching consciously or unconsciously in varying these tasks. It has been proved to be an effective way of teaching mathematics in China and has a profound theoretical foundation both in China and France. This thesis is situated in between China and France, crossing two traditions and cultural contexts, aiming to think fruitful interactions between them and improve the effectiveness of mathematics teaching by understanding the role and evolution of teaching through variation. At this digital turning point of resources explosion, the development of technologies and the potential variations that it brings are also taken into account.
Variation appears in two traditions of research, the Chinese and the French one. In China, Gu (Gu et al., 2004) situated BIANSHI jiaoxue (teaching through variation) as an effective way in mathematics teaching, distinguishing conceptual variation and procedural variation. In France, Brousseau (2002) situated the didactical variables as sensitive elements of a problem whose modifications can significantly influence students’ behavior.
After presenting and contrasting these two theories, we propose a preliminary model of “teaching mathematics through variation” by combining these two theoretical approaches with the Documentational Approach to Didactics (Trouche, Gueudet & Pepin, 2020). The documentational approach to didactics focuses on the interactions between teachers and resources, named their documentation work, which has implications for teachers’ professional development. It combines the study of two interrelated processes, instrumentation (the way the resources influence teacher activity and knowledge) and instrumentalization (the way each teacher adapts each resource s/he integrates in her/his own activity), and considers, for each teacher, the development of her/his resource system as a result of these processes.
Our preliminary model distinguishes potential variation (the changes explicitly proposed by a given task, or series of tasks), actual variation (the possible changes made explicit by a teacher when integrating a task as a resource) and practical variation (the changes occurring when implementing the resource in class). It is based on the process of transforming potential variation into actual variation, and of using practical variation for rethinking potential and actual variation.
Three research questions are explored: 1) What are the potential variations in the upper secondary school mathematics textbooks and other curriculum resources in China and France?
2) What are the actual variations in the Chinese and French cases to achieve
the teaching goal?
3) What are the practical variations in Chinese and French cases? How does the case teachers take into account these practical variations?
For addressing these issues, an analytical framework based on our initial model is proposed as an analytical tool in our research for studying different types of variations (contextual, representational, conceptual and procedural) in each stage (potential, actual, and practical) through teacher’s documentation work. It is applied to the analysis of curriculum resources (textbooks and online resources), two case studies (both in France and China) and contrasting of these cases.
As a critical element of our analytical framework, we propose the concept of variation path. Variation path is, for a given task, the process of evolution of each type of variations, through the three stages of potential, actual and practical variations, over a teacher documentation work. The evolution could be in the form of retaining, removing, reducing, extending, or creating variation. It is applied to the case studies and represented by a schematic representation
We followed in both countries the available resources, the documentation work, and the classroom teaching of two experienced mathematics teachers of upper secondary schools, focusing on the topic of function (due to its interest for varying the way and the form of teaching). We also studied textbooks used in case teachers’ classes, and the online platform designed as supplementary resources of textbooks.
This study allows to enlighten our questions of research, to refine our initial model and its corresponding analytical framework. It opens new perspectives for taking into account variation not only for a given task, but also for the enrichment of teachers’ resource systems, and for their professional development.
Taking advantage of the two main levels (level of mathematics teaching content, level of education noosphere) proposed by Wang (2019), we discussed the possibilities of extending our reflections from one case teacher to a category of teachers in China or France.
This study raises new theoretical perspectives, such as thinking variation as a way of moving in a conceptual field (Vergnaud, 2009), opening a window on other mathematical variation traditions, as the Hungarian one (Gosztonyi, 2015), thinking both the evolution of tasks and the evolution of teacher documentation work by linking variation path and documentational trajectories (Rocha, 2019). It also opens new practical perspectives, such as integrating a ‘variation spirit’ in the textbooks, in problem-solving, using the digital potentialities of platform for developing living resources, and considering teachers’ collective work and education on variation.

However, their training takes little account of this knowledge. The goal of the thesis is to identify this knowledge as developed by the teachers themselves. It takes place at the crossroads of several fields: the documentational approach to didactics, the conceptualization in action and the information literacy. It aims at modeling what will be called the teachers’ documentational expertise, based on the identification of their documentational scheme of action and documentational scheme of use. This modeling is based on three case studies: two teachers in English and one in mathematics, followed up for two years, each of these teachers having to deal with a mutation of their informational environment. The methodology is carried out according to the principles of reflective investigation, from which the self-recording device of the documentational work has been designed.
Three research questions are considered: what are the components of the documentational expertise implemented in the documentational work of the teachers? What are the situations of documentational work which favor its development? What is the influence of the subject taught? A model of documentational expertise is proposed, structured by epistemic, didactic, and pedagogical knowledge affected by the discipline taught, and by informational and technological knowledge which is more generic knowledge. This study evidences the fact that situations of mutation accelerate the development of the documentational expertise thus defined.

It is particularly interested in the impact of the introduction of algorithmics and programming - proposed by the 2016 reform - on their documentational work.
For this study, we propose a theoretical framework based on the documentational approach to didactics and on the professional didactics. We are interested in events (related to individual and / or collective work) that have the potential to transform teachers’ documentational work over time, introducing the concepts of documentational trajectory and experience.
We have developed a methodological framework inspired by the principles of reflective investigation. We followed then two middle schools mid-career teachers: Anna and Viviane. The two teachers were chosen for their contrasted profiles in relation to the collective work. The study highlights that teachers interact in a very different way with resources and their documentational trajectories help to understand what is behind these differences. Finally, it highlights the potential of collective work for the professional development of teachers, in particular to cope with curriculum changes.

Teachers have to develop and improve a set of competencies for facing such a situation. Focusing on mathematics teacher professional development, this PhD research aims at exploring mathematics teachers' expertise required for, and developed in, interacting collectively with resources. The research is designed as case study in two contrasting contexts (China and France), because a body of researches on expertise agree that expertise is a practical knowledge in action, which is contextualized, value laden and culture-bound.
Taking Documentational Approach to Didactics (DAD) as the main theoretical framework, this study is dedicated to explore the expertise aspect of this approach, and proposes the new notion of Documentation Expertise (DE) to refer to teachers' expertise in documentation work, namely the expertise in interacting with resources. Key notions of DAD, documentation work, resource system and scheme are retained for studying the components of DE in depth.
Three questions are explored:
1. What DE could be found in mathematics teachers' documentation work? What are the components of DE and the corresponding performances of experienced teachers?
2. How DE could get developed through teachers' collective work? What are the factors that could be supportive for DE development?
3. Through two contrasting cases, what are the similarities and differences? What could be borrowed and adapted for a mutual benefit?
Two theoretical frameworks, Cultural-historical Activity Theory (CHAT) and Anthropological Theory of the Didactic (ATD) are also combined and coordinated with DAD. The activity system of CHAT is used for analyzing the individual teacher's roles and labor division; the hierarchy levels of co-determination in ATD is used for making contrasting analysis.
The study is based on the methodology of reflective investigation from DAD. Special tools for this research are also developed: Inferred/Reflective Mapping of Resource System, Reflective Investigating-Box, Documentation-Working Mates (DWM, meaning regular partners in documentation working), and daily resource usage logbook.
The cases chosen for are: One experienced teacher and her two less experienced DWMs who work as her apprentices in the Chinese case; two experienced teachers work as each others’ DWMs in the French case.
To propose a model for describing the components of DE, two steps are proposed: a first DE model based on literature review and a pilot study in China, a refined model after two contrasting cases analysis. For refining this model, the study follows three perspectives: The DE perspective of naming systems, the DE perspective of viewing the resource system, its content and structure, and the DE perspective of analyzing schemes of documentation work.
The analysis of teachers’ naming systems gives a lens for capturing the important elements of the resource system, and main resources used, through the word frequency in teachers’ interview transcriptions. Three indicators are considered for studying these resources: (1) Their content; (2) Their position in the resource system (their links with other resources); (3) Their activeness (the frequency they are used and the way they are managed).
3
Six views are proposed for capturing the complexity of resource systems: mathematics; didactics; curriculum, didactics; collective; student; and a design view. A view means a lens seeing the resource system with a given perspective, for example, the ‘student’ view refers to what teachers’ resources are for and from students;
Five schemes are proposed and considered as basic schemes in documentation work: searching for resources; selecting resources, adapting resources; accumulating resources; and reflecting on documentational work. They are intertwined in activities, and not necessary happened in order. The schemes are analyzed from the rules of action and operational invariants.
The cases study brings some main results, taking into account, of course, that some elements of DE properties are linked to the teachers’ profiles and/or to the different cultural/linguistic/institutional contexts:
The need for deepening the naming system perspective by (taking better into account the cultural, linguistic and institutional components of DE);
The current six views needs to be refined with extra views considering the cultural contextual characters, such as a school view, an usage view, and an exam view for the Chinese case, a research view and critical view for the French case. Meanwhile, the articulation between these views are very important, and flexibility of passage between the views may constituting a critical feature of DE;
The number of schemes needs to be extended, and they have to be crossed with the views of resource system; schemes should be considered by involving more situations.
Articulating these three perspectives leads to a new model, unifying the static and dynamic perspectives to study the components of DE.
The two case studies showed that the collective work supports the DE development from two aspects: (1) the resources provided by the collectives, such as the brochures from IREM/APMEP and the school lesson plan repertoire (in the French case), or the exercises and information shared instantly in the WeChat group chatting (in the Chinese case); (2) the opportunities to exchange the experiences (including the resource usage and what need to be avoid during the usage), which could considered a kind of social resources or human resources. The collective problem-oriented exchanges, especially in the Chinese MOKE activity, are crucial for the novice teachers to intensively experience the whole lesson design process including preparation, implementation and reflection.
This study confirms the relevance of the concept of DE in analyzing teachers’ documentation work, as well as its development in collectives. To confront teachers’ view, the tool of Documentation-Working Mates helped to obtain more complete information on the main teacher’s documentation work; the method of taking teachers’ naming system to see through their resource system brings also interesting findings.
Finally, this study raises new theoretical needs, such as in the scheme analysis, how to take the inferences components, how to obtain more precisely the operational invariants; it also question the “broad collection of resources”, and its analysis, especially the videos of teachers’ documentation work and their notes. It also opens new perspectives:
New perspectives of research of naming systems: analyzing verbs that teachers use in dealing with the resources; deepening the data analysis by enlarging the cases from more contexts (see Chinese-Mexican, and Chinese-Ukrainian cases, in progress);
New perspectives of development for teacher education in a time of digital metamorphosis: towards a repertoire of models of collective documentation work, to be adapted with respect to cultural and institutional conditions.

Il questionne le potentiel des ressources de Sésamath, une association française d’enseignants, pour soutenir le travail des professeurs confrontés à cette réforme. Ancrée dans l’approche documentaire du didactique, la thèse a suivi plus particulièrement trois pro-fesseurs d’un collège, à la fois dans leurs classes régulières et dans un atelier de mathématiques : laboratoire d’intégration des ressources de Sésamath. Elle considère particulièrement les systèmes de ressources des enseignants en analysant leur structure et leur évolution, dans la perspective d’une modélisation de ces systèmes. Elle exploite la notion de schème, et notamment d’invariants opératoires, pour décrire l’évolution des connaissances des professeurs. Elle montre comment l’intégration des ressources de Sésamath, dans un milieu arabophone, conduit à développer un travail collectif de sélection, d’adaptation, de traduction et de mise en œuvre de ses ressources. Elle montre comment l’intégration des activités de Sésamath basées sur la résolution de problèmes a soutenu les enseignants dans leur travail de mise en œuvre de la réforme. Elle met en évidence l’intérêt de ces interactions pour l’évolution des connaissances et le développement professionnel des enseignants impliqués. L’étude ouvre des pistes, aussi bien pour la formation des enseignants que pour la modélisation de leur système de ressources.

Ce modèle, la Méta-Orchestration Instrumentale (MOI) est définie comme une coordination systématique et intentionnelle, par un (ou des) formateur(s), des artefacts et des enseignants en formation faisant face à une Méta-Situation (MS). Une MS est définie comme une composition de cinq situations de nature différente : questionner un cadre théorique ; traiter, avec des outils numériques, une situation mathématique ; observer une orchestration instrumentale ; réfléchir sur l’articulation entre théorie et pratique ; analyser et synthétiser les réflexions antérieures. La MOI est la composition d’orchestrations instrumentales (successives, imbriquées ou menées en parallèle), chacune d’entre elle opérant sur l’une des situations composantes de la MOI. La méthodologie de Design Experiment (Brown) fonde la conception itérative de ce modèle. Sa première instanciation a été une classe d’étudiants en master, dédiée à l’introduction de la notion d’orchestration instrumentale. Elle a abouti à la conception d’un premier modèle. Une reconception de ce modèle a été réalisée dans une classe de professeurs en formation, et questionnée grâce à une analyse microgénétique et vidéographique des schèmes en jeu. Elle a conduit à une expansion du premier modèle, incorporant : de nouveaux concepts, comme réactions ad hoc, méta-configurations didactiques, méta-modes d’exploitations, et méta-performance didactique ; de nouvelles caractéristiques, comme la flexibilité et l’interactivité ; et de nouveaux phénomènes, comme les effets de cascade. Les interactions auxquelles donnent lieu les MOI éclairent, non seulement les relations entre les sujets et les artefacts, mais aussi leur travail collectif et les médiations en jeu, composantes essentielles de tout modèle de formation des enseignants.

Cependant, l'étude de jeux à but éducatif montre que les concepteurs de jeux éprouvent des difficultés pour articuler didactique et ludique. C'est à ce niveau que se porte notre réflexion, particulièrement sur les conditions d'une articulation du ludique et du didactique lors du processus de conception d'une ressource. La prise en compte de cette articulation nous a conduit à introduire un nouveau terme jeu-situation désignant cet objet situé entre une situation didactique où les apprentissages sont prioritaires et un jeu où le ludique est prédominant. Notre travail se décompose en deux temps : la conception d'un jeu-situation numérique pour l'apprentissage de l'énumération à l'école maternelle d'une part et l'appropriation de cette ressource par des professeurs d'école maternelle d'autre part.La conception de la ressource repose sur différents cadres théoriques, notamment sur la théorie des situations didactiques. De plus, la conception associe la méthodologie d'ingénierie didactique et de Design-Based Research. Notre étude se poursuit par l'élaboration d'un modèle de conception d'un jeu-situation élaboré autour d'un processus fondamental qu'est l'intégration. Ce modèle est mis à l'épreuve lors de la conception du jeu-situation numérique " A la ferme " pour l'apprentissage de l'énumération à l'école maternelle.Nous abordons, dans un deuxième temps, l'appropriation de ce jeu-situation par des professeurs d'école maternelle. La conceptualisation de la notion d'appropriation s'appuie sur plusieurs domaines : celui de la psychologie de l'environnement et de gestion, celui de la didactique en convoquant notamment l'approche documentaire du didactique. Nous accordons aussi une place importante aux connaissances professionnelles des professeurs qui impactent les processus d'appropriation de ressources. Nous pouvons ainsi présenter un modèle théorique général du concept d'appropriation d'une nouvelle ressource que nous instancions à l'école maternelle et au numérique avec l'outil tablette tactile. L'appropriation est observée à travers trois regards : l'instrumentation, l'instrumentalisation et les orchestrations que nous lions aux connaissances professionnelles

We examine how numbers are taught, particularly with technological resources. Designing and implementing teaching units with these resources, in a fruitful way, is complex, and probably implies that these resources, along with teachers' practices and professional knowledge, evolve. We notably attempt to grasp these evolutions and their impetus. Our theoretical framework mainly refers to the documentational approach of didactics, that allows us to observe how technological resources are integrated in teachers' resource systems. We link up with this approach the notion of orchestration, and analyse the fine didactic management of technological and tangible resources in kindergarten classes. Our study lies within the framework of the research group MARENE, a project on the designing of resources and of the follow-up of their use. Thus, we follow the long-term documentation work of two teachers involved in this project. We propose an « immersion » at the core of these two teachers' documentation activity. We highlight how a general resource system is articulated with a local resource system on the teaching of numbers. We develop the notions of esential ressources and of pivotal resources in order to examine this articulation. We propose to join another notion to these, the notion of set of situated resources. Our research also makes us identify new specific orchestrations at kindergarten school. These are deeply linked to professional knowledge and to resources shared by teachers working in this context (importance, in mathematics, of manipulation, of tangible resources) . We bring out different documentational geneses among the two teachers we follow. We show the dynamic geneses in which the instrumentalisation and instrumentation processes overlap, when it comes to the designing and implementation of lessons including technological ressurces, but also, in a broader perspective, as regards the teaching of numbers. The observation of pupils and the collective are essential incentive for the unfolding of these geneses.

Cet enseignement pluridisciplinaire,visant à initier les élèves à la démarche scientifique dans le cadre d’un projet, a conduit les enseignants de mathématiques, à interroger et à modifier leurs pratiques. Nous proposons d’analyser ces changements sous l’angle des ressources et du travail des enseignants sur ces ressources. Nous mobilisons les cadres théoriques de la double approche didactique et ergonomique (Robert, 2010a ; Rogalski, 2010) et de l’approche documentaire du didactique (Gueudet et Trouche, 2010). Notre recherche est conduite à partir du suivi de professeurs de mathématiques impliqués en MPS et engagés dans différents collectifs disciplinaires et pluridisciplinaires. Ce suivi est complété par des entretiens avec les collègues des autres disciplines. Nous avons aussi effectué une étude sur l’offre des ressources disponibles pour l’un des thèmes proposés. Cette étude s’inscrit dans le programme de recherche ReVEA (Ressources Vivantes pour l’Enseignement et l’Apprentissage), soutenu par l’ANR. Notre thèse propose de montrer l’impact des ressources et de leur manque depuis la compréhension de la tâche prescrite jusqu’à la tâche effective,ainsi que celui des différents collectifs dans lesquels le professeur de mathématiques est impliqué. Elle questionne également les effets de ce travail sur le développement professionnel concernant en particulier la conception et la mise en œuvre de séances fondées sur des démarches d’investigation.

La mise en œuvre de telles démarches suppose que les professeurs conçoivent des situations d’enseignement engageant les élèves dans l’élaboration d’hypothèses ou de conjectures.
Nous articulons des approches épistémologique, didactique et ergonomique pour étudier les connaissances qui permettent à ces professeurs de concevoir de telles situations. Pour cette étude, nous faisons deux choix critiques : le choix du moment de la conception, en privilégiant celui de la préparation des situations ; le choix du contexte de conception, en privilégiant le cadre d’un collectif de professeurs de mathématiques, de sciences physiques et de sciences de la vie et de la Terre.
Nous étudions les interactions à l’intérieur du collectif et leurs effets sur des évolutions des connaissances qui permettent la préparation des situations d’enseignement. Les interactions étudiées sont les interactions sociales entre les professeurs et les interactions entre les professeurs et les ressources partagées par le collectif.
L’analyse de ces interactions met en évidence l’influence de deux leviers sur les évolutions des connaissances étudiées. Le premier est la conception de ressources spécifiques que nous appelons métaressources : les métaressources sont des ressources suscitant une posture réflexive sur l’activité à conduire ou sur ses effets. Le deuxième est la codisciplinarité comme forme de travail collectif. La codisciplinarité privilégie la coopération entre les disciplines, en respectant et en articulant les épistémologies de chacune d’entre elles.

Nous nous intéressons plus particulièrement aux enseignants et futurs enseignants de sciences physiques et chimiques à la fois du point de vue des fondements et des conditions d’émergence des affinités disciplinaire et didactique, ainsi que leurs effets sur l’enseignement, notamment dans le contexte d’un nouveau programme de lycée, le travail documentaire et les interactions avec les collègues. Nous avons mobilisé deux cadres théoriques : l’analyse praxéologique (Chevallard, 1998) et l’approche documentaire du didactique (Gueudet & Trouche, 2008). Nous avons combiné différents outils de recueil de données : questionnaires, entretiens, observations de classe, et visites des systèmes de ressources des enseignants. Les trois derniers outils ont été appliqués à un petit nombre de professeurs, choisis en fonction de leur affinité déclarée et de leur place dans le processus de constitution des ressources d’enseignement (étudiants en master se destinant à l’enseignement et enseignants expérimentés). Nous avons ciblé l’enseignement d’un concept précis, le spectre, choisi pour sa position frontière (issu de la physique et exploité en chimie par les méthodes spectroscopiques). La thèse propose des développements théoriques et méthodologiques pour saisir les interactions entre les affinités disciplinaire et didactique des enseignants et leur travail documentaire. Les résultats montrent l’existence d’une affinité pour une des deux disciplines, et elle met en évidence les relations fortes entre genèse de l’affinité didactique et genèse des ressources de l’enseignant.

Nous partons de l'hypothèse que la professionnalité, particulièrement dans l'enseignement des mathématiques, est influencé par les représentations sociales que les professeurs ont de leurs compétences professionnelles à l'oeuvre dans leurs pratiques dans des contextes sociaux spécifiques et qui fonctionnent comme des guides de conduite dans le développement de leur action en classe et en dehors la classe, dans des activités de préparation de l'enseignement par exemple. Ainsi, dans le développement méthodologique de la recherche, nous avons procédé à l'identification des représentations sociales des compétences pour enseigner les mathématiques et plus spécifiquement des compétences pour organiser les enseignements relatifs à un thème, pour préparer une séance de classe et pour faire la classe. Nous avons administré une association libre des mots, des entretiens et des observations de classe de certains professeurs d'établissements d'enseignement publiques au Brésil et en France. Les résultats de recherche obtenus dans le champ empirique nous ont permis de mettre en évidence des ressemblances et des différences entre les représentations sociales des professeurs brésiliens et français, selon les domaines de la professionnalité (disciplinaire, pédagogique, didactique, déontologique entre autres) et le lien avec leurs pratiques d'enseignement des mathématiques

Deuxièmement, elle vise à étudier les relations entre l’usage de ressources numériques par les enseignants et leurs conceptions concernant le déterminisme génétique du phénotype, en particulier de l’héréditarisme de l'épigénétique. Aux fins de cette étude, une combinaison entre deux cadres théoriques a été utilisée, à savoir, "l'approche documentaire" et le modèle de "KVP". Une méthodologie mixte a été conçue, combinant des études quantitatives et qualitatives: un questionnaire, des entretiens, des journaux de bords, des représentations schématiques de systèmes de ressources (RSSR) et des observations de classe. Le terrain de recherche a impliqué 116 enseignants de biologie du secondaire de diverses régions libanaises. Sur la base des réponses au questionnaire, quatre enseignants ont été sélectionnés pour des études plus approfondies et deux parmi eux ont été suivi pendant deux années consécutives. Les résultats ont mis en évidence que les enseignants intègrent des ressources numériques dans leur enseignement pour favoriser la compréhension, par les élèves, de concepts abstraits en génétique et pour enrichir et mettre à jour leurs connaissances scientifiques. En outre, les résultats ont indiqué que la disponibilité et l'accessibilité de la technologie, la disponibilité du temps, le travail collectif et collaboratif, la maîtrise technologique et les attitudes envers la technologie sont autant des facteurs qui affectent l'intégration, par les enseignants, de ressources numériques. Les résultats ont également montré que la relation entre les ressources et les conceptions est réversible : les conceptions des enseignants affectent leur choix des ressources et leur intégration d'une part (instrumentalisation) et le travail documentaire des enseignants affecte leurs conceptions d'autre part (instrumentation). Les implications pour la pratique et les futures recherches sont discutées.

Our study is situated at the exact moment of the institutional decision to integrate IBST into chemistry teaching at grade 10. The implementation of IBST leads to a new complexity in the work of teachers, which questions their practices, their resources and their professional knowledge. We aim at gaining insight into the chemistry teachers' professional development, particularly with respect to IBST, based on their documentation, i.e. their work on the resources they realize in order to perform their teaching. We focus particularly on the part of this work that takes place within communities. The study was conducted on two case studies. The first one concerns a teacher whom we have followed over two consecutive years within a variety of professional communities, among which one associative community has taken a prominent place. The second case study concerns a teacher followed over one year within ordinary communities of a school. In both cases, the study focuses on the teaching of the amount of substance in grade 10, because of the importance and the complexity of this chemical theme at high school level. The thesis proposes theoretical and methodological developments to understand teachers' work, in its individual and collective components, in its unity and its dynamics, in class and outside the class. It highlights the potential of collective work for teachers' professional development with respect to IBST.

We give an important place to the theoretical framework of documentary genesis, which complements and extends the scope of the instrumental genesis and considers artifacts as well as elements of the digital library system for teachers and students. In the general context of the use of technology in the regular classroom of mathematics, we seek to understand how the incidents are indicative of perturbations that change the dynamic of the class. In developing this notion of didactical incident, we build a framework to highlight the phenomena of documentational genesis of teachers and students and to monitor the short or long term effects on mathematics teaching and learning. We show that the didactical incidents, under certain conditions, o er opportunities for restructuring local and global knowledge for the teacher as part of his teaching or the student's learning of mathematics.

The study was carried out in two contrasting fields. The first field consists of an institutional community: mathematics teachers of a high school, whose classrooms are simultaneously equipped with complex technology; the second field consists of an associative community: a working group of Sésamath association that designs a digital Textbook for the grade 10. In the two cases, we are interested in the teaching of calculus, because of the importance and complexity of this mathematical field in high school. The thesis proposes new theoretical concepts (visions, teacher's world, and community world) and methodological developments to capture individual and community documentations in their structure, their dynamics and their interactions. It highlights, in the two fields of study, critical moments of these processes, documentary incidents, which appear as both revealing and accelerators. It demonstrates the potential these incidents have to develop articulations, global or local, between individual and community documentations.

It relates to a socio-constructivist framework and aims at identifying the setting which is necessary so that students can be able to carry out a scientific inquiry during a fieldwork course for Earth science teaching.
We develop the view that the learning of science is an inquiry based process ; in other words, this process consists in linking, in the framework of problem solving, an empirical register - elaborated during fieldwork – and a scientific model considered as a “thinking tool”. We show that the question of instrumentation is a key question and that the benefit of the software that we have conceived relates to the fact that it mediates the interactions - eg. assists the students during the inquiry process - and allows the teacher to control the learning process. The computer based learning environments are, then, considered as tools which are constructed by the learners through their activity and participate in transforming the learning processes.

Les difficultés liées à la formation continue des professeurs de mathématiques se sont accentuées... more Les difficultés liées à la formation continue des professeurs de mathématiques se sont accentuées ces dernières années au Sénégal, avec le recrutement régulier et massif de vacataires, professeurs sans aucune formation pédagogique et avec un niveau académique insuffisant. Cette situation nécessite une formation continue très importante, mais la dispersion des vacataires dans tout le pays, et l'impossibilité de les éloigner trop longtemps de la classe, rend impossible une formation continue classique. La mise en place d'un dispositif de formation à distance, articulé avec des sessions de formations en présentiel apparaît comme une solution possible à ce problème. Nous étudions dans ce cadre les effets d'une formation basée sur un processus de conception collaborative de ressources pédagogiques. Ces ressources sont conçues par les vacataires eux-mêmes, accompagnés par un formateur, elles sont mises en œuvre dans les classes, puis révisées à la lumière des usages. Nous considérons ces ressources comme des artefacts, qui deviennent des instruments du travail professionnel de l'enseignant au cours d'une genèse que nous étudions dans plusieurs cas. Nous mettons ainsi en évidence l'importance du travail collaboratif pour le développement de ces genèses et la nécessité d'un modèle de ressource qui émerge d'interactions complexes. Pour analyser finement ce qui se passe dans la classe et donc pour mesurer la distance entre, d'une part les organisations mathématiques et didactiques décrites dans les ressources et, d'autre part, celles qui sont mises en œuvre par les professeurs dans leurs classes, nous avons étudié l'évolution des milieux didactiques en les considérant comme des artefacts tout à la fois soumis à l'action du professeur et ouvrant celle-ci. C'est sur l'intérêt, à plusieurs niveaux, de cette approche instrumentale pour l'étude de l'action du professeur que nous concluons ce travail.

C'est ce dernier point de vue qui a permis la stabilisation du concept. Après beaucoup d'oscillations, les programmes d'enseignement en France ont renoncé à donner une définition construite de la notion de limite dans les classes de lycée, prônant une simple utilisation du "langage des limites". Dans la pratique, cet enseignement se réduit à un travail algébrique sur les limites. Les calculatrices graphiques, non prises en compte par l'institution scolaire, sont de plus en plus utilisées par les élèves. Une enquête réalisée en Terminale et en première année universitaire montre l'influence de ces outils qui renforcent chez les élèves une conception monotone des limites, liée au point de vue cinématique. Le point de vue "approximation" ne ressort ainsi ni de l'enseignement reçu, ni de l'utilisation des calculatrices. Une observation plus suivie d'une classe dans laquelle les calculatrices graphiques puis symboliques sont intégrées par le professeur indique que l'influence des outils de calcul est plus ou moins grande suivant les élèves : les processus d'instrumentation dépendent des caractéristiques cognitives des élèves. Cette thèse met en évidence : - cinq profils d'élèves (liés aux métaconnaissances essentielles : l'investigation, le stockage, la comparaison, l'interprétation, l'inférence et le contrôle général sur l'activité) ; - les rapports différents pour chacun de ces types entre les processus d'instrumentation et les processus de conceptualisation. Cette thèse débouche sur la nécessité, pour contrôler les outils, de trois prises en compte : - une prise en compte épistémologique : on ne peut pas parler d'un concept -les limites- sans s'intéresser à son sens ; - une prise en compte technologique : l'intégration des outils de calcul est de la responsabilité du professeur ; - une prise en compte psychologique : l'attention portée aux profils d'élèves est une condition de la gestion de la classe, encore plus nécessaire dans une activité avec instruments.

Le choix de la période 2002-2008 est fondé sur une hypothèse. Cette période correspondrait à un moment de forte évolution, de deux points de vue:
- la thématique des "ressources" a tendance à se substituer à celle des "technologies";
- le travail collectif, en particulier le travail collectif des enseignant sur les ressources, émerge fortement.
Cette hypothèse semble validée par l'étude de la littérature couvrant cette période."

Il en ressort un ensemble contrasté de conclusions, faisant à la fois ressortir les potentialités de ces outils, et les conditions d'une intégration efficace (formation des enseignants, travail collaboratif, situations mathématiques encourageant l'investigation et la mobilisations de registres différents).

Cette étude a été coordonnée par Gérard Kuntz (animateur de l’APMEP et du réseau des IREM) et a bénéficié de contributions de Françoise Carraud (Centre Alain Savary INRP), Thierry Dias (LIRDHIST, université Lyon 1), Viviane Durand-Guerrier (LIRDHIST, univer-sité Lyon 1), Françoise Poyet (Veille Scientifique et Technologique, INRP) et Luc Trouche (INRP et LIRDHIST). Le texte original a été adapté et enrichi pour publication dans ce dossier de la Veille par Jana Trgalova (INRP et LIG) et Brigitte Bacconnier (VST).
L’étude est organisée en sept parties :
• Introduction ;
• Historique de la problématique ;
• Pourquoi la question de l’expérimentation se pose-t-elle de façon insistante aujourd’hui ? ;
• Prescriptions institutionnelles, en France et dans le monde ;
• Exemples de mise en oeuvre, en France et dans le monde ;
• Débats autour de l’introduction d’une composante expérimentale dans l’enseignement des mathématiques ;
• Que révèle l’analyse des expériences menées sur l’apport de l’expérimentation pour l’enseignement des mathématiques ?

Le projet e-CoLab (Expérimentation collaborative de laboratoires mathématiques) s'est donné pour objectifs :
- étudier les potentialités oertes à l'enseignement et l'apprentissage des mathématiques par un nouvel outil, laboratoire mathématique int égrant des applications en interrelation, étudier les stratégies à mettre en oeuvre pour actualiser ces potentialités dans le contexte de l'enseignementfrançais du lycée,
- concevoir des ressources pédagogiques permettant de supporter ces stratégies, concevoir un dispositif permettant de mutualiser ces ressources.
L'équipe de l'INRP qui porte ce projet travaille en collaboration avec les IREM de Lyon, de Montpellier et de Paris 7, Texas Instruments, et interagit avec une expérimentation du même type pilotée par l'Inspection Générale de l'Education Nationale.
Le soutien matériel de la société Texas Instrument a permis d'équiper les classes expérimentales des machines TI-nspire."

- c’est d’abord une occasion d’illustrer les liens entre l’APMEP et le réseau des IREM ;
- c’est ensuite une occasion de « promouvoir » l’engagement et les réalisations des animateurs des IREM… et d’engager d’autres collègues à rejoindre leurs équipes;
- c’est enfin un bon moment pour faire un premier bilan, avec le recul nécessaire et encore dans le feu de l’action : je suis directeur de l’IREM de Montpellier depuis juin 2000, mon deuxième (et dernier !) mandat s’achèvera en juin 2006.

Par rapport à la première saison de eFAN Maths (novembre-décembre 2014), de nouvelles ressources ont été développées, en relation avec les évolutions des programmes d’enseignement (introduction d’éléments d’algorithmique, développement de dispositifs interdisciplinaires).
eFAN Maths s’inscrit ainsi dans les programmes stratégiques de nombreuses institutions éducatives (en particulier la Stratégie mathématiques du ministère français de l’éducation) situant, comme une priorité pour l’école, la maîtrise de savoirs et de compétences mathématiques par tous les élèves, comprenant les mathématiques vivantes dans leurs relations avec les sciences et avec le monde, et visant un renouvellement de la formation des enseignants dans cette perspective.
eFAN Maths repose sur l’engagement actif des participants. Pour cela, il développe un répertoire de projets, construit grâce aux apports initiaux des acteurs. Il propose des outils pour concevoir et analyser des tâches mathématiques, des mises en œuvre en classe et des productions d'élèves.

It has been introduced in the French community of didactics of mathematics in 2007 (Gueudet & Trouche 2008, 2009), then extended at an international level (Gueudet, Pepin & Trouche 2012). It has been introduced as an entry in the Encyclopedia of Mathematics Education in 2018 (Trouche, Gueudet & Pepin 2018). This entry has been updated in 2020 (link for accessing this updated version).
The DAD-Multilingual project (2020-2021), is dedicated to gather and confront the translations of this English updated version towards several languages (Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Turkish and Ukrainian). The set of these translations will constitute a collection in the French HAL Open-Archive.

For preparing this journey, a teacher gathers resources, works on them, enriched in each stage (preparation of a lesson giving matter to a new resource, implementation of this resource in the classroom, adaptation of the resource "on the fly", reflection after the lesson, possible revision of the initial resource... The documentation valise is supposed to bring together both the material necessary to engage in this journey and the material produced by tis journey. Following the methodology of reflective investigation, the researcher accompagnies the teacher, seeking to know what is, or should be, in the valise. The valise such appears as a co-construction of the teacher and the researcher. The journey results in this valise; it results also in teacher development.
