This chapter concerns the use of digital resources by kindergarten teachers. It presents a three-year study, using the theoretical perspective and the methods of the documentational approach. We focus on the case of an experienced kindergarten teacher, Mia, and on her teaching of numbers. At a micro-level, we investigate the evolutions of a documen...

This publication brings together the work of the project partners of the ERASMUS+ Project TEST. It provides a theoretical background to what inquiry-based learning in science means, as well as provides in-depth discussion of its implications to classroom practice. It tackles practical issues such as language use, how to introduce problems, managing...

Le cadre d’analyse des situations de formation utilisé dans cet atelier (Mangiante & al., 2016) vise à interroger les potentialités de ces situations à la lumière des savoirs mathématiques, didactiques et pédagogiques en jeu (Houdement, 2013), et à clarifier les enjeux dans les différentes phases de la mise en œuvre ainsi que leur articulation. Il...

In this paper, we study the question of integrating technology in the teaching of mathematics in kindergarten by considering the theoretical framework of documentational approach. We present a case study concerning the integration of a software that introduces numbers as a consequence of quantity measurements. We question teachers’ documentational...

In this chapter we study the use of software by kindergarten teachers in mathematics, with 5 or 6-year-old students. In most countries (our study takes place in France), technology is not much used in the teaching of mathematics at kindergarten and primary school levels. Analysing the conditions, and factors, influencing its use in class is likely...

Nous nous intéressons aux ressources destinées aux professeurs des écoles et à leurs formateurs. Nous abordons des questions du type :- Quelles évolutions dans les ressources disponibles pour les professeurs ? Pour les formateurs ? On s'intéresse en particulier aux ressources numériques et à l'articulation entre ressources numériques et ressources...

Ce chapitre porte sur les usages de bases d'exercices en ligne par les professeurs enseignant les mathématiques, dans le premier comme dans le second degré. Cet objet d'étude nous a amenées à des développements théoriques et méthodologiques. Sur le plan théorique, il s'agit de prolonger l'approche instrumentale, issue de l'ergonomie cognitive, à l'...

La didactique des mathématiques et d'une façon plus générale la didactique se construit dans une tension entre des élaborations liées à des cadres théoriques et les réalités de l'enseignement d'une discipline. L'école d'été de didactique des mathématiques qui s'est tenue à Clermont-Ferrand en août 2009, a permis de (re)visiter cette tension et ses...

The long-term objective of our research is to develop the instrumental approach for teachers. A first step, presented in this paper, is to observe stable behaviours of teachers using internet resources in mathematics. We retain the scenarios as indicators of the genesis processes. We propose a scenario taxonomy taken from categories elaborated by c...

These guidelines constitute the deliverable 5.2 of the Mind the Gap project. This deliverable is strongly connected with deliverable 5.1 (literature review about ICT and IBST): we drew on the results of the literature review to build criteria for the analysis of on line resources. These criteria and their use to analyse some examples of on line res...

The study we present here concerns the consequences of integrating online resources into the teaching of mathematics. We focus on the interaction between teachers and specific online resources they draw on: e-exercise bases. We propose a theoretical approach to study the associated phenomena, combining instrumental and anthropological perspectives....

Many research works in science education have studied these issues. We do not intend here to make an extensive presentation of the literature (and certainly could not, because of the number of articles, books, conference proceedings mentioning this topic). We have tried to identify the main directions and questions, the current evolutions and the p...

Notre recherche tend à expliciter les contraintes et les conditions qui pèsent sur le passage du contenu du programme d’enseignement à son enseignement effectif dans la classe pour un objet de savoir donné, l’arithmétique de terminale S spécialité mathématique. Pour ce faire, nous distinguons trois niveaux dans ce processus de transposition : savoi...

This paper presents an analysis of teachers' activity according to a double point of view: an institutional analysis in terms of constraints and space of freedom, and an analysis of classroom practices in terms of mathematical and didactical organizations, and in terms of a study of teachers' discourse. Key-words: arithmetic; teachers' practices; t...
