  1. A documentational approach of didactics. Roots and dynamics Sør-Trøndelag University College, March 2013 Luc Trouche French Institute of Education, ENS de Lyon

  2. As a beginning…

  3. Plan • Instrumental approach, potential and weakness • Taking into account teacher’s role in orchestrating learning situations • Understanding the true role of teachers in a changing digital world • Crossing theoretical frameworks, towards a documentational approach of didactics • Questions and current research

  4. Once upon a time… A subject An artefact Instrumental genesis • The instrumental approach (Guin & Trouche 1999), motivated by: • The rapid evolution and proliferation of tools in mathematics classroom; • Their influence on both students activity and conceptualisation. • An approach rooted in Vygotski theory (the word artefact situates human activity in a world of culture and history) and in Piaget theory (the notion of scheme). • A developmental approach of learning Instrumentation Instrumentalisation An instrument = a part of the artefact + utilisation scheme

  5. Mains results A subject Artefacts The fruitful notion of system of instruments (from a system of tasks and a set of artefacts) A focus on instrumentation Instrumentalisation: underestimated The unexpected complexity and diversity of instrumental geneses Where is the teacher? Instrumental geneses Instrumentation Instrumentalisation Instruments = part of artefacts + utilisation schemes

  6. Orchestration! The idea of necessary external steering of students instrumental geneses, to help the construction of efficient instrument systems An instrumental orchestration is defined by didactic configurations (i.e., the layout of the artifacts available in the environment, with one layout for each stage of the mathematical treatment) and by exploitation modes of these configurations (Trouche 2004) For the teacher: need for meta artifacts, for new resources (a lot of them provided by Internet)

  7. Understanding the role of teachers in the digital age • Google to know himself/herself • Sesamath

  8. Changes of words, or paradigm shift? • From an instrumental to a documentational approach of didactics, from dialectic artefact / instrument to dialectic resources / document • Taking into account major technological developments • Hybridization with an approach coming from the field of information architecture (Pedauque 2006) and curriculum material (Remillard 2005) • An deeper understanding of concepts as instrumentalisation, geneses, emerging of new concepts (resource systems)

  9. Changes of words, or paradigm shift? • From an instrumental to a documentational approach of didactics, from dialectic artefact / instrument to dialectic resources / document • Taking into account major technological developments • Hybridization with an approach coming from the field of information architecture (Pedauque 2006) and curriculum material (Remillard 2005) • An deeper understanding of concepts as instrumentalisation, geneses, emerging of new concepts (resource systems)

  11. As a conclusion… • Half baked theories as boundary objects (Kynigos) • A "good distance" between theories, provided fruitful crossovers? • Hybridization (crossbreeding) requires successful theoretical reasons to be (= problem solving) and a long companionship • The theoretical diversity as a condition of scientific development • Beyond ... For a plurality of scientific approaches ...

  13. Schematic Representation of Resource system First appointment Discussion of methological tools and agenda of the follow up Guided visit of the resources “Instruction to the double” SRRS Observation of a lesson (videotaped) Interview just before and after Auto-confrontation with the video Back to resources and SRRS Week 2 Week 3 Week 1 Logbook

  14. Individual questions… Interaction Documentation Logbook (CDL) Three teachers collectives IDL Community Documentation Logbook (CDL) CDL CDL Effects on the documentation of a teacher through her interactions with different collectives (Hammoud et al. 2010) One community of practice CDL Student (vs Teacher) Class Logbook (SCL/TCL) SCL TCL Follow up of the design of an online textbook by a Sesamath working group, analysis of the interactions between individual and collective documentation work (Sabra & Trouche, to be published) A class SCL Effects of the joint action of a teacher and her students on her resource system (Aldon 2011)

  15. Collective questions… Interaction Documentation Logbook (CDL) Three teachers collectives IDL Community Documentation Logbook (CDL) CDL CDL Effects on the documentation of a teacher through her interactions with different collectives (Hammoud et al. 2010) One community of practice CDL Teacher Class Logbook (TCL) TCL Follow up of the design of an online textbook by a Sesamath working group, analysis of the interactions between individual and collective documentation work (Sabra & Trouche, to be published) A class Effects of the joint action of a teacher and her students on her resource system (Aldon 2011)

  16. Current research A special issue of ZDM, The International Journal on Mathematics Education: Pepin, B., Gueudet, G., & Trouche, L. (Eds.) (to be published). Re-sourcing teacher work and interaction: new perspectives on resource design, use and teacher collaboration A French-Chinese project, involving Trondheim. French-Chinese Lab for Comparing Curricula in Science Education. Applying this methodology to compare the documentation work of two teachers teaching statistics. A conceptual work, crossing several theoretical approaches, didactics, information architecture, anthropology.
