A documentational approach of didactics. Roots and dynamics
Sør-Trøndelag University College, March 2013
Luc Trouche
French Institute of Education, ENS de Lyon
As a beginning…
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
Once upon a time…
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

Mains results
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?

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

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 ...
