Didactical design in mathematics education
Résumé
This paper, which results from a lecture given at NORMA08, proposes a reflection on the idea of didactical design, using the notion of didactical engineering as a specific lens. It is structured into three parts. In the first and introductory part, we point out the increasing attention paid to design issues in mathematics education, and some of its internal and external sources. In the second and main part, we come to the notion of didactical engineering analyzing its emergence in French didactical research, its development from the early eighties until now, and its influence on didactical design at large. In the third part, we extend the reflection by considering the way design issues are approached in the anthropological theory of didactics. (https://www.sensepublishers.com/files/9789087907839PR.pdf)
