The documentational approach to didactics is a young theory – it was less than 10 years old in 2018. In this chapter I look back at the process of development of this approach. I recall the initial context, motivating the elaboration of a specific frame for studying teachers’ documentation work. Several kinds of evolutions are emphasized: theoretical, methodological, but also evolutions of the questions studied in the research works referring to the documentational approach. I conclude by evidencing the main evolutions so far and evoking some perspectives.
