Studying Teachers’ documentation work: emergence of a theoretical approach

The documentational approach to didacticsis a recent theory –less than ten years old. In this conference I willlook back at the process of development of this approach. I will recall theinitial context, motivating the elaboration of a specific frame for studying teachers’ documentationwork. Several kinds of evolutions will be emphasized: theoretical,methodological, but also evolutions of the questions studied in the researchworks referring to the documentational approach. I will conclude by evidencingthe perspectives for future research and further evolutions.

L’étude du travail documentaire des professeurs: émergence d’une approche théorique

L’élaborationdu cadre théorique de l’approche documentaire du didactique a débuté récemment,il y a une dizaine d’années. Dans cette conférence nous reviendrons sur cetteémergence. Nous rappellerons le contexte initial qui a motivé le développementd’une théorie spécifique pour l’étude du travail documentaire des professeurs.Nous nous attacherons à mettre en évidence les évolutions des principalespropositions conceptuelles et méthodologiques, ainsi que des questions étudiéesdans les recherches se référant à cette approche. Ce regard sur les évolutionspassées de l’approche documentaire nous permettra de mettre en évidence lesperspectives ouvertes actuellement.
