TL;DR: In this paper, a poignee de didacticiens envisage daborder la question de la pertinence, voire de la necessite d’une didactique comparee.
Abstract: A une epoque ou des chercheurs en sciences humaines et sociales font le point sur l’histoire du comparatisme en montrant les avancees decisives mais aussi les difficultes rencontrees par les differentes sciences humaines et les sciences du vivant qui ont recouru au « comparatisme » depuis le dixneuvieme siecle (Jucquois et Vielle, eds., 2000), la modestie est de rigueur lorsqu’une poignee de didacticiens envisage d’aborder la question de la pertinence, voire de la necessite d’une didactique comparee. Methode ou science, l’enjeu comparatiste, tel que traite au cours des dernieres decennies, semble questionner fondamentalement les rapports que les sciences de l’homme entretiennent entre elles ainsi qu’avec les autres sciences (1). Certains (Jucquois, 2000) vont jusqu’a se demander s’il faut « fonder une science du comparatisme » (p. 43). Ce qui semble emerger de facon recurrente des differentes analyses conduites par les chercheurs engages, depuis des decennies, sur des projets comparatistes, ce sont les difficultes et les obstacles (notamment conceptuels et methodologiques) d’une telle approche.

TL;DR: Brousseau et al. as discussed by the authors present le point de depart d'un travail general d'etude de l'action didactique en mathematiques.
Abstract: Cet article constitue le point de depart d'un travail general d'etude de l'action didactique en mathematiques. Il s'appuie sur l'identification des contraintes de fonctionnement des systemes didactiques (chronogenese et topogenese Cheval lard 1991) et sur la description du travail de regulation mene par le professeur (mesogenese et recherche d'un contrat didactique : Brousseau 1997). Il se focalise sur la description de certains elements de l'action d'un professeur pour la course a 20 (Brousseau 1998) afin de proposer un modele de l'action didactique du professeur.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the action of two teachers, on the same content, and they attempt a threefold description, covering different scales of analyses of the teaching processes.
Abstract: This paper outlines some theoretical categories (i.e. the meso-, topo-, chrono- geneses, the “milieu”, the didactical contract and the learning games), providing a model to study mathematics teacher’s action. In order to show what this model brings to the didactical analysis, we present the action of two teachers, on the same content, and we attempt a threefold description, covering different scales of analyses of the teaching processes. To amplify the phenomena that are to be observed, we suggested the teachers include the “Race to 20” situation in their teaching. We expect that implementing an unusual teaching device should lead the teachers to take decisions and explain them more easily than in everyday lessons.

TL;DR: In this article, a contribution se situe dans le champ de la didactique comparee en tant que domaine de recherche en voie de constitution, and particulierement nous allons argumenter en faveur d'une double dialectique for l’etude des phenomenes didactiques « ordinaires ».
Abstract: Cette contribution se situe dans le champ de la didactique comparee en tant que domaine de recherche en voie de constitution. Plus particulierement nous allons argumenter en faveur d’une double dialectique pour l’etude des phenomenes didactiques « ordinaires ». Il s’agit d’une part de la dialectique entre l’explication et la comprehension des phenomenes en jeu et d’autre part de la dialectique – dont nous montrerons la fonction – entre une approche de type clinique et une approche de type experimental. Avant d’expliciter les methodes mises en œuvre, nous allons situer nos objets d’etude, les types de problematiques abordees1 et le cadrage theorique et conceptuel de la didactique comparee dans sa necessaire articulation avec les didactiques des disciplines.

TL;DR: In this article, a survey of didaktischen Ubermittlung is presented, with a focus on personalisation and textualisation. Butler et al. focus on the aspects of the transposition didactique, i.e., personnalisation and contextualization.
Abstract: Les phenomenes de transposition didactique sont centraux dans lÂ’etude des processus dÂ’enseignement et dÂ’apprentissage. Cette theorie, initiee par Y. Chevallard dans les annees 1980, a ete interrogee par les autres didactiques qui ont cherche a lÂ’importer dans leur domaine. Depuis la didactique des mathematiques elle sÂ’est developpee vers une approche anthropologique des pratiques didactiques en poursuivant son programme epistemologique. Cet article, ne dÂ’un questionnement issu de la didactique comparee, cherche a mettre en lumiere certains des aspects fondamentaux de la theorie ainsi que des points aveugles. La question du role attribue aux phenomenes de «personnalisation» et de «contextualisation» est tout specialement discutee dans la perspective dÂ’etudier ce qui se passe, ordinairement, dans les classes du point de vue didactique. (DIPF/Orig.) Die Phanomene der didaktischen Ubermittlung nehmen einen wichtigen Platz in der Untersuchung des Lehr-Lern-Prozesse ein. Diese Theorie von Y. Chevallard in den 1980er Jahren wollten die anderen Didaktiken nach kritischer Prufung in ihre eigenen Fachbereiche integrieren. Ausgehend von der mathematischen Didaktik hat die Theorie sich, ohne ihr epistemologisches Programm zu vernachlassigen, in der praktischen Ausfuhrung in Richtung eines anthropologischen Ansatzes entwickelt. Dieser Artikel ist aufgrund einer Umfrage der vergleichenden Didaktik entstanden und hat zum Ziel, sowohl die wichtigsten Aspekte als auch die Schwachpunkte zu beleuchten. Ein besonderes Augenmerk wird gerichtet auf die Frage der Funktionen der «Personalisation» und der «Kontextualisation» im Hinblick auf Untersuchungen der Didaktik im Schulalltag. (DIPF/Orig.)

TL;DR: The findings indicated that the star teachers are using a variety of instructional approaches that are culturally relevant and aligned with the NCTM’s Principles and Standards for School Mathematics.
Abstract: The mathematics instructional approaches of effective elementary teachers in urban highpoverty schools were investigated. Approximately 99 urban elementary teachers were administered the Star Teacher Selection Interview; a total of 31 were identified as star teachers. These teachers were then administered the Instructional Practices Assessment to identify their mathematical instructional practices and the degree to which they implemented these practices. The findings indicated that the star teachers are using a variety of instructional approaches that are culturally relevant and aligned with the NCTM’s Principles and Standards for School Mathematics. The highest mean ratings were associated with principles and practices related to equity and strong adherence to curriculum standards infused with personal creativity.

TL;DR: The authors used the theory of instrumental orchestration as the main interpretative framework to investigate which types of orchestrations teachers develop when using technology and to what extent these are related to teachers' views on mathematics education and the role of technology therein.
Abstract: The availability of technology in the mathematics classroom challenges the way teachers orchestrate student learning. Using the theory of instrumental orchestration as the main interpretative framework, this study investigates which types of orchestrations teachers develop when using technology and to what extent these are related to teachers’ views on mathematics education and the role of technology therein. Data consisted of videotapes of 38 lessons taught by three teachers, who also provided information on their views through questionnaires and interviews. Qualitative analysis of these data led to the identification of orchestration types and teacher profiles. The orchestration preferences of the three teachers proved to be related to their views. A detailed analysis of one exemplary episode suggests how other theoretical perspectives might complement the theory of instrumental orchestration.

TL;DR: The authors found that students easily solve stereotyped, even unsolvable, problems without any regard to the constraints of factual reality without evincing "realistic reactions" in the classroom.
