In this paper we analyze two approaches to research in mathematics education:" Design-
based research"(DBR) and" Didactic engineering"(DE), in order to study their possible …

We assume that task design-based research refers to any research that is experimentally
based on an educational context and pays special attention to the description, analysis, and …

In what is often called the “French didactical culture,” design has always played an essential
role in research. This is attested by the introduction and institutionalization of a specific …

The aim of this paper is explain how the notion of “study and research course”, a recent
construct in the anthropological theory of didactics, provides a general tool to model …

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 …

In this text, associated with my Felix Klein Medal awardee lecture at ICME-13, I develop a
reflection on the relationships between fundamental research and action in mathematics …

The paper aims at sharing with the reader some remarks on mathematics education
research originating in France which is related to Brousseau's theory of didactic situations …

The notion of didactical engineering has influenced and characterized contemporary
research in mathematics education in France to an important extent. In this paper, we …

This paper discusses the use of the Theory of Didactic Situations (TDS) at university level,
paying special attention to the constraints and specificities of its use at this level. We begin …

In mathematics education, theories of teaching and learning based on disciplines different
from mathematics (“imported” theories) are widely dominating the field. This imbalance …
