This contribution concerns the teaching and learning of duality in linear algebra. Combining
an institutional, and a didactic contract perspective we argue that some of the novice …

Novice students at the university encounter many difficulties, linked with the secondary–
tertiary transition. But what does 'transition'mean exactly? We consider it here from an …

In this article we claim that the concept of didactic contract can help to develop a deeper
understanding of the secondary-tertiary transition, in particular by showing changes at three …

In this paper we introduce a link between the Theory of Didactical Situations and the
Documentational Approach to Didactics, in order to study teaching/learning phenomena at …

In this paper, I present my methodological tool for analyzing regular mathematics courses on
calculus and an application of this tool in the transition from secondary school to university …

Teachers manage didactical situations that create and exploit mathematical situations where
practices are exercised and students' mathematical knowledge is developed. The study of …

In agreement with the main tenets of the anthropological theory of the didactic (ATD), this
study uncovers dependencies between what students can learn, the established curriculum …

University mathematics education (UME) is considered, in this paper, as a kind of didactic
practice–characterised by institutional settings and by the purpose of inducting students into …

Teachers manage didactical situations that create and exploit mathematical situations where
practices are exercised and students' mathematical knowledge is developed. The study of …

In this article the concept of the Didactic Contract is used to investigate student
'transition'from upper secondary into university mathematics education. The findings are …
