Praxeological Differences in Institutional Transition: The Case of School Algebra

The transition from lower secondary to upper secondary school is a challenging time for many students with algebra as a focal topic. In this paper, we present a new approach to this problem, based on the anthropological theory of the didactic, particularly on what we call praxeological differences b...

Dans cet article, nous proposons une nouvelle approche à l’analyse de ce problème, fondée sur la théorie anthropologique du didactique, surtout ce que nous allons appeler différences praxéologiques entre deux institutions connexes. La méthodologie implique la construction d’un modèle praxéologique de référence pour l’algèbre scolaire, fondée sur des documents provenant des deux institutions, comme les manuels et les instruments d’évaluation, comme les épreuves nationales et les tests diagnostiques. Afin d’illustrer cette approche, nous examinons le cas de la transition entre le premier et le second cycle de l’école secondaire au Danemark. Les résultats obtenus par les élèves aux évaluations font également part des données utilisées, afin d’examiner les connaissances effectives. Les résultats pour ce cas indiquent que la différence praxéologique est principalement concentrée autour des règles de traitement d’un modèle algébrique.

Praxeological Differences in Institutional Transition: The Case of School Algebra
description The transition from lower secondary to upper secondary school is a challenging time for many students with algebra as a focal topic.
