Teaching Resources and Teachers’ Professional Development: towards a Documentational Approach of Didactics

In this paper we propose a theoretical approach of teachers’ professional development, focusing on teachers’ interactions with resources, digital resources in particular. Documents, entailing resources and schemes of utilization of these resources, are developed through documentational geneses occurring along teachers’ documentation work (selecting resources, adapting, combining, refining them). The study of teachers’ documentation systems permits to seize the changes brought by digital resources; it also constitutes a way to capture teachers’ professional change.
