Abstract

This theoretical article aims to discuss how the emergence and need for a theoretical basis that can look at didactic phenomena with the proliferation of digital technological resources for pedagogical use gave rise to the Instrumental Approach (IA), through the articulation between elements of the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic (ATD) and concepts of the theory of instrumented activity. To this end, focus is given to ATD, developed by Yves Chevallard and collaborators, highlighting the praxeologies, made up of (types of) tasks, (types of) technique, technology and theory. Next, are presented concepts such as artifact, instrument, instrumental genesis, instrumentation and instrumentalization, which are part of the theory of instrumented activity proposed by Rabardel. In addition, the concept of scheme is briefly discussed, as it appears in different theoretical frameworks. Finally, we present and discuss the emergence of IA, proposed mainly by Michele Artigue, highlighting the values of instrumented techniques and the differences between paper and pencil techniques and techniques used in technological artifacts. In this way, the articulation between ATD and the instrumental approach is highlighted, which allows us to understand the integration of technological resources in the school environment and how these objects influence student learning and the work of the teacher.
