Introduction
Résumé
This book presents the emergence of a new field of research in mathematics education, which can be described as the study of The ‘Resource’ Approach to Mathematics Education (RAME). In this introductory chapter, we first present how and why this book is inserted within the Advances in Mathematics Education book series. Second, we attempt to characterize the RAME research field and to situate it in the landscape of mathematics education research. The Documentational Approach to Didactics (DAD) plays a particular role in this field; we discuss its links with other theoretical approaches in the third section. Fourth, we evoke the ‘Re(s)sources 2018 conference’, which took place in Lyon in May 2018 and has been a central source for this book. Fifth, we present the content of the book, and finally some perspectives for further research.
