RDST est une revue internationale de didactique des sciences et des technologies, issue de la fusion de deux revues : Aster et de Didaskalia. RDST étudie le domaine de l'apprentissage et de l'enseignement des sciences et des technologies, de la maternelle à l'université, dans différents contextes (scolaires, muséologiques, etc.). Chaque numéro de la revue est composé d'une partie thématique et d'une partie varia elle même séparée en plusieurs rubriques : articles, compte-rendu d'innovation, notes de lecture. La revue s'adresse aux chercheurs en didactique des sciences, aux formateurs, aux enseignants de sciences et de technologies et plus généralement à tous ceux qui s'intéressent la diffusion des savoirs scientifiques et technologiques.
This article analyses the effects of an initial training scheme for trainee physics and chemistry teachers. This system, which uses digital tools, is ultimately aimed at developing the autonomy of the students. We mobilise the concept of didactic praxeology of teachers associated with a grid of seve...
This paper presents and discusses the mains results of a study aimed at evaluating the impact of a training program for in-service primary school teachers on their practices and on the learning of pupils, their motivation regarding science and their view of science. The goal of this program is to de...
Vectors are important in kinematics because the vector of a moving object contains, through its characteristics, some information about the motion of this object. Our work focuses on the ability of first-year university students to manipulate vectors in kinematics and, consequently, their understand...
This research addresses the question of the role of the teacher and the supports mobilized during the management of argumentative debates in classroom. The study is based on the collective development and implementation of a class session with 8-9 year-old pupils. It aims to understand the contribut...
Nul ne conteste la nécessité aujourd’hui de se former tout au long de la vie pour faire face aux évolutions rapides de nos sociétés et à leur complexité toujours croissante. Les enseignants de sciences et de technologies n’y échappent pas, et leur formation conditionne pour partie l’intégration de l...
In the context of disciplinary reconfiguration of computer science in primary schools, this study focuses on the professional development of preservice teachers and on their representations in the field of computational thinking, particularly programming. Coming from three universities of teacher ed...
This contribution aims to characterize by a first exploratory, comprehensive and analytical-descriptive approach the training programs of French teachers of Life and Earth Sciences (SVT) as they appear in 23 of the 27 university model developed during the last reform in 2013. The lexicometric analys...
The purpose of this article is to examine several taxonomies of positions between science and religious belief.

Spécialiste de la didactique de l’éducation scientifique, technologique et professionnelle, Jaques Ginestié a consacré toute sa carrière à promouvoir la recherche en éducation et faire de la formation des enseignants une formation professionnelle de haut niveau en lien avec la recherche en éducation...
This article proposes a modelization of a historical-epistemological-context of the evolution theory conceptual-system: Random-selection-heredity-population. This model can help us to do hypothesis about the necessary conditions to teaching and learning a probabilistic population evolutionist mind i...
In this paper, we present the result of our research into the way preschool pupils perceive the concepts of mass and volume and the way objects act after being submerged in water.

The use of writings produced during scientific activities in preschool is most often directed towards the functions of memorization and communication. However, other uses related to the construction of the pupil's thinking are possible. This article concerns the "instrumental power" of some writings...
The teaching and learning of science in preschool education presents many challenges in a complex context due to the age of the children, their ability to express their ideas in science, and the means available to teachers to access these ideas. This paper proposes to focus on drawing to explore how...
