Cooperative engineering as a specific design-based research

In this paper, we first describe what are the main constituents of what we term cooperative engineering, between teachers and researchers, from an epistemological and theoretical viewpoint. We show that this kind of research tries to dilute the ancient dualisms of Western Thought, and we present some features that may contribute to specifying cooperative engineering within the general paradigm of design-based research. In the second part of the paper, we give an empirical account of such a process of engineering at primary school level in mathematics, by focusing on the co-elaboration, between teachers and researchers, of learning sequences at kindergarten (the Treasures Games, situations of graphical representations) and at grade 1 (The Arithmetic and Comprehension at Elementary School program, building of basic numerical capacities). At the end of the paper, we briefly elaborate on what we consider to be major issues relating to cooperative engineering.
