Abstract

Institutional relations to knowledge objects at the primary school are time-fluctuant and therefore closely linked to the development of institutions. Building up the concept of material implies several sciences and technologies in overlapping epistemological fields. The questions of transposition and appropriation associated to the concept at primary school are a true challenge for the technology educator. This article shows the different connections between the French education and concept formation about materials at the primary school.
