Sumario:This study is aimed to understand the connections between didacticians’ meta-didactical praxeologies for the design and implementation of a teacher professional development program and their documentation work for the program itself. Didacticians are mathematics education researchers with the role of teacher educators. Data presents a case study, in which two didacticians (the authors) generate documents for the work with seventeen in-service mathematics teachers working at the lower secondary level, on inquiry mathematics tasks. The results reveal relationships, not yet fully addressed in research, between the intertwining evolution processes of the didacticians’ meta-didactical praxeologies and their documentation work, nurtured by the collaboration with the teachers. The whole process is led by the evolving goal of the professional development program, from the promotion of the classroom implementation of inquiry mathematics tasks to the broader goal of building an inquiry community with the teachers. This study could contribute to the introduction of an interpretative model for the didacticians’ work for the design and implementation of a teacher professional development program, based on the combination of Meta-Didactical Transposition and Documentational Approach to Didactics frameworks.
