Abstract [en]

In this paper we discuss connections between two teaching contents inSwedish upper secondary school programs in vocational education; mathematics andvocational content. Simultaneously, we challenge a dichotomous understanding oftheory and practice, while paying an interest in connections between the two. We haveadopted the framework of praxeology by Chevallard. Through analysis of empiricalexamples, we illuminate how, for example, theoretical aspects may derive from bothmathematics and vocational content, challenging mathematics as mainly theoreticaland vocations as only practical.

Abstract [fr]

Dans cet article, nous discutons des liens entre deux contenusd'enseignement dans les programmes d'enseignement secondaire supérieur suédoisdans l'enseignement professionnel; contenu mathématique et professionnel.Simultanément, nous contestons une compréhension dichotomique de la théorie et dela pratique, tout en portant un intérêt aux liens entre les deux. Nous avons adopté lecadre de praxéologie de Chevallard. En analysant des exemples empiriques, nousmontrons comment, par exemple, les aspects théoriques peuvent découler à la fois ducontenu mathématique et professionnel, remettant en question les mathématiquescomme étant principalement théoriques et les vocations comme étant uniquementpratiques.
