      7 7 See pp. 1–2, note 2: “The term ‘didactic material’ is generally associated with disciplinary knowledge, while pedagogical material would be a priori adisciplinary. This distinction, however, relates more to the intention of the designers and the relationship of the material to the programs of study and to the knowledge to be taught, than to the actual use made of it by the teachers. Indeed, non-disciplinary material can very well be used to support learning of a disciplinary nature, just as so-called didactic material can become an aid used to support motivation or personal and social learning, such as cooperation. As porous as it is, this distinction between pedagogical material and didactic material is nevertheless based on the relationship to disciplinary knowledge. In fact, didactic material, particularly school textbooks, underlies a certain predetermined attribution of function in relation to disciplinary learning. But, irrespective of the end use linked to the design of the material, it materializes in a possibly very different form during the educational intervention of the teacher.”
