Knowledge synthesis on definitions and operationalizations of the relationship to written language in French didactics
This knowledge synthesis, which covers analysis of 70 research texts, documents the stabilities and instabilities of the “relationship to” associated with objects of written language. Definitions of the relationship to written language are stable, while the operationalization of this relationship and the objects studied for different populations vary according to the texts consulted. Nevertheless, analysis of the research suggests seven aspects of this relationship: social interactions, values, affects, conceptions, knowledge, meta and practices. The emergence of these aspects shows that, beyond the dimensions and the way in which they are named, they can, in whole or in part, serve as analytical tools for any researcher wishing to study this relationship.
