Résumé

"Development" has become a god-term in the thinking and rhetoric of theorists and practitioners of the contemporary arts of politics, economics and education. It points to an area of thought and action which links theorizing and research on the one hand with needed alterations hopefully, improvements - in economic, political, social and educational practices on the other. This mid-ground between basic and disinterested investigations of phenomena and customary and traditional arts of practice is, of course, the domain of technology and engineering. The products of developmental research are technologies, principles and strategies of making, doing and organizing which, on the one hand, are knowledgebased and also are shaped relevantly to the improvement of practice, to the better meeting of unmet or inadequately met human and social needs.
