The aim of this paper is to study the quantitative tools of the research in didactics. We want to investigate the theoretical-experimental
relationships between factorial and implicative analysis. This chapter consists of three parts. The first one deals with the
didactic research and some fundamental tools: the a priori analysis of a didactic situation, the collection of experimental data and the statistic analysis of data. The purpose of
the second and the third section is to introduce the experimental comparison between the factorial and the implicative analysis
in two researches in mathematics education.
