title: [About the pedagogic use of images].
abstract: Pedagogic use of images is relatively frequent, but not always in a right way. Images must correspond to the internal logic of the course, and the teacher must realize their analogical value, and must know the singularity of their language. They can transmit the three types of knowledge: declarative, procedural and conditional and they are also characterized by a metacognitive and affective value. Their use can be confronted with the problems of spatial orientation, which are frequently encountered in our students. The conditions of images availability are critical and must be guided by a didactical logic. In particular, on-line consultation of complex images which require a interpretation key can reveal harmful. The sequence and the progression of image presentation are also very important.
