| Abstract |
|
In 1985, I wonder whether the "school" approach to experimental sciences was suitable for its goal, making secondary school students aware of science, when the National Centre for Scientific Research and the Department of Education created a joint venture called Passion-Research. Its harmonious functioning led to three main consequences: A complex multidisciplinary approach, which involves the parti-cipation of nonscience teachers, a wide range of topics, the opening of the high schools to the outside world, and publication of the experimental data; Further training for some teachers by the researcher; An evolution of the joint venture to a change in the teaching of chemistry. I tried to "introduce some science in the humanities" and at the same time "introduce some science in a technical section". The idea was to make the students active participants to make them do a true rsearch project. They saw that their work could be related to the work of the researcher at the university and that chemistry studied during lectures with the teachers could be applied directly in their scientific work. The introduction of the concept of scientific doubt was new and the continuity of culture was provocative since teaching is still separated into many different topics.
