"What is the knowledge taught in high school and university? What would applying a sociology of workbased perspective to this knowledge teach us? Rather than follow didactic approaches, or accept from the outset disciplines’ discourses about the knowledge they build, let us consider knowledge as the output of labour, without heeding disciplinary or school level partitions. Let us look at the teachers’ and students’ work, their way of cooperating together in order to define what has to be learned. Let us also look at the work of textbooks editors, inspectors, and school programmes developers. Knowledge is the consequence of the division of labour between these categories. Through their respective actions, they define conventions in teaching and learning of knowledge: in the ways to teach a class, to recruit and to write textbooks. For the students, learning knowledge is, actually, learning these conventions. This thesis draws on a field study carried out in two high schools and one university. In the high schools, the investigated knowledge is Economics and Social sciences, and Physics and Chemistry, and, in the university, the investigated knowledge is Sociology, Physics, and Chemistry. The aim is to elaborate a new perspective from which we will be able to analyse all types of school knowledge, at elementary school, at middle, and high school, or in third-level education, not only as a simple outflow of disciplinary knowledge, but as the product of conventions continually negotiated by the efforts of the different categories of involved actors."
