La croissance massive des effectifs universitaires et, simultanément, les taux élevés d'abandon ou de réorientation lors de la première année d'études supérieures interrogent sur les modalités de l'entrée à l'université. Si des travaux récents ont affiné la connaissance générale des conditions d'études et de vie de la population étudiante, peu se sont centrés sur les débutants pour tenter de restituer les différentes facettes de leur expérience. Telle est la perspective de cet article qui s'attache à développer une approche transversale de l'entrée dans la vie étudiante et privilégie les relations entre formes d'apprentissages et vie sociale parmi les bacheliers arrivant à l'université.
This study reports high school teachers' and students' goal conceptions for the teaching of physics and chemistry. It shows both the ambivalence of the underlying choices and the gap between students' and teachers' conceptions. A majority of teachers holds to the logic of the discipline (physics or chemistry), they teach science for itself (discipline as object). Students, however, express a preference for science teaching that focuses mainly on the social uses of science (discipline as instrument).
