Resumen

From its discovery at school to its professional practice, apprehending a subject matter (be it chemistry or music) lies on four essential poles: the painfulness of the learnings, the pleasure of the practice, the interest of the acquired knowledge and the personal dynamics of the pupil. We will show how the image of chemistry can suffer if one of these four poles is neglected in its teaching, and that this wobble can ultimately and respectively turn it, among our students future fellow-citizens, into a coded theoretical subject matter, a disembodied magical show, an irrelevant field of study and a career out of reach.
