Description
The Bureau International des Poids et Mesures plays a central role in standardizing metrology. Thirty years ago, it shifted its approach to measurement, moving away from the concept of true value and error toward a framework in which a measurement result is represented as a set of possible values. The transposition of the international standard into secondary education is currently underway. In this study, we analyse the official French physics syllabus and corresponding high school textbooks. While curricula fully align with international standards, textbooks often mix the two approaches inconsistently, resulting in a lack of conceptual coherence.
