Abstract
This article presents a method of curriculum analysis of prescriptions and their educational effects, on the issue of energy transition, and based on the interest of having a robust referent available. The first step of the study was to develop a reference map of the energy transition. The reference map then made it possible to draw up an analysis grid for the prescribed curriculum. The programs examined are those of general and compulsory education. Finally, a corpus from a questionnaire administered to 959 students in their last year of middle school was analyzed in order to report on the efficiency of the study program, using the method of social representations.
