Summary/Abstract: This article provides a reflexion on how interdisciplinarity can help thinking current governance changes in education. On the basis of a particular case – the reception in the French policy debate of an international ranking much commented (the Pisa Survey from the OECD) – and thanks to a research device implemented during nine years through two different research studies, it highlights three major contributions of interdisciplinarity: the struggle against simplifying thoughts, the move of the researcher’s focus and the testing of new hypotheses.
