Based on an experience of teaching research methodology in a school of social work, this article aims to concretely explore the conditions enabling the articulation between professional and academic knowledge. The article highlights how the material, temporal, and organizational contexts of training tend to sharpen the opposition between these knowledges. We analyze these tensions through the contradictory injunctions and the difficulties they cause in practice for students and teachers in schools of social work.
