Through this study, we are going to explore the importance of mathematization in physics problem-solving according to teachers’ views and observations in the region of Fez-Meknes Morocco. Data collection was based on a questionnaire for 141 teachers. The results obtained have shown. Firstly, physics mathematization problem-solving is important, but the implementation of this situation remains difficult to apply by Moroccan teachers in their classroom practices. Second, professional interaction and pedagogical collaboration among Moroccan teachers on ways to integrate mathematics into physics problem-solving are sorely lacking. Third, the mathematization of problems can influence students' interest in physics.

<span lang="EN-US">This work has its origin in physics learning with secondary school students in Morocco. The present work focuses on the relationship between physics and mathematics as well as the source of difficulties in learning the half-life concept. To highlight our research objectives, the researchers resorted to the nominal group technique (NGT) which is used not only to identify students’ opinions about physics mathematization difficulties but also to assess the scientific education of this discipline. The results obtained showed that mathematics has an impact on Moroccan students’ understanding of the half-life concept. The results also showed that coherent and simultaneous management of physics and mathematics favors the learning of Moroccan students in both disciplines.</span>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
