This work aims at diagnosing the Moroccan high school students' difficulties in perceiving and mobilizing the time and space parameters, particularly through the study of the concepts of fossils. To attain our objective, first, an analysis was carried out on Life and Earth Science programs in Moroccan high school. Then, the results achieved by the Nominal Group Technique (NGT) have enabled us to elaborate a questionnaire related to the concept of fossils. These investigation tools affirm that the students have difficulties in assimilating and mobilizing the time and space parameters, particularly while overvaluing the time factor at the expense of the space one, a confusion in the mobilization of the temporal scales and inability to imagine the succession in time and space of the different stages of the fossilization. To reduce the difficulties faced by the learners, we suggest some pedagogical solutions.Keywords: Geology, Fossil, Space, Time, Nominal Group Technique RésuméCe travail a pour objectif de contribuer à diagnostiquer les difficultés des lycéens marocains à percevoir et à mobiliser les paramètres temps et espace en géologie, notamment à travers l'étude du concept fossile. Nous avons effectué une analyse des programmes des Sciences de la Vie et de la Terre (SVT) au secondaire marocain. Puis, en se basant sur la Technique de European Scientific Journal May 2017 edition Vol.13, No.13 ISSN: 1857 -7881 (Print) e -ISSN 1857 304 Groupe Nominal (TGN), nous avons élaboré un questionnaire relatif au concept de fossile. Ces investigations confirment que nos lycéens marocains éprouvent des difficultés d'assimilation et de mobilisation des paramètres temps et espace, particulièrement une survalorisation du facteur temps en dépit du facteur espace, une confusion dans la mobilisation des différentes échelles temporelles ainsi que l'incapacité d'imaginer la succession dans le temps et dans l'espace des différentes étapes de la fossilisation. Pour atténuer les difficultés rencontrées par ces élèves, nous proposons des suggestions pédagogiques.
This work in hand tends to identify the problems encountered by trainee teachers in constructing the concept of fossils. In this respect, the methodology adopted in the light of this research is based on a questionnaire survey. The results obtained allowed us to raise various obstacles most trainee teachers have indeed encountered challenges in identifying the fossil and, most of them do not manage to apply the principle of actualism.
In this work, we try to diagnose the causes of reluctance of Moroccan students' towards the geology. To achieve our goal, a study was conducted on the first year students of the Faculty of Science Dhar El Mehraz. Then a questionnaire was made and administered to professors and first year students. The obtained results revealed that the students' reluctance is mainly due to pedagogical difficulties. Keywords: Geology, LMD, SVT-STU, Students, Reluctance, University orientation RésuméDans ce travail, nous avons essayés de diagnostiquer les causes de la réticence des étudiants marocains vis-à-vis de la géologie. Pour atteindre notre objectif, nous avons mené une étude sur les étudiants de première année de la faculté des Sciences Dhar Mahraz de Fès. Ainsi, nous avons eu European Scientific Journal January 2016 edition vol.12, No.1 ISSN: 1857 -7881 (Print) e -ISSN 1857 221 recours à une enquête par questionnaire auprès des professeurs et des étudiants inscrits en première année. Les premiers résultats obtenus révèlent que ces réticences sont dues principalement à des difficultés d'ordre pédagogique.
