In the educational field, many researchers have studied the role played by the educational software in teaching physics. This review study aims to analyze the use of educational software in the teaching of physics in Moroccan secondary schools between the years 2010 and 2019. The sources for the data collection process were obtained through searches on Google Scholar pages. The analysis of the results allowed us to identify the advantages and disadvantages related to the integration of educational software in teaching physics in the Moroccan context. In addition, the study contributes with a set of recommendations for future use of educational software.

“…In fact, games enhance learners' motivation and autonomy and allow them to develop high-level skills by emerging in complex learning situations [8]. One of the strong points also of these pedagogical tools is the creation of a positive attitude towards the subjects taught [2].…”

“…In fact, a survey on ICT access and usage by households and individuals in Morocco carried out by the National Telecommunications Regulatory Agency (ANRT) in 2015 indicates that games and entertainment represent one of the favorite content types for 57% of Internet users [1]. In addition, among all types of games, video games are the most preferred by 73% of Moroccan learners [2]. Furthermore, the video game becomes an important vehicle for education.…”

Educational video games are being used increasingly in teaching physics. They offer learners a fun and convivial learning environment. However, the use of an educational video game genre that is ill-suited to a type of learning situation or inconsistent with the learners' motivational profile influences the effectiveness of its use in the classroom. In this context, this article deals, on the one hand, with the coherence between the genre of video games and the type of learning situation found in the context of the competency-based approach. On the other hand, it presents the results of a survey to describe the Moroccan learners' motivational profile in video games. The results show that the games should be adapted to each type of learning situation, designed and chosen to meet the learners' interest and avoided when learners are not interested in the genre of the games. It is also pointed out that most of learners prefer to use video games at the level of the explanation of the lessons and the exercises. In light of this research, we have made a number of recommendations for choosing and designing an educational video game.

“…Therefore, the traditional course approach based on traditional methods no longer enjoys of the support of learners that find themselves in passive state when they have many digital resources at their disposal [3]. In addition, a synthesis of recent publications that address the impact of playing games shows that this activity has a positive impact on the learning motivation [6], [7].…”

Nowadays and since the year 2000, the Moroccan educational system like all the other system of educations evolve towards putting more and more emphasis on the Competency-based approach rather than learning contents. Specific pedagogical tool are necessary to develop such competences, especially with the well-known rupture between teaching practices and the digital culture of young people, marked by the increased use of information and communication technologies. Pedagogies that rely on the use of educational games emerged as a solution to change traditional practices .In this sense, we have experimented with the use of educational game circuit warz in a physics classroom .We have restricted its use to the lesson of the voltage divider and we have compared its contributions to those of a classical teaching method .The results found a huge improvement in areas like motivation, engagement and interaction inter-learners.
