L'intégration Des TIC Dans L’enseignement Des Sciences De La Vie Et De La Terre Au Maroc: Etat Des Lieux Et Défis À Relever

Abstract

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are important educational tools; the measures taken to integrate them into the Moroccan education system are multiple. This study was conducted among 181 teachers of life and earth sciences in a large number of establishments (colleges and high schools). This paper focuses on presenting a diagnosis of the reality of the use of ICT in the teaching of the life sciences and earth in secondary school at the national level; identify teachers' perceptions of the real benefits offered European Scientific Journal January 2018 edition Vol.14, No.1 ISSN: 1857 -7881 (Print) e -ISSN 1857 98 by the pedagogical integration of these means in education; and determine, according to the conception of the teachers themselves, the main factors that impede or facilitate the effective and efficient integration of ICT in teaching practice. The results of this research show that there is a limited use of ICT, even though most teachers interviewed are convinced of the richness of pedagogical opportunities created by the integration of ICT in education. Thus, ICT generalization projects in the Moroccan education system should take the main constraints highlighted in this research to integrate the digital age into our schools on a more solid foundation.Keywords: ICT, life and earth sciences, integration, obstacles, teaching RésuméLes Technologies d'Information et de Communication (TIC) sont des outils éducatifs incontournables, les mesures entreprises pour les intégrer dans le système éducatif marocain sont multiples. Cette étude menée auprès de 181 enseignants des Sciences de la Vie et de la Terre (SVT) répartis sur un nombre important des établissements (collèges et lycées), vise à présenter un diagnostic de la réalité de l'usage des TIC dans l'enseignement des SVT au secondaire à l'échelle nationale, à identifier les perceptions des enseignants des SVT des bénéfices véritablement apportés par l'intégration pédagogique de ces moyens dans l'éducation et également à déterminer, selon la conception des enseignants eux-mêmes, les principaux facteurs qui entravent ou facilitent une intégration effective et efficiente des TIC dans la pratique enseignante. L'ensemble des résultats de cette recherche permet de retenir qu'il y a une utilisation limitée malgré que la majorité des enseignants interrogés sont convaincus de la richesse des opportunités pédagogiques induites par l'intégration des TIC dans le travail enseignant. Ainsi, les projets de généralisation des TIC dans le système éducatif marocain devraient prendre en considération les principales contraintes soulignées dans cette recherche afin d'intégrer sur des bases plus solides l'ère numérique dans nos établissements scolaires.

Difficulties in learning biochemistry: Case of 1st year medical students, Tangier

“…The students have suggested some alternative solutions to improve the teaching of this subject, which are the adoption of new teaching methods promoting active learning, the integration of new technologies of communication and information (ICT) the adaptation of the content of this subject with a sufficient time and increase of the sessions of exercises, practical work and remediation. In this context, many researches try to evaluate the impact of the introduction of new pedagogies and the use of ICT in improving the quality of learning (Céci et Nafidi, 2018;Zhou, 2021). Today, pedagogical innovation is more than choice, but a necessity (Hamdani, 2021).…”

Scientific Experiments in Moroccan High Schools Life Science Courses: Constraints and Solutions

“…Finally, the adoption of alternative methods (e.g., Computer-assisted experimentation, mock-ups and software) for ethical purposes and life preservation (S8). These methods can be used in the case of experiments with insufficient conditions of realization or in the case of experiments that are impossible to carry out in a laboratory (e.g., because of extreme time, environmental, or size constraints) (Mahdi et al, 2017;Nafidi et al, 2018). However, the use of these methods would deprive the learner from sensory-motor or manipulative activity (Marzin-Janvier & Kermen, 2015) and would cultivate in teachers a certain habit of ease and dependence on these alternative methods.…”

Pedagogical innovation and the development of 21st century skills and sustainable development in the teaching and learning of life and earth sciences in Morocco

“…There was also a consensus among the teachers surveyed that reinforcing 21 st century skills could be beneficial to the teaching-learning of LES. Indeed, the technology potential can only help them to develop this type of skill and innovate their classroom practices through the use of a panoply of DR types [11], due to the wealth of pedagogical opportunities induced by the integration of ICT into teaching practice in LES [13].…”
