BACKGROUND: Deep learning is an important outcome of the higher education and is mostly determined by students’ approaches to learning (SALs). The latest version of the Study Process Questionnaire (SPQ) is one of the most used instruments assessing SALs. Many studies from various contexts have either validated or used this famous tool. But none of...

Research in Morocco shows a decrease in motivation and learning of physics subjects for Moroccan middle school students, which negatively impacts their school achievement. The present study aims to identify the effect of using educational robotics on middle school students’ motivation and learning of physics concepts, particularly regarding the con...

This work aims to study the impact of the use of the interactive simulation eduMedia, on the understanding and learning of Moroccan students in the qualifying secondary of the second year of the scientific baccalaureate option physical sciences at the high school Abdellah Laroui of the city of Fez.

The situation induced by the Covid-19 health crisis has urged the pedagogical actors in education and training into an emergency mode of distance education. Previous research conducted during this period of health crisis, showed a major focus on the experience of distance teaching and assessment in both school and university contexts. Nevertheless,...

Within the framework of a research aiming to evaluate the impact of the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in scientific higher education, we carried out a study dealing with 108 Moroccan students (40 males and 68 females) from various institutions of scientific higher education. The objective of this study is dual. It will all...

This study aims to assess the level of understanding of biology students and to identify their misconceptions about cell concepts. Participants of the study (n=160) were students enrolled in biology undergraduate level. Data analysis showed that the students had cell-related misconceptions. The misconceptions were found in four basic competencies o...

Nowadays, the need for e-learning is amplified, especially after the Covid-19 pandemic. E-learning platforms present a solution for the continuity of the learning process. Learners are using different platforms and tools for learning. For this, it is necessary to model the learner for the personalization of the learning environment according to his...

The purpose of this research was to investigate how students’ academic achievement in cell biology can be improved using animation-based instruction. The research adopted a pre-test, post-test and control group quasi-experimental design. The treatment group was taught using a lecture aided by video animation, while the control group utilised the tr...
