Effectiveness of Real and Computer-Assisted Experimental Activities in Moroccan Secondary School Physics Education

International Journal of Interactive Mobile Technologies (iJIM), Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 17(16), P. 16 - 29

Published: Aug. 21, 2023

Experimental activities are widely recognized as an essential pedagogical tool in physics education that enables students to learn fundamental physical concepts. Experimentation sets apart from other disciplines by motivating learners acquire knowledge, methods, scientific attitudes, and manipulative skills. Most current research focuses on the importance of conventional experimental work learning process or contribution new technologies this without pinpointing experienced limitations hindering two tools achieving objectives for which they were originally designed. To gain a better understanding what these issues are, we have performed survey presented paper. First, analysis investigated challenges impede approach playing its vital role Moroccan system evaluated efficiency original objectives. In doing so, study indicates majority secondary teachers do not achieve required rate due several challenges, including need coaching training, lack coordination between decision-makers practitioners regarding practical use laboratories, shortage necessary materials, maintenance repair laboratory equipment.
