Use of Computer-Assisted Experimentation (CAEx) in Teaching Science in Moroccan High Schools

Computer Assisted Experimentation (CAEx) allows real scientific experiments using a computer, composed of an electronic interface for data acquisition and sensor. The CAEx is a very important area for the use of ICT in experimental sciences. In Morocco, although the Ministry of National Education has equipped almost all high schools with equipment CAEx, studies have shown that CAEx remains little used in the teaching of physics and science and in high schools. Our study aims at identifying the obstacles that still hinder the use of CAEx in the teaching of physics and science in Moroccan high schools. For this, we opted for a survey methodology based on a quantitative-qualitative analysis of the responses retrieved following a specialized questionnaire. The overall results show that the integration of the CAEx encounters several obstacles despite the efforts made by the Minister of Education and Vocational Training.
