Are Educational Games Engaging and Motivating Moroccan Students to Learn Physics?

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

The Use of Educational Software in Teaching Physics in the Moroccan Context

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
