This study aims to study the perceptions of students regarding the importance of soft skills. Many studies have recently focused on "soft skills" in the labor market, that is to say, non-cognitive skills, particularly in relation to life skills, knowing how to become and knowing how to have, which could influence the employability of future students seeking employment. From a study on a sample of 400 students enrolled in the third year of college in two faculties: the Faculty of Sciences Ben M'Sick (FSBM) of Casablanca, and the Faculty of Sciences Ain Chock (FSAC) of Casablanca, we built a general idea on the opinion of the students of science branches in the university concerning soft skills, we identified the most important soft skills according to their perspective, with various educational institutions' pedagogical methods; their relevance and impact in deve...

This textual study allowed us to identify four different postures in all our analyses. Firstly, the time allocated to accompaniment: moving from permanent to periodicals. In the second place, it is about the space where the exchanges between the person being accompanied and the accompanier take place: from proximity to distance in exchanges. On the theoretical level, the aim of this article is to propose a qualitative model through four postures of accompaniment in training and education. On a practical level, it also aims at clarifying the specificities of these four postures, the typical tools of their exercises, the expected effects and the conditions of their application and, finally, the limits of their adoption in different contexts. The relevance of this work is the prescription of a progressive approach on a set of characteri...

In this study, we examine the effect of e-assessment on students' cognitive engagement. By employing a quantitative approach, we conducted a survey using questionnaires to gather data from 41 students in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at Hassan II University in Casablanca and 105 students' teachers from the El Jadida regional center for education and training. The main aim of this study is to demonstrate the influence of e-assessment on students' cognitive engagement. The participants were divided into two groups: the first group included 41 students from the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, with 20 students participating in the traditional paper-based assessment and 21 students undergoing e-assessment through the Kahoot platform. The second group comprises 105 trainee teacher students from the regional center for education and training professions in El Jadida, with 65 students undergoing paper assessment and 40 students undergoing e-assessments. Our questionnaire assessed the impact of e-assessment on participants' cognitive engagement. The Cronbach's alpha value was 0.959 for the first group and 0.982 for the second group. According to the results of the study, e-assessment influences cognitive engagement. However, students subjected to traditional paper-based evaluations show less commitment and involvement in courses.

Educational success remains strongly correlated with social background. The principle of equality among students, who are supposed to receive the same education regardless of their individual and family characteristics, is undermined by the exclusion mechanisms at work in Moroccan schools. Loosening the link between the inequalities of students' social origins and their academic and social future was one of the major missions entrusted to the university. In the Moroccan education system, the growth and reproduction of inequalities are one of the factors contributing to the education crisis. In a purely sociological approach, our study analyzes, through a questionnaire survey, the socioeconomic and cultural status (financial income and parents' educational levels) of students at the Faculty of Sciences Ben M'Sick (FSBM) in Casablanca, which is geographically located in an environment surrounded by working-class neighborhoods. The results obtained in our study attest that the social and cultural heritage of the parents transmitted to their children (students of the faculty) had effects on social reproduction, as well as the strong implication of the social origin in the learning process.

This observation led us thereafter, to design a collaborative method of problem solving by algorithms, to bring more efficiency to teaching practices in graduate studies. Indeed, by forming a small groups of students, the teacher establishes an algorithm which he will follow during a whole activity, proposes to each group problems of variable complexity, then, he returns each time to the progress of this algorithm, in order to observe the progress of the work entrusted to the students groups. After integrating the method, observation grids and results from questionnaires, intended for an example of 70 students of the second year of Chemistry of Materials Science, at the Ben M’sik Faculty of Sciences in Casablanca, showed that the subjects are motivated by the method, and that the work within the group helped them to improve their learning. On the teacher’s side, the choice of method has positively influenced these practices, particularly for the management of time and space in his teaching.

Students' assumed indexed socioeconomic status (SES), based on educational attainment, parental occupation, or family income, is a predictor of academic outcomes. The implementation of interventions that reduce the achievement gap in SES can face significant ideological barriers. The purpose of the study is to compare the effect of students'' social backgrounds at the two institutions (public/private) on academic outcomes. Following a purely sociological approach, the comparative study analyzes, through a questionnaire survey, the socioeconomic and cultural environment of the students of two Moroccan universities: (1) the Faculty of Sciences Ben M''Sick (FSBM) of Casablanca, a public institution, and (2) a private institution located in the same city but geographically in an advantaged neighborhood. The results obtained attest that the social and cultural heritage of the parents transmitted to the students has effects on social reproduction, as well as the strong significant implication of the social origin in their learning process.

Furthermore, learning about chemical bonding allows the learner to make predictions and provide explanations regarding the physical and chemical properties of substances. However, chemical bonding has been cited as one of the most difficult chemistry concepts for many secondary and higher education students to understand, and therefore, teachers can find it difficult to teach this concept due to the complexity of the underlying theory as well as the need to use abstract models to represent chemical bonds. The teaching methods used in the implementation of the concept can also be challenging. The aim of this study is to reveal the difficulties and alternative conceptions encountered by Moroccan secondary school students when learning concepts related to chemical bonding, the main causes of these difficulties, and the strategies us...

Because of the abstraction aspect, students find it difficult to understand this topic. The aim of this study is to improve students' motivation, engagement, interaction and school results by integrating interactive simulations into the teaching-learning process of chemical bonding concepts. The study was conducted in a secondary school in the Kingdom of Morocco, with a sample of 56 students in the qualifying secondary education cycle. The sample was divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group is taught using more molecular models PhET simulations, while the control group follows the traditional teaching method. Using a quantitative research method with a pre- and post-test design, and an observation grid measuring students' motivation, engagement and interaction before and after the ...

This has allowed us to take advantage of the functionalities offered by information and communication technologies to improve learning experiences. This research aims to explore the motivation and performance of nursing students in the flipped classroom compared to the traditional method. Methods: This pre-experimental study was conducted on a single group pretest-posttest with twenty students using two distinct teaching methods (the traditional method and the flipped classroom) in the community health planning course. In pre-test and post-test, motivation and performance scores were calculated, respectively, from the motivated strategies for learning questionnaire and the results of the performance tests. Pretest and posttest scores were compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: The findings showed that the motivation scores of all students (n=20) were positively improved in the flipped classroom compared to the traditional method. Specifically, extrinsic goal orientation (p=0.021), control beliefs (p=0.019), and self-efficacy for learning and performance (p=0.016) were the motivational subcomponents that were significantly improved. However, intrinsic goal orientation (p=0.055), task value (p=0.866), and test anxiety (p=0.6) did not show a statistically significant. On the other hand, student performance was significantly improved in the flipped classroom (14.4±2.57 vs. 17.7±1.28, p<0.001). Conclusion: This innovative approach is an essential alternative for improving the quality of nursing education.
