Abstract
Evaluation is a task of great importance in the service of the teaching/learning that allows us to check whether or not specific educational objectives have been achieved.Currently, with the emergence of active pedagogies, according to several points of view, new challenges have emerged other than simply assessment. As far as Moroccan education is concerned, assessment focuses on the level of mastery of specific skills on the part of learners at the beginning, during and at the end of the year, as well as at the end of each period of learning.Our present research is interested in the taking into consideration the evaluation of experimental skills in the physical sciences as part of the Moroccan educational system.To be able to check the hypotheses that have been advanced in our study, we developed a questionnaire that was distributed to a sample of physics-chemistry secondary school teachers in Morocco.The majority of the teachers in our sample have reported several constraints, including a lack of material necessary to plan and implement the work practices needed to provide an adequate education in terms of experimental activity in the field of physics-chemistry.
