ICT Impact on Learning and Teaching Practices: Concept of Phagocytosis in Biology

Everyone is aware of the considerable pedagogical interest and the important role of information and communication technologies for education (ICT). They have a transversal and generalized use for teaching / learning processes. Therefore, it is important for Morocco to integrate them into a pedagogical system to become didactic tools. In order to carry out this research, we have developed a pedagogical scenario integrating a digital resource called RN. Yes16 to evaluate the impact and degree of acquisition of the notion of phagocytosis in biology and, for this, we have implemented an anonymous questionnaire survey and observations as investigative tools for data collection. The samples of this work are students of experimental science department, 2nd year Baccalaureate degree Students. The main results of the questionnaire related to the use of the digital resource RN. Yes16 on learning showed that: 95 %, 85 % and 70 % of the pupils have correctly answered respectively the questions related to the characteristics, stages of phagocytosis and the types of cells mainly participating in this phenomenon; 90 % of students find that the use of ICT in the classroom increases their motivation for learning as well as concentration; 80 % of the students have constructed their knowledge and know-how individually after the session through using RN. Yes16 and therefore facilitated their storage and recall of learning; 20 % of students find that the use of ICT by their teachers disrupts the learning acquisition process; 25 % of students could not hand back the copies on time given to this questionnaire, which reveals their mismanagement of time and the inability to concentrate for some. In conclusion, the integrated digital resource has been able to improve the teaching-learning conditions and has allowed students to acquire the notion of phagocytosis in a well-illustrated way.
