The improvement of initial training and the integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Moroccan education system are among the priority projects for the implementation of the educational reform of the 2015-2030 strategic vision. In this context, we sought to assess the impact of using Google Classroom platform in the initial training of future secondary school teachers of Regional Centre for Education and Training Professions. This study was conducted with a sample of 128 trainee teachers in the Life and Earth Sciences, belonging to three CRMEFs through Morocco. The results revealed that the use of Google Classroom in the context of blended learning could be a promising solution to overcome many challenges related to initial training of future secondary school teachers in our country. Moreover, the use of Google Classroom platform by the trainee teachers has strongly motivated them to use this tool later in their future practices.
The Covid-19 pandemic has imposed the implementation of Distance Learning (DL) system to ensure pedagogical continuity within the Faculty of Education of Rabat. In this specific context, we conducted a survey of 174 students in order to assess the degree of satisfaction perceived by these students at the end of this experience, to identify the factors influencing their satisfaction and to determine their difficulties and suggestions to take them into consideration in future experiences. The results obtained showed that two thirds of the students surveyed were fully satisfied with the distance learning devices operated during the lockdown. A large majority of the students were very convinced that distance education, in parallel with face-to-face education dedicated mainly to tutorials and practical work, could improve university training. On the other hand, this survey has allowed us to identify the main factors that negatively affect Distance Education.
