Abstract:

 While numerous global studies have examined difficulties in learning homeostasis, there has been a notable lack of attention to this issue within the Moroccan educational context. Serving as a preliminary exploration, this study aims to examine Moroccan teachers' perceptions of students' difficulties in learning homeostasis and its role in maintaining the proper functioning of an organism. To do so, a sample of 87 Life and Earth Sciences high school teachers completed an online questionnaire. The research findings indicate that most teachers confirmed the difficulties faced by high school students, in understanding the concepts of "feedback" and "homeostasis in the whole body." To overcome these issues, teachers proposed the following: Increasing the time amount allocated to this unit, starting with fundamental ideas related to the hormonal and nervous systems, which are covered in middle school, and incorporating Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools into the teaching of homeostasis among others.
