Abstract:

 


For almost of scientists, the concept of
Evolution occupies a central position in Biology. A few years ago, the topic of
evolution was introduced in secondary programs. The teaching of this topic
still controversial and causes many resistances in Morocco. In this study,
Biology textbooks were analyzed  using
the methods of content analysis. Results show that this topic is treated in the
end of school programs and in most cases the teaching approach is characterized
by superficial handling of key ideas. The treatment of Evolution is too
confusing and abstract, there are a few mistakes and misconceptions, the
visuals are sometimes inadequate. Only equine evolution is studied. There is
lack of reference to the Human evolution in the syllabus as well in all
textbooks analyzed.
