Evaluation of Learning in the Teaching of Social Sciences according to the LMD System of Moroccan Higher Education Institutions: A Comparative Analytical Study

Abstract

This research paper examines the humanities and social sciences in terms of the challenges they present in terms of the methods and approaches to teaching them within the university pedagogy adopted and followed in higher education institutions. Specifically, it attempts to address the issue of assessment related to the teaching of these sciences as it is presented in Moroccan universities, compared to Western universities, particularly those with a French orientation, such as the University of Montreal in Quebec or Paris 7^th University. This is achieved by highlighting a general context primarily linked to the problems and obstacles inherent in the didactics of social sciences themselves, and the issues they raise concerning teaching and assessment that is, according to what purposes, what programs, what pedagogies for what needs, and who are the stakeholders involved, etc. In conclusion, it found that the Moroccan university did not benefit fully from this system, known as LMD, and called for the adoption of several recommendations and proposals, most notably changing teaching methods, adopting evaluation standards, keeping pace with scientific development and increasing communication among members of the academic community.
