Abstract

Through this study, we are going to explore the importance of mathematization in physics problem-solving according to teachers’ views and observations in the region of Fez-Meknes Morocco. Data collection was based on a questionnaire for 141 teachers. The results obtained have shown. Firstly, physics mathematization problem-solving is important, but the implementation of this situation remains difficult to apply by Moroccan teachers in their classroom practices. Second, professional interaction and pedagogical collaboration among Moroccan teachers on ways to integrate mathematics into physics problem-solving are sorely lacking. Third, the mathematization of problems can influence students' interest in physics.
