Abstract
Science teaching in today’s schools has important scientific implications for attracting students and ensuring continuous, sustainable, and successful schooling, across the different components of the education system. These implications are mainly linked to the development of scientific literacy among all students. The present work highlights the interest of Moroccan secondary school students in physics as an important discipline in the science field. The main objective of this research is to explore the changing interest of these students by identifying environmental education and the mathematization of physics as an important scientific context in learning the discipline. To achieve this goal, we conducted an empirical study among students in the Fez-Meknes region of Morocco. The results showed that exploring the mathematization of physics can develop students’ interest in the discipline. In addition, the engagement of physics with environmental education will influence favorably the students’ understanding and therefore motivation for scientific careers in mathematical modeling of environmental systems.
