Active pedagogy has become a key element in the learning process of biology. The present work compares the two pedagogies (passive versus active). A study of 100 learners in middle school showed better results. A good acquisition of the skills taught to the learners, as well as a change in their behavior in the classroom were noted. Moreover, motivation, concentration and listening were improved.
The acquisition of the digestive system concepts is still problematic. In this study, we assessed whether 3rd year secondary school learners have acquired and assimilated these concepts at the end of the module. The results we obtained showed that young learners have problems in acquiring these concepts to varying degrees. The role of aliments, the organs and functions of the digestive system, and the phenomena of digestion were relatively acquired by the students. However, the dangers threatening the digestive system and the means of prevention remained unknown for the great majority of these learners. We have also found that learners confused with the digestive system and the respiratory system in some representations.
