It also found a possible link to the values held by Moroccan society, which the biology teachers may have unintentionally passed on to students. = Les représentations de la distinction entre normal et pathologique ont été étudiées chez des élèves de l’enseignement fondamental (6ème et 9ème année), de l’enseignement secondaire (3ème année) et chez des enseignants de biologie au moyen d’un questionnaire, suivi par une analyse comparative entre ces 3 niveaux. Les représentations des enseignants ont également été analysées afin de mettre en évidence d’éventuelles corrélations avec celles des élèves. Cette analyse a permis de relever des similitudes et des différences dans ces représentations entre les élèves des différents niveaux et entre les élèves et les enseignants. Les représentations des élèves révèlent des confusions entre le registre ‘normal/ anormal’ et le registre ‘sain/pathologique’ et ne paraissent pas directement en rapport avec les conceptions actuelles des spécialistes de la biologie. En revanche, il semble exister un lien entre des valeurs propres à la société marocaine et les représentations des élèves que les enseignants de biologie pourraient contribuer à entretenir à leur insu. Enfin, une proposition prenant en compte les résultats de cette étude dans la formation des enseignants est suggérée.

Abstract: This article provides an account of the introduction of an Education Management and Information System in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The initiative, led by the Palestinian Ministry of Education, and supported by UNICEF, is described in terms of the educational goals targeted, the usefulness of an EMIS for the rational organization and management of an educational system, and the impact that the availability and sound use of data can have on improving quality provision. The particular political and educational circumstances of Palestine up to the start of the second Intifada in September 2000 are described in some detail in order to better highlight the challenges that had to be faced by the Ministry of Education, and to appreciate more thoroughly the extent of the successes achieved against the odds.
