Needs analysis in pedagogical training of higher education teachers in Morocco : comparative study of different approaches
The main point raised by this study concerns the issue of relevance and reliability of methods used to analyze needs of higher education teachers in terms of pedagogical training. A comparative study between two approaches of needs analysis according to, on the one hand, the definition of the concept of need ( drive or gap) and, on the other, the context in which the questionnaire is administered (at distance or in presence) – shows a significant difference in needs prioritization and that this difference depends not only on the definition of the concept of need, but also on the level of explicitness of the questionnaire.
