A very important parameter in the evolution of galaxies is the time evolution of the star formation rate. The determination of this parameter is very delicate and it requires the simultaneous use of all the available tracers of young stars (radio continuum Hα, Hβ, UV fluxes). These kinds of parameters are available for some small galactic regions or for extragalactic H II regions and associations in the neighboring galaxies. The present study will be devoted to some associations in the Large Magellanic Clouds. The aim of this work is to determine if star formation happens in a burst, continuously or in an intermediate way decreasing progressively with time. The results of this work suggest for the studied regions, that the star formation process was a burst or a formation with decreasing rate. A constant formation is not consistent with observational data.
