The Competency-Based Approach in the Algerian Secondary School Case Study: Third year pupils at Lac Karrar secondary school in Remchi

Abstract

Many countries around the world have undertaken new reforms that have disrupted education systems in order to create harmony with the challenges and requirements of a globalized world. In Algeria, an educational system known as Competency Based Approach has recently been adopted to improve the quality of education by pushing learners to take responsibility for learning by being separated from their teachers, but rather the basis and centre of the teaching and learning process. Data collected from the aforementioned research tools have been analyzed in quantity and quality. Triangulation of results revealed the unwillingness of learners or teachers to adapt their teaching practices to the principles and objectives underlying competency-based education. Accordingly, this research confirms that mastering the theoretical and practical foundations of an in-depth analysis of Algerian education is crucial for achieving the objectives of Algerian educational reform.
