EDUCATIONAL DEMANDS AND LEARNING PARADOXES IN ENNADJAH SECONDARY SCHOOL, SIDI BEL ABBES: THE CASE OF THIRD YEAR LEARNERS

Abstract

Starting from the fact that we are teaching an individual about whom we know only slight information. Also the teaching learning process is getting more and more complex, in between, the learners' needs and compulsory academic achievements. Moreover, our learners' minds are being influenced by various imported models due to the speedy progress of communication and economic means. My choice has fallen on pupils of Ennadjah Secondary School for the following reasons: I have been working in that school since 1993, I could gather an interesting knowledge about different pupils backgrounds, I could practice many experiments in the form of classroom discussions, theatrical performance from 1996 to 1999, various situation-specificities observation and analysis, considerations that the 1990’s (Black Decade) have brought both teacher and learner under conditions of permanent change and logical rise to develop mental viewpoints: my work will be divided into 4 chapters: Chapter one will be devoted to the purely theoretical aspect of my work, the Algerian teaching setting as well as the various methods I used to collect my data-bank. The second chapter will be concerned with the analysis and interpretation of all the gathered information. Then, chapter-three, a confrontation of both theory and practice: which factors encourage learning and which ones impede it? Whereas, the fourth chapter will be helpful in terms of dietetic recommendation and pedagogical suggestions. To conclude, I will attempt to demonstrate how can an adolescent learner reach a good school achievement if he is not provided with both moral and physical factors appropriate to such a vital operation.
