The Implementation Of Competency-based Approach In Algerian Efl Classes And The Impact Of Team Work On Knowledge Construction
Résumé: The Competency-Based Approach is highly informed by The Socio-Constructivist Theory. It states that knowledge is to be created collaboratively by students, and it requires the learner to be socially and actively engaged in a group to co-construct knowledge. There is a remarkable shift from what has been settled for years as a traditional way of teaching, in which the teacher is the only provider of knowledge and the learner is regarded as a passive recipient. However, Teaching is no longer teacher-centered but student-centered. The aim of the present study is analyzing why teachers lack full training of Competency-Based Approach‟s key concepts and teachers‟ readiness to confront all the challenges in implementing the principles of the socio-constructivist theory. As well as the extent to which teacher‟s scaffolding can help students develop their skills and reach higher competencies and also lead to the creation of ZPD. The study used a mixed method as a research design. The research approach being used in this research is both qualitative and quantitative. As far as the means of data collection, semi-structured interview questions along with a questionnaire were used to obtain the desired data. These were administrated to five in-service teachers and a one pre-service teacher. The findings reveal that teachers received poor training of CBA which led to serious consequences which affected EFL classes negatively. Teachers are not at all informed neither about the principles of CBA nor about the socio-constructivist theory. It means that teachers are not well trained to confront the challenges they face and they are not well competent. On the other hand, teachers stated that there is a lack of learning and teaching materials, overcrowded classes and lack of motivation among students. All of these obstacles hinder the proper application of collaborative construction of knowledge.
