The Competency-based Approach: Cognitive Background And Application

Auteurs : Berber Aissa .

Résumé

Abstract: At the beginning of the 20th century, theories began to emerge that sought to organise, simplify and explain the facts of learning, such as behaviourism, introduced by the Russian scientist Pavlov and the American scientist Skinner, and constructivism, based on the structure of cognitive frameworks, of which Piaget is considered the best representative. Then came social constructivism, which paid attention to cultural and social factors, and whose representatives include Bandura and Vygotsky. Then came the cognitivist school, whose proponents invested their research in the previous theories, with Chomsky and Tardif contributing to the educational theorisation of this approach, which was adopted in many countries in the 1980s. The Algerian educational system adopted it in 2003-2004 to support and improve pedagogy. Due to the difficulties in its implementation, it still needs support and a re-examination of the way it is practiced as a method.
