بين المقاربة بالكفاءات و النظرية البنائية لجان بياجيه

Abstract EN

The educational system in Algeria has been subject to many reforms, which have contributed to the advancement of teaching and learning.

One such reform is the adoption of new approaches; moving from approaching content to approaching goals and finally to approaching competencies.

The competency- based approach is considered as an alternativeto all previous approaches.

It seeks to fill the gaps that the traditional approaches have left in the system.

It calls for the control of the nowadays pedagogy, such as the difference prdagogy and pedagogical support and the like.

CBA has emerged as a result of a conflit between two educational theories, structuralism led by the swiss scientist Jean Piaget, and Behaviorism headed by the scientist waston and the Russian scientist Pavlov.

In which structuralism emphasizes that the learning system with all its components are interrelated and cannot stand in isolation, while Behaviorism binds learning to the stimulus-response concept.

Therefore, the main aim of the current study is to reveal the relationship between CBA and structuralism.

Moreover, it attempts to answer these questions: what is CBA? what is new about this newly adopted approach? and finally, what does it have to do with the constructivism theory.
