Abstract EN

The announcement of schools' closure due to Covid-19 pandemic for an undetermined period of time left Baccalaureate (Bac) students in a complete uncertainty as they were surely not prepared for such a situation.

Having an exam by the end of the academic year, Bac students, had to adapt to distance education and its vagaries instead of the habitual face-to-face instruction.

The present exploratory study investigates how both secondary school (SC) EFL Teachers and (SC) FL students have managed to prepare for the Bac exam in the light of the pandemic and distance education as well as the place of critical thinking (CT) in distance instruction.

For that, in parallel with the literature review, the researcher opted for a qualitative approach using questionnaires as research tools, one addressed to 102 3rd year SC FL students and another to 121 SC EFL teachers.

The findings showed that CT is important to distance teaching but distance instruction has a long way to go in the field of education in Algeria.

Abstract FRE

L‘annonce de la fermeture pour une période indéterminée de tous les établissements scolaires à cause de la pandémie du Covid-19 a mis les élèves de terminale dans une situation d‘incertitude car ils devaient faire face aux aléas de l‘apprentissage à distance avant l‘examen du baccalauréat, eux qui sont habitués à l‘enseignement direct.

Cette étude a pour but d‘investiguer et de déterminer la manière dont les enseignants ainsi que les élèves ont procédé pour la préparation au baccalauréat.

Pour ce faire, en parallèle à l‘analyse documentaire, l‘auteur a procédé à une analyse quantitative utilisant deux questionnaires qui ont été respectivement adressés à 102 élèves de 3 ème année filière langues étrangères et 121 professeurs de langue Anglaise du cycle secondaire.

Les résultats de cette étude ont démontré l‘importance de la pensée critique dans l‘instruction à distance mais aussi que ce mode d‘apprentissage a encore un long chemin à parcourir dans le domaine de l‘éducation en Algérie.
