The impact of the teacher-centred pedagogy on today’s learners in Algerian schools

Abstract EN

The teacher-centred pedagogy is still in use in Algerian schools although most of today’s learners tend to reject it, whether intentionally or unintentionally, because it is linear autocracy-based, and represents the pedagogy of the oppressor, and the autocrat.

In addition, this pedagogy is against human nature that rejects all kinds of oppression and autocracy.

It is a pity that this autocracy-based pedagogy is still implemented in our educational institutions.

The present paper attempts to discuss the impact of this old-fashioned pedagogy on today’s students with reference to our educational system and invites all teachers in general and Algerian teachers in particular to put aside all their old practices related to yesterday's pedagogy and embrace today’s democracy-based pedagogy which creates an environment conducive to effective learning where students can meet their needs
