Résumé
Pour répondre aux exigences des besoins éducatifs du XXIe siècle en Érythrée, le pays a demandé au secteur de l’éducation de remplacer l’apprentissage passif et la pédagogie didactique par un apprentissage interactif et une pédagogie centrée sur l’étudiant. Conformément aux initiatives de réforme, les programmes de formation des enseignants visent à préparer les futurs enseignants à améliorer la participation de leurs futurs étudiants en classe. L’objectif de l’étude sur laquelle se base cet article était de déterminer dans quelle mesure les éducateurs ont utilisé des stratégies centrées sur l’étudiant dans la mise en œuvre des initiatives de réforme. La méthodologie de recherche adoptée est celle de l’enquête. Un questionnaire basé sur les principes de l’échelle d’apprentissage des adultes a été utilisé pour générer des données auprès de soixante et un enseignants dans deux institutions de formation d’enseignants, à savoir le College of Education de l’Institut de Technologie d’Érythrée et l’Asmara Community College of Education. Bien que l’enseignement centré sur l’étudiant ait été préconisé, les résultats indiquent que les cadres pédagogiques sont fortement empreints d’un enseignement centré sur l’enseignant. En outre, l’étude a examiné la relation entre les styles d’enseignement et les caractéristiques démographiques des enseignants en utilisant une analyse de la variance. Aucune différence significative n’a été trouvée entre les styles d’ens ignement et les divers aspects démographiques des formateurs d’enseignants.
