Abstract

The cultural context of speech communities represents people’s life experiences shaped by region, geography, ethnicity, language, and values; all these contribute to the construction of one’s identity. Our study explores the complex reciprocity between the socio-cultural environment and the learners’ identities. The cultural background of learners profoundly affects self-perception and identity construction. Simultaneously, identity construction has a reciprocal effect on interaction and involvement with cultural heritage. Hence, we investigate the impact of rural communities’ cultural repertoire on the personal and professional prospects of learners. To reach this end, third-year pupils from the High School of Sidi Housni, Tiaret, Algeria were selected using a non-probabilistic sampling. We collected data through a survey and an observation, employing both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The findings reveal that the cultural background influences learners’ perceptions of the world, besides their positive divergent attitudes towards gender roles. Furthermore, these valuable insights have important implications for cultivating a more inclusive and flexible learning setting. In a nutshell, divergent and convergent communities possess distinct qualities and resources that collectively foster a gradual transition toward embracing change.

Abstract

Success at university requires achieving a high degree; however, after university, it is perceived through the achievement of financial satisfaction. This investigative work examines the students perspectives of their professional careers after graduation from university. Our objective is to see the extent to which students are prepared to insert in the professional life. A questionnaire is used as an instrument in this enquiry to fifty five students at the University of Ibn Khaldoun- Tiaret. The results reveal that students are not fully qualified to take part in the state service and they fear unemployment due to the lack of job opportunities, the latter is believed to be caused by the large number of university graduates. For this, reviewing the admission of students at university is compulsory, that is to say, reducing the number of bachelors by accepting only competent learners and then providing a job opportunity for each graduate respectively on the basis of their potential.
