THE EMERGENCE OF THE NEW TECHNOLOGIES IN EDUCATION IN ALGERIA: CASE STUDY ON ENGINEERING SOFTWARE

Purpose- This work aims to situate the introduction of new techniques, in particular Computer Science in educational institutions and Universities. Methodology- The work begins by an overview on the practice of the new technology in some European countries. This is to analyze the European experience and its benefits for to adapt them to the Algerian context. The school and education are not immune to the new information and communications technology: Knowledge transfer is no longer only by the book and the mediation of a teacher, but now goes through audiovisual technology and multimedia. The challenges are twofold: mastering by the student of the new technologies in them cultural and economic context in which they are increasingly present on the one hand; and other hand the diversification of forms of learning in relation with reforms in the education system in Algeria. Findings- The study finishes by a thinking on the causes which delays the emergence of the new technologies in Algeria. After investigations, some remarks and deductions are make.   Conclusion- Significant results were obtained in some universities, particularly the University of Science and Technology Houari Boumediene (USTHB), in terms of allocation of computers and Internet connection. But, it remains to make great efforts in the field of software acquisition, video training and in the computer-aided design.
