An Innovative Pedagogy For Enhancing Writing Skills Among Algerian Middle School Students

Abstract

We have very limited data on the impact of innovative pedagogy on the improvement of writing skills. This study aims to explore the effect of innovative pedagogy on the development and enhancement of written production among fourth-year middle school students. To achieve this, we employed an experimental approach (comparing a control class with an experimental class) and used questionnaires as investigative tools.

The results of the experimentation demonstrate that a good application of innovative pedagogy leads to a positive effect on students' writing, making their texts clearer, more structured, and better aligned with the success criteria outlined in the evaluation grid. Analysis of the questionnaires revealed that teachers still have gaps in mastering concepts related to innovative pedagogy, particularly in designing integration tasks. Therefore, significant efforts are needed from various educational stakeholders to enhance the effectiveness of innovative pedagogy.
