Teaching Philosophy: Challenges and Prospects in the Algerian Academic Setting

Abstract

The mission of universities currently plays an extremely important role in the lives of nations and peoples, regardless of their economic and social development stages. From this perspective, the mission of universities lies in three main functions. The first function is for the university to advance knowledge and disseminate it through education and teaching, providing students with various sciences and knowledge, as well as preparing highly skilled human resources in various disciplines needed by society. The second function is for universities to play a fundamental role in scientific research in various fields and contribute to their scientific and technological applications and development. As for the third function of the university's mission, it lies in serving society through its educational and advisory roles, participating in the provision of social services, public awareness, and strengthening desirable social trends and human values.
