Résumé

Cet article évalue le manuel algérien de troisième année du secondaire New Prospects pour découvrir dans quelle mesure son contenu favorise l'autonomie de l'apprenant. New Prospects a été conçu conformément aux principes de l'Approche par Compétences qui visent à produire des apprenants compétents non seulement en classe mais aussi dans leur vie quotidienne en dehors de l'école en favorisant la responsabilité et l'autonomie en eux. L'hypothèse sur laquelle le document est basé est que si New Prospects respecte les principes d'autonomie de l'apprenant tels que stipulés dans l'Approche par Compétence, il parviendra à produire des apprenants autonomes. La méthodologie adoptée dans cet article consiste en une grille d'évaluation élaborée sur la base des principes constituant l'apprentissage autonome identifiés dans la revue de la littérature ici. Les résultats obtenus indiquent que «New Prospects» respecte largement ces principes.
