This research explores the performances of elementary school fourth form teachers in French, according to the content of the national program of elementary school in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Exactly it is about the knowledges in French language and the knowledges in methods and process for a correct transmission of the matter to pupils.The results of this study show that the global achievement has reached the level of 72 %. 122 teachers by 196, to say 62.2 %, have reached the success level fixed at 70 % (UNESCO), and 74 teachers by 196, to say 37.8 %, haven’t reached that threshold.The same results show also that the global achievement is at level of 16.31 % in methods and process. 148 teachers by 196, to say 75.51 %, do not exceed the note of 4/16. The teachers who reach the note of 8/16 or more, are 12 by 196, to say 6.12 %.This study shows at last that the age is the strongest predictor of teachers’ performances in knowledges of French language. It is followed by the oldness in the work. The oldness in the fourth form takes the final position as predictor of teachers’ performances.
This research explores the performances of elementary school fourth form teachers in mathematics, according to the content of the national program of elementary school in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Exactly it is about the knowledges in mathematics and the knowledges in methods and process for a correct transmission of the matter to pupils. The results show that the global achievement has reached the level of 49.48%. 28 teachers by 202, to say 13.9%, have reached the success level fixed at 70%, and 174 teachers by 202, to say 86.1 %, haven’t reached that threshold. The results show also that the global achievement is at level of 14.60% in methods and process. 8 teachers only by 202, to say 4 %, have reached the threshold of 70%.
This study shows at last that the age is the best predictor of teachers’ performances in knowledges of mathematics. It is followed by the professional experience and the school network. The oldness in the fourth form takes the final position.
