This paper examines the teaching techniques most commonly applied in professional practice, with particular focus on the lecture method and practical work. The study highlights that the lecture method remains widely used due to its ability to convey a large amount of information efficiently to large groups and its pedagogical flexibility. However, this method has notable limitations, including learner passivity, limited consideration of individual differences, and weak development of practical skills. Practical work plays a crucial role in the teaching-learning process by promoting the practical application of knowledge, the development of technical skills, learner autonomy, critical thinking, and creativity. It also enables teachers to better assess students’ actual levels of understanding. Despite these advantages, practical activities face several challenges, such as unequal participation in group work, insufficient student engagement, and material constraints. The study concludes that an effective teaching strategy requires a balanced integration of lecture-based instruction and practical activities, particularly in professional and technical education contexts.

This study examines parental behaviors toward adolescent drunkenness in South Kivu Province, with a focus on the city of Bukavu (Democratic Republic of the Congo). Adolescence is a transitional stage characterized by significant biological, psychological, and social changes, which often expose young people to risky behaviors such as excessive alcohol consumption. This phenomenon affects not only adolescents but also family stability and social cohesion. The main objective of this research is to identify parental attitudes and responses to adolescent drunkenness, analyze the consequences of these behaviors on adolescents’ development, and propose educational strategies adapted to the local socio-cultural context. The study employs a descriptive and analytical methodology, using documentary analysis, interviews, questionnaires, and field observations. An occasional sample of 1,200 respondents from different social categories was selected. The findings reveal that although most parents possess general knowledge about adolescence, their reactions to drunkenness range from tolerance and neglect to imitation of parental drinking behaviors and the use of coercive measures. These parental attitudes contribute to negative outcomes such as persistent alcohol abuse, school dropout, juvenile delinquency, early sexual activity, and strained parent–child relationships. The study concludes by emphasizing the need to strengthen parental education, promote family dialogue, and implement community-based awareness programs to prevent and reduce adolescent drunkenness.
