Abstract	The thesis entitled " Observation of general physical chemistry I lessons based on the Competency-Based Approach in L1 LMD classes at UPN and UNIKIN: comparative and interactionist analysis " analyzes the implementation of the Competency-Based Approach (CBA) in the teaching of general physical chemistry I within the Bachelor-Master-Doctorate system , comparing teaching practices at the National Pedagogical University (UPN) and the University of Kinshasa (UNIKIN) from an interactionist perspective . The study is based on direct observation of general physical chemistry I lessons and analysis of teacher-student interactions, drawing on constructivism , social interactionism , and Houssaye 's pedagogical triangle . The results showed that teachers at both universities provide quality teaching and create a climate conducive to learning. Group A (UPN) is distinguished by its pedagogical resources, with teachers recognized as chemistry didacticians . However, the low complexity of the tasks and the partial co -construction of knowledge limit the optimal development of critical thinking and autonomy. The study concludes that the Competency-Based Approach (CBA) promotes active learning and student participation, but that its maximum potential requires contextualized, collaborative, and open-ended activities . These findings provide a solid basis for improving teaching practices and designing training strategies adapted to the requirements of the Bachelor-Master-Doctorate (LMD) system in science education in general, and general physical chemistry I in particular.
