Thực trạng hoạt động giáo dục kỹ năng sống cho học sinh ở các trường tiểu học huyện Bình Chánh, Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh

Abstract

This article presents the study findings on the current life skills education for students at primary schools in Binh Chanh District, Ho Chi Minh City. A survey method was used with structured questionnaires, collecting responses from 80 teachers and 30 school administrators. Data were processed using a 5-point Likert scale. The results indicate that life skills education activities were initially implemented in a relatively consistent manner, especially in areas such as communication, collaboration, and self-care skills. However, several essential skills—such as emotional coping, conflict resolution, and decision-making—have not yet received adequate attention. On implementation, life skills education is mainly integrated into subject teaching and extracurricular activities, but lacks a concrete mechanism for evaluating effectiveness. Teachers’ pedagogical competence in life skills education and the coordination among schools, families, and society remain limited. Based on the survey findings, this article aims at enhancing the life skills education effectiveness in the context of general education reform.
