Abstract

This study examines the current situation of managing teachers’ action research activities in primary schools in Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City. Four management functions are included: (1) planning; (2) organizing; (3) directing; and (4) monitoring and evaluation. It also analyzes influencing factors. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining questionnaire surveys and semi-structured interviews with 38 administrators and 191 teachers from six public primary schools in Binh Thanh District. The findings indicate that the task of managing action research activities has been implemented “frequently” and achieved a “fairly effective” level across all four functions; however, the effectiveness generally falls below the level of implementation. Subjective factors, such as the competencies and qualities of administrators as well as the collaboration and capacity of teachers, exert a stronger influence compared to objective factors, including the legal framework and socio-economic context. The article addresses the practical realities of this management task in primary schools within the studied area and provides a scientific basis for proposing appropriate management measures.
