Thực trạng quản lý hoạt động chăm sóc, nuôi dưỡng trẻ 5-6 tuổi ở các trường mầm non thuộc Hệ thống Giáo dục Trí Đức, Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh

Abstract

This study assesses the current management practices of childcare and nutrition activities for children aged 5 to 6 years in preschools within the Tri Duc Education System in Ho Chi Minh City. Using a mixed-methods approach via a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire survey, in-depth interviews, and field observations with 170 participants (including 150 administrators and teachers and 20 parents), the study provides a comprehensive evaluation of management aspects, namely planning, organization, direction, supervision, and coordination. The findings indicate that administrators and teachers have a high level of awareness regarding the importance of managing child care and nurturing activities, tasks related to organization, nutrition, hygiene, and safety regularly implemented and ensuring scientific rigor. However, several limitations remain, including disparities among institutions, formalistic inspection and evaluation processes, insufficient coordination between schools and parents, and limited managerial capacity and technological application. Based on these results, the study proposes several directions to enhance management effectiveness, emphasizing the standardization of facilities, professional development for staff, improvement of coordination mechanisms, and promotion of digital transformation in managing care and nurturing activities in preschools.
