Thực trạng quản lý giáo dục địa phương thông qua hoạt động trải nghiệm cho học sinh các trường tiểu học ở Thành phố Thủ Đức, Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh

Abstract

This study was conducted to assess the current status of managing local education activities through experiential activities for primary school students in Thu Duc City, Ho Chi Minh City, based on a survey of 165 participants, including two groups of administrators and teachers. The results indicate that both groups highly agree on the necessity and urgency of managing local education activities through experiential activities in the context of the current 2018 General Education Program reform. Furthermore, schools have initially established these activities within their educational plans, ensuring alignment with the program goals and local practical realities. However, management work still exhibits numerous functional limitations: planning often lacks systematic organization and flexibility, and is infrequently adjusted; direction and supervision are not thorough. Notably, the tasks of inspection, evaluation, and drawing lessons learned post-activity were rated the lowest. Many teachers reported that educational administrators often only pointed out limitations without clearly analyzing the underlying causes related to management factors such as lack of facilities or resources, and that teacher strengths were not regularly promoted. These limitations suggest that management primarily focuses on implementing paper-based plans without adequate attention to monitoring, supervision, and adjustment during execution, alongside a lack of continuity in mobilizing social resources and professional development for teachers. Therefore, the study recommends that comprehensive solutions are needed for educational administrators to enhance awareness, increase teacher support, effectively mobilize resources, and specifically, to improve the inspection, evaluation, and lesson-drawing process to raise the quality of local education activities management through experiential activities.
