According to Section 6 Appendix of the General Education Program issued together with Circular 32/2018/TT-BGDDT, the orientation for educational methods, and evaluation of educational results in the primary level general education program are as follows:
(1) Orientation for Educational Methods
The subjects and educational activities in schools apply methods that activate student engagement, where teachers play the role of organizing and guiding activities for students, creating a friendly learning environment and problem situations to encourage active participation in learning activities, self-discovery of their capabilities and aspirations, developing habits and self-learning abilities, and exploiting their potential and accumulated knowledge and skills for development.
Students' learning activities include problem exploration activities, practice activities, and application activities (applying learned knowledge to identify and solve real-world issues), carried out with the support of teaching devices, especially informatics tools and digital automation systems.
These learning activities are organized both inside and outside school premises through various forms such as learning theories; performing exercises, experiments, games, role-playing, research projects; participating in seminars, excursions, camping, reading; extracurricular activities, community service.
Depending on the objectives and nature of the activities, students are organized to work independently, in groups, or collectively as a class but must ensure that each student is provided opportunities to individually undertake learning tasks and experience reality.
(2) Orientation for Evaluating Educational Results
The goal of evaluating educational results is to provide accurate, timely, and valuable information on the extent to which program requirements are met and student progress to guide learning activities, adjust teaching activities, manage and develop the program, ensuring progress of each student and improving education quality.
The evaluation basis is the requirements related to qualities and competencies stipulated in the overall program and the subject and educational activity programs.
The evaluation scope includes compulsory subjects and educational activities, elective subjects and study topics, and optional subjects. The evaluation subjects are the products and the learning and training processes of students.
Educational results are assessed using both qualitative and quantitative methods through regular and periodic evaluations at educational institutions, broad-scale evaluations at national, local levels, and international assessments.
Along with results of compulsory subjects and educational activities, results of elective subjects and study topics, optional subjects are used to evaluate the overall learning outcomes of students within each school year and throughout the entire learning process.
The regular evaluation is organized by the subject teachers, combining evaluations by teachers, parents, the student being evaluated, and other students.
Periodic evaluations are conducted by educational institutions to manage teaching activities, ensure education quality at institutions, and serve program development.
Broad-scale evaluations at national, regional levels are organized by national or provincial testing organizations to manage teaching activities, ensure quality of education results at institutions, serve program development, and enhance education quality.
The assessment method ensures reliability, objectivity, suitability for each age, each education level, does not put pressure on students, and minimizes expenses for the state budget, students’ families, and society.
Gradually apply educational measurement and evaluation achievements from research, international experiences to improve the quality of evaluating educational results, classifying students at educational institutions, and using broad-scale evaluation results as a tool to control evaluation quality at schools.
