TERESITA V. DE LA CRUZ YEAR WRITTEN :November 2013 This study sought to evaluate the management of the teaching-learning process in terms of objectives, curriculum and content, teaching and learning methods, organizational forms of teaching and learning, test and assessment method, and conditions for teaching and learning process in the credit-based learning approach of the selected colleges in the Association of Technical and Economic Colleges (ATEC) in Vietnam for academic year 2013-2014; reveal any significant difference in the management of teaching-learning process of the two college groups (one implementing credit-based learning approach and the other not implementing the approach); develop a strategic plan for credit- based learning approach implementation; and evaluate its acceptability. The descriptive method of research was employed to the two college groups of ATEC identified as the College Group 1 (credit-based learning schools) and Group 2 (non-credit-based learning schools). A total of 495 participants were surveyed from Group 1 comprising of four colleges while 399 in Group 2 from three colleges of ATEC. The questionnaires validated using inter-consistency x judgment criteria were used as main tools in data gathering while unstructured interviews were also conducted to cross check the participants’ responses in questionnaires. Moreover, the data gathered were analyzed through weighted mean and chi-square. It was then found out that the management of teaching- learning process in credit-based learning approach as to objectives is rated agree by all of the respondents; curriculum and content wherein all of the respondents from different sectors and groups agree with the criterion as indicated by the ratings of Group 1 (2.94) and Group 2 (2.72) administrators, Group 1 (2.92) and Group 2 (2.72) teachers, and Group 1 (2.88) and Group 2 (2.71) students; teaching methods which are perceived by all sectors as moderately carried out; learning methods wherein there is disparity between the responses of two groups where credit-based system administrators (2.53), teachers (2.53) and students (2.55) all perceive learning method moderately carried out while non-credit-based administrators(2.33), teachers (2.37) and students (2.41) rate it all very seldom carried out; organizational forms of teaching and learning wherein almost all respondents perceive organization forms in teaching-learning process moderately carried out as rated by Group 1 administrators (2.64), both Group 1 (2.65) and 2 (2.50) teachers, and Group 1 students (2.66) except for Group 2 administrators (2.49) Group 2 students (2.49); test and assessment method where all the sectors in both groups perceive test and assessment methods as moderately carried out as shown in ratings of group 1 (3.03) and 2 (2.90) administrators, group 1 (3.01) and 2 (2.88) teachers, and group 1 (2.91) and 2 (2.83) students; and conditions for teaching and learning process wherein there is another polarity in ratings of groups of respondents wherein credit-based school administrators (2.62), [...]... plan is commendable to improve the credit-based learning approach implementation However, it was recommended that the developed strategic plan may be adopted for the initial implementation by both the credit- and non-credit-based learning schools and self-learning and the use of variety of teaching methods may be reinforced by both the credit- and non-credit-based learning schools Chapter I INTRODUCTION... training program of credit-based learning approach, Nguyen Mai Huong (2010) observed that the learning time of the students in classroom reduces one third compared to the year-based learning approach so students have to increase the time of self-learning and self-study According to the regulations, every student must have self-learning time of 30 hours for credit 11 In credit-based learning approach,... must provide assignments to enhance self-learning, self-study to students In the credit-based earning approach, self-study of students is most important Students have to take part in self-earning and self-studying process in all trainings (in the class, in the library, in the laboratory, at home) To adapt to the organizational training forms of credit-based learning approach, both teachers and students... insufficient for the students’ self-study at home Aware of the role and importance of the credit-based learning approach in higher education institutions, particularly in colleges of ATEC, the researcher chose to delve with the study concerning management of teaching-learning process in credit-based learning approach of selected colleges in Association of Technical and Economic Colleges (ATEC) in Vietnam And based... evaluate the management of the teachinglearning process in the credit-based learning approach of selected colleges in Association of Technical and Economic Colleges (ATEC) in Vietnam for the academic year 201 3-2 014 Specifically, it sought attain the following objectives: 1 Determine the management of teaching-learning process in credit-based learning approach in terms of: 4 1.1 Objectives, 1.2 Curriculum... promoting self-studying capabilities of students and teaching through selfassessment of all members in teaching process As Dang Xuan Hai (2012) suggested, there are some organizational forms of teaching that need to be promoted in credit-based learning approach such as periods in class for theory, seminar hours, academic adviser hours, practice hours, team working hours, self- learning hours Theoretical... lessons are typical teaching forms of every university, its goal is to impart theoretical knowledge to learners via lectures, explanations, analysis, and demonstration Theoretical period exists in teaching process in almost subjects, however, in credit-based learning approach, some theoretical periods can be applied as oriented theoretical periods which are usually implemented in the first week of the...xi teachers (2.61) and students (2.60) agree while the non-credit-based school administrators (2.45), teachers (2.46), and students (2.44) disagree with the conditions for teaching-learning There is dominantly significant difference in the management of teaching-learning process of the two college groups, a strategic plan has been developed to improve the implementation... method (teachers present - students write notes) is still prevalent that teachers only manage teaching knowledge to students without instructing students the methods of self-learning and self-study In effect, the percentage of students who must relearn modules is high Some students neglect their studies due to the conditions of colleges which are less conducive for teaching-learning process Lack of... credit- based learning approach, should enjoin teachers to not only impart knowledge, but also focus on implementing the following activities: renewing teaching method, guiding students self-study; providing learning materials, emphasizing the key issues 17 that students need to pay attention to in self-study process; implementing strictly the contents of the syllabus; improving the method of test-evaluation, .
