Trang 4INTRODUCTION
1 Significance of the study
1.1 The strong development of science and technology in the 21st century has brought humanity into the 4.0 revolution, characterized by an overwhelming amount
of intellectual information and an exponential rate of change Teaching with traditional knowledge is no longer appropriate, schools cannot impart a huge and constantly changing amount of knowledge to students Instead, learners need to be trained in learning methods to develop cognitive capacity and thinking capacity to find, analyze and use information knowledge to solve real-life problems and have the ability to learn throughout life The World Economic Forum (2016) identified sixteen skills for 21st century workers in three areas (fundamental knowledge, general abilities and personal qualities), which emphasizes critical thinking, problem solving skills and creativity are important foundational competencies For that reason, developing students’ competency is the goal of modern education and has become an international educational trend today
The requirements to build the country in the period of industrialization, modernization and international integration have posed the need for fundamental and comprehensive innovation in Vietnamese education The 8th Conference of the Central Executive Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam (term XI) passed Resolution No 29/NQ-TW dated November 4, 2013 on fundamental and comprehensive innovation of education and training with orientation "strongly shifting the educational process from mainly equipping knowledge to comprehensively developing learners' capacity and qualities" Resolution No 88/2014/QH13 (November 28, 2014) of the National Assembly on reforming the educational curriculum and textbooks also affirms that educational reform after 2015
is "transforming education heavy on knowledge transfer to education that comprehensively develops both qualities and abilities; harmonizes virtue, intellect, body, and beauty; and maximizes the potential of each student." On that basis, the Ministry of Education and Training has issued a 2018 Education Program (December
28, 2018) with the goal of developing learner qualities and capacities
1.2 The 2018 High School History Curriculum (revised in 2022) has the mission of helping students form and develop historical competencies - specific competencies of historical science, and at the same time contribute to the formation and development of key qualities General weakness and energy are identified in the overall curriculum
Trang 5Historical cognitive and thinking capacity of History is one of the component capacities
of historical capacity (learning history, historical awareness and thinking, applying historical knowledge and skills) Therefore, it is the central stage of students' historical awareness process, a bridge that helps students go from knowing history to understanding and deeply understanding history, on that basis they are able to apply the knowledge of history into practice To understand history, learners must go through the process of thinking on the basis of historical events and specific historical characters in different historical periods Without cognitive and thinking abilities, children cannot properly perceive the reality of objective past history, which is extremely complex and diverse with its many colors Correct awareness and thinking about history are important conditions for students to be able to draw historical lessons, know how to make connections, and creatively apply historical lessons in practice Therefore, developing historical capacity and thinking for students is an important task of history education in high schools, meeting the goal of teaching and developing students’ competency set out
by the 2018 Education Program
1.3 History in high schools is a subject that plays a key role in educating patriotism, national spirit, cultural traditions, and fostering qualities and personality for the young generation This has great significance and impact in the current work
of developing the country In recent years, like other subjects, the reform of subject teaching has been carried out and there have been changes, but the quality of current history teaching still does not meet the training requirements of the younger generation There are many reasons for this situation One of the basic reasons is that the development of historical cognitive and thinking capacities for students has not received much attention and focus from teachers because the curriculum and textbooks are still heavily academic, and the application of Teaching methods that promote students' positivity and thinking are limited in frequency and effectiveness Therefore, the historical awareness of most students stops at the level of low-level thinking (knowing and identifying historical events), and the level of high-level thinking (understanding, applying, drawing historical lessons) has not yet met the training, education and development requirements of the subject
To achieve the goal of the 2022 History Curriculum, the task of developing historical skills in general, historical skills and historical thinking for students is the top task that teachers need to perform If we do not pay attention to this task, it will
be difficult to achieve the success of the new curriculum implementation The
2022-2023 school year is the first year the 10th grade high school history program is taught
Trang 6with the goal of "helping students develop historical capacity based on basic and advanced knowledge of world history, regional history and Vietnamese history through a system of themes and topics on political, economic, social, cultural and civilizational history Therefore, it is extremely necessary to research and apply measures to develop historical capacity and historical thinking for students to create a foundation for developing their historical capacity in adjacent classrooms
Based on the above reasons, we chose the issue: "Developing students’
cognitive and thinking competence in teaching 10th grade history in high school" as the topic of the thesis, with the hope of being able to improve the quality
of history teaching in high schools according to the orientation of developing students’ personal qualities and competencies, meeting current educational innovation requirements

Trang 12CHAPTER 2 ISSUES OF DEVELOPING COGNITIVE AND THINKING
CAPACITY FOR STUDENTS IN TEACHING HISTORY
IN HIGH SCHOOLS - THEORY AND PRACTICE
2.1 Theoretial basis
2.1.1 The concept of developing cognitive and thinking capacities for students in teaching and learning in high schools
2.1.1.1 Competence and cognitive capacity
Competency is the ability to respond and apply comprehensively and effectively all human potentials (knowledge, skills, attitudes, physical strength, etc.) to effectively perform work or deal with situations situations in life, professional work, and study under specific conditions and according to certain standards
Cognitive capacity is the ability to learn, recognize, analyze and understand ideas from concrete to abstract about objective reality on the basis of personal psychological and intellectual attributes, laying the basis for forming into knowledge about that reality
2.1.1.2 Historical thinking and historical thinking capacity
Historical thinking Historical thinking is the process of rational cognition that delves deeply into the nature of past real historical events and processes in order to draw out the laws and nature of those historical events under different forms such as historical concepts, historical laws and lessons learned for the present
Historical thinking capacity is the ability to apply thinking operations to effectively solve historical cognitive problems, to reconstruct past history, explain, and draw meanings, rules, and principles the nature of historical events and processes, and the application of those laws to real life
2.1.1.3 Develop cognitive capacity and historical thinking
Developing historical cognitive and thinking skills also follows the rule of the cognitive process, which is "from vivid visualization to abstract thinking and from abstract thinking to practice", from the stage of sensory perception to the stage of rational cognition Specifically: 1- Students perceive, visualize, imagine, and recreate past history; 2- Students go through the operations of analysis, comparison, abstraction, and generalization; 3-Students explain, analyze, and evaluate the nature and cause-and-effect relationships between historical events and processes
Trang 132.1.2 Constituents of cognitive capacity and historical thinking
Historical cognitive and thinking capacities are one of of the three components
of historical capacity Historical cognitive and thinking capacities belong to the second level - between the level of learning history and applying learned knowledge and skills According to the History Curriculum, cognition and thinking are equivalent according to Bloom's cognitive scale, specifically: Comprehension, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluating Thus, historical cognitive and thinking capacities are associated with higher-level thinking (at the end of this stage, knowledge and skills have been formed, serving as a basis for application)
From the perspectives of thinking capacity in general and historical thinking capacity, characteristics of historical thinking and cognitive levels of students in learning
by domestic and foreign authors, and analyzing the History curriculum, we believe that
in the process of teaching History in high schools, we determine the content and expression of the content of the cognitive and thinking competencies that need to be formed and developed for students in History teaching, specifically as follows:
Expression of historical cognitive and thinking capacities
Identify historical events in specific spatial and temporal contexts over different
periods
- Explain the origin and movement of historical events from simple to complex
- Explain the cause and effect relationship in the historical process (between
historical events and processes; between natural conditions and social development, between people and people, etc
Compare similarities and differences between events, characters, and historical
processes
- Analyze the impact and interrelationships between events, characters, and historical
processes
- Analyze the causes of success or failure (of events, historical events, revolutionary
movements, wars, reforms, )
- Analyze the continuity and change of events, characters, and issues in the historical
process
- Evaluate and criticize historical issues: give personal comments and assessments on
historical events, characters, and processes
- Evaluate the level and importance of events, characters, and historical processes
