Trang 13AB STRACT
The primary intent of this study was to investigate determine the status of the self- study activities of students in terms of students' awareness on self- study, study skills, habits
during self- study, services for self- study, teacher innitiative, self- study location,
administration at Hung Vuong university
The factors that may affect the activities of students' self- study are classified into external factors and internal factors It also included the perception of planning — the management of self-study, organizing the orientation for self-study activities, organizing management activities for self-learning skills enhancement, managing the use of facilities and equipment for students’ self-study activities This study also assess the necessity and feasibility of the management measures for self-study activities and develop management measures for students self- study activities based from its necessity and feasibility
This study used the weighted mean to describe the perception of the status of self- study activities, the factors that may affect the students’ self- study activities, the management measures The chi-square test was used to determine the significant relationship of the self- study activities and the factors that may affect the students' self- study activities
The questionnaire was divided into parts namely questionnaire to survey the reality of studetns' awareness about the role and significance of the self- study; questionnaire to survey the reality of students' self- study skills, the status of management on self- study activites of students at Hung Vuong University, ropose measures of management on self- study activities, the survey on the necessity and feasibility of the measures
Trang 14INTRODUCTION
Entering the twenty-first century, human beings faced with drastic changes of modern civilization due to the achievements of science and technology, with breakthroughs in all areas of social life Education is considered a key factor for the development of the society as required by that trend With the explosion of information technology, the amount of human knowledge is increasing day by day, hour by hour Time for learning in the school is limited, so that need to be equipped with self-study method to acquire the knowledge is the inevitable trend By means of self-learning, learners can study regularly, practice lifelong learning, learning anywhere and anytime
To improve the quality of human resources for the industrialization and modernization of the country, the Party and the State consider "Education is a top national policy", and "Investment for education is an investment for development " Education has been an important driving force for economic and social development of the country, the quality of education will determine the quality of human resources To get quality of education, two basic elements of the training: teaching and learning must be focused In the process of
learning, the learners must be directed in line with self-awareness, positive, proactive self-
organizing, and self-control of their own learning activities that makes the educational process to become self- education process Thus, the self- study is the way to develop a lifetime of every human being
Trang 15self-Thus, the self-study has great significance for the students themselves to complete their learning tasks with quality and efficiency
Self- study is the most complete expression of a possible role in the cognitive processes of students In the process, students must be active and independent, self-exploration and discovery to acquire knowledge under the direct control of the teacher However, to help students to achieve the good study result many factors both external factors and internal factors are involved but the most important factor as said is the management organization Therefore, the study on enhancing management measures on students' self- study activities to improve the quality of training at Hung Dugong University is necessarily conducted
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
In the learning process, self-study is justified in the way that learning themselves to dominate the intellectual mind Self- study has an important role, a strong impact on learning
outcomes of students There were researches on the topic, but overall achievement is the work of
the school In the learning process, learners need to dominate their own knowledge and skills, to master the trend and requirement of the future career To promote the initiative, their creativity, students need self-discipline, self-study method which are to rise the efficiency of learning
In the self-study process of the students, besides the autonomy, self-awareness, the use
Trang 16Nam HVU has total staff of over 400 in which, there are 10 associate professors, 30 doctors,
80 masters and 110 teachers are taking Ph.D and Master degree coures The number of students in 2012 is 12000
Its goal is to become a university which educates and trains students in multy disciplines and branches, and serves as a research centre of science and technology, meeting the need of economic, cultural and social development in Phu Tho province and her neighbors; aiming at building Hung Vuong University into one meeting the required national standards of well-qualified staffs and appropriate equipment in 2015
Trang 17This study focuses on enhancing management on students’ self- study activities at Hung Vuong university with an end view of developing a management measures of activities, school year 2012- 2013
Specifically, it sought answer to the following questions:
1 Determine the status of the self- study activities of students in terms of: 1.1 Students' awareness on self- study
1.2 Study skills
1.3 Habits during self- study 1.4 Services for self- study 1.5 Teacher initiative 1.6 Self- study location 1.7 Administration 2 Find out the factors that may affect the activities of students’ self- study 2.1 External factors 2.2 Internal factors 3 Find out the relationship between self- study activities and factors affecting the self- study activities
4 Identify the different management measures of self-study activities in terms of; 4.1 Planning the management of self-study
4.2 Organizing the orientation for self-study activities
Trang 185 Assess the necessity and feasibility of the management measures for self-study activities
6 Develop management measures for student's self- study activities based from its necessity and feasibility
NULL HYPOTHESIS
There is no significant relationship between self- study activities and factors that affect self- study activities
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This study will be beneficial to the following:
Students They will be benefited by this study since they are the main concern of teaching process From the results of the study will help students recognize the status of students’ self-study activities in both strengths and weaknesses, so that each student should clearly identify the motivation, attitude and self-study methods to achieve high academic results
Trang 19them with the management measures for reference in managing self-study activities of students in the school
Future Researchers This study could provide references for future proponents who wish to conduct a study similar to the nature of this ongoing research Thus, basic management measures of self- study activities of students could serve as resources for other studies
SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS
This study is limited only in enhancing the management measures on students' self- study activities at Hung Vuong University- Phu Tho province-Viet Nam The respondents were composed of 206 administrators and 328 students from the different satellite schools such as: Dept of Natural Sciences, Dept of Mathematics and Technology, Dept of Social Sciences, Dept of Foreign Languages, Dept of Primary and Pre-school Education, Dept of Economics and Business Administration, Dept of Agro-Forestry-Aquaculture, Dept of Art & Music
The instrument of the study focused only on the management measures on students’ self- study activities composed the following variables such as students' awareness on self- study, study skills, services for self- study, teaching method and administration
Trang 20REVIEW OF LITERATURE AND STUDIES
This chapter presents the review of related literature and studies that have bearing in
this research It includes the review of the variables such as self-study activities of the students,
the external and internal factors that may affect the self-study activities of the students
In the history of educational development, the factor of self -study is always theoretically and practically interesting In each stage of development, self-study problems are addressed and studied under many different aspects by research scholars
SELF-STUDY ACTIVITIES OF STUDENTS Self-study activities
Like any new field of research, self-study has gone through growing pains and stages of development marked by a need for a shared understanding and shared language around the field of self-study Many authors mentioned and got access to self-study, generally self-study can be understood is the process of knowledge comprehension of the historical experience of individual practices by establishing the initial relationship improved, compared with the model reflecting the real situation, turning human knowledge into the knowledge, experience, skills and techniques of oneself
Nguyen Canh Toan ( 2001) stressed: "Self-study is self brainstorming, thought to use the intellectual capacity (observation, comparison, analysis, synthesis, etc.) and the muscle
(when to use the tool) and its quality, then your motor, emotional, human, world agencies to
Trang 21processing and transforming the information knowledge outside of his inner man "
Dang Vu Hoat, Ha Thi Duc (2004) stated that self- study is a basic method of study in college and university It is a form of cognitive activity of individuals, in order to master the knowledge and skills system conducted by students in the classroom or outside the classroom Study closely related to the teaching process, but it is highly independent and bold personal nuances Self-study can be understood as a way of study in which people study with self- awareness, positive, proactive, independent capture knowledge in a certain area of life in order to achieve goals
(Cynthia A Lassonde, Sally Galman,Clare Kosnik ( 2009) Self-study involves a strong personal reference in that it involves study of the self and study by the self although there are variations of that theme Baird (2004) brought attention to the possible interpretations of self in self-study when he analyzed types of studies and distinguished the foci of self-study research, i.e., a focus on “the self in teaching”; “the self as teacher”; “the self as researcher of my teaching”; “the self as researcher of teacher education”; and “the self as researcher of self-study” (p 1445) Hamilton and colleagues (1998) define self-study as “the study of one’s self, one’s actions, one’s ideas, as well as the ‘not self Self-study also involves a thoughtful look at texts read, experiences had, people known, and ideas considered” (p 236) Hamilton and colleagues conclude “a critical examination of the self’s involvement both in aspects of the study and in the phenomenon under study” is central to self-study
Trang 22a program's strengths and limitations and the delineation of the steps necessary to correct those limitations Self- study requires a commitment to change rather than to maintaining the
status quo
(Source: http://www.asha.org/academic/accreditation/accredmanual/section4.htm) Through the self-study procedure, a program conducts a systematic and thorough examination of all its components in light of its stated mission Such an evaluation allows a program to determine the success, it is having in accomplishing its self-established goals and objectives through careful evaluation of input obtained from individuals and groups directly and indirectly involved with the program
Self- study is a process that should be ongoing Active and continuous involvement in self-study reflects a commitment to the concept of providing students with a quality educational experience

Trang 23So far, there have been a number of essays, thesis referring to self-study research in different aspects: Understanding students 'self- study situation; measures to improve students' self-study results; research study activities of students From different angles, the author of the study, analyze the status of self-learning activities, to propose measures for the efficiency of self-study activities Therefore, the study in depth the rationale for self-study, self-study management measures based on that proposed management measures students’ self-learning activities is very practical Especially, at Hung Vuong University, where no projects on this issue are conducted Therefore, the researcher choose topics: "Enhancing management measures on students' self- study activities at Hung Vuong University"
Characteristics of students' self- study activities
For students, self- study is a basic form of study It is a personal cognitive activities, in
order to master the knowledge and skills system conducted by the students in or outside of class; it may follow or not to follow the program and textbook regulations in the different training programs It can be said that self-study is an activity of the subject (students) and self- study problems posing great significance, at the very time when we advocate: regular education, lifelong learning
To complete the task of learners, students need to pay attention to the following issues: how to listen to lectures, read textbooks, books, reference materials, and make their own plans of study
Thai Duy Tuyen (2004), self- study at university is very important in the process of
education and self-education; it is evident that the self-education of the students in their life helps students master the knowledge, skills, techniques and future career In the course of
Trang 24In the process, students have shown a high level, be aware of their role, combining harmonious and unified leading role with the role of objects in teaching control
Ha Thi Duc (2004) In the learning process at the university, each student must dominate the system of knowledge, skills and master the basis of future career at the university with potential to rise to adapt demands the immediate and long term due to social practices and scientific and technological revolution poses Therefore, when conducting learning activities in college, the students can not only have normal cognitive capacities but also need to conduct the study -activities based on the ability of thinking independently, creative development at a high level
Nguyen Ky (2002) self -study not only helps students constantly improve the quality and effectiveness of learning but also help them to prepare for their future Students will
become scientific and technical staff with the capacity, interest, habits and methods self-
learning regular, self-study, especially in the era of knowledge economy and learning society today It will help owners get regularly updated knowledge to solve the urgent need of life in place, avoid the backward before the increasing development of the society currently
Dang Vu Hoat, Ha Thi Duc ( 2004) stated self- study activities aim to help the
students overcome difficulties in life, to assert themselves by the virtue of perseverance, hard
work, building the striving for science, for life, soon identified orientation, faith and passion for scientific research University study in content diversity, abundance, so that it requires students to be very proactive in planning a scientific way, in particular with high sense of responsibility The students outside the classroom can conduct self-study content, including all the academic work by individuals There is major independent student conduct even during
class hours as remember the revised signed lectures, homework, preparation seminar,
Trang 25operations Time for self-study students relatively high, the rate is usually 1-1 compared to their corresponding class 24-30 periods / week Therefore, the students' schedules often arise with many difficulties in resolving the conflict between the following issues:
- Time in class and time for self-study,
- Time for self-study and time for other activities (recreation, sports, cultural and
social activities);
- The volume of work and quality of work;
- The volume of work and health;
- The amount and quality of work and material conditions
Therefore, self-study activity should have scientific plan, a reasonable timetable to ensure the quality of self-learning, self-study as desired
The requirements for self-study activities of students (Source: http://www.studygs.net/vietnamese)
Based on the schedule, each student needs to build self-study plan, including detailed construction plan study time to meet the certain requirements:
Reasonable: Ensure self-study time for subjects in accordance with the corresponding volume of information
Trang 26Anti-fatigue and reproductive health: Ensure alternating, alternating between self- study and rest properly
Ensure flexibility and practicality of self-study plan and timetable
To be able to perform self-study plan and timetable with high performance students need to be aware of the following issues:
- Know how to work independently
Self-study activities that require students understand how to work independently in activities such as reading, self-completion of the types of exercises Independence working is not available It will be formed gradually in the course of practicing patience and system, based on self-learning, forging lines
- Concentration
To concentrate need to have the passion, excitement, feeling comfortable, excited to practice learning; persistent practice, does not oscillate, frustrated Determined to eliminate the dominant factor in the process of self-study thought
- Save time:
This problem is closely related to the concentration Concentrate well it will save time To save time, they need to work voluntarily, avoiding academic neglect, superficial Organized institutions where self-learning, to make it easy to quickly search for the
necessities (books, pens, paper, digital media, etc.) to avoid clutter, clutter
Trang 27to things, learn, and synthesize information, it’s helpful to occasionally spend time in self- reflection to gain a better insight into ourselves
DEFINITION OF TERMS
For the clarity and better understanding of the study, the following terminologies are defined both conceptually and operationally
Self-awareness is important because when we have a better understanding of ourselves, we are empowered to make changes and to build on our areas of strength as well as identify areas where we would like to make improvements Self-awareness is often a first step to goal setting
Examples of self-awareness: Preferred learning styles
e Aptitude for specific career fields
e Natural academic ability (athletics, mathematics, English, etc.) e Personality traits (introvert, extrovert, sensitive, judgmental, etc.) e Religious beliefs
e Political viewpoints
e Values (ethical, integrity, scrupulous, etc.)
Trang 28Study skills or study strategies are approaches applied to learning They are generally critical to success in school, considered essential for acquiring good grades, and useful for learning throughout one's life
There are arrays of study skills, which may tackle the process of organizing and taking in new information, retaining information, or dealing with assessments They include
mnemonics, which aid the retention of lists of information, effective reading, and concentration techniques, as well as efficient note taking
While often left up to the student and their support network, study skills are increasingly taught in High School and at the University level A number of books and websites are available, from works on specific techniques such as Tony Buzan's books on mind mapping, to general guides to successful study such as those by Stella Cottrell
More broadly, any skill, which boosts a person's ability to study and pass exams, can be termed a study skill, and this could include time management and motivational techniques
Study skills are discrete techniques that can be learned, usually in a short time, and applied to all or most fields of study They must therefore be distinguished from strategies that are specific to a particular field of study e.g music or technology, and from abilities inherent in the student, such as aspects of intelligence or learning styles

Trang 29learners to take control over their learning while at the same time supporting those learners who are not ready or who feel unprepared to take on this responsibility for them.” The significance of individual learner’s autonomy and self-directiveness development has been
stressed by different researchers (P Benson, L Dickinson, G Ellis, H Holec, D Little, B
Sinclair, M Warschauer, etc.) B Sinclair (1999) points out “the development of learner autonomy, at least to some degree and with differing interpretations, appears to be almost universally accepted as an important, general educational goal.” Following the most generally accepted definition of autonomy as “the ability to take charge of one’s own directed learning’ (Holec, 1981), learners have to develop special skills for determining their own needs, goals, ways of learning and evaluation This is not something people are born with — the learners have to be taught how to help themselves, how to manage their own learning “Raising the awareness of one’s own learning and gaining an understanding of the processes involved is thus another important key for the development of autonomous learning” (Kohonen, 1991) The above considerations have given rise to the problem of the present research: enhancing the learners’ self-awareness and self-directiveness in language learning because “without an explicit and conscious awareness of the processes involved in learning a language, learners will not be in a position to make informed decisions about their own learning” (Sinclair, 1999)
Teacher initiative comprises the principles and methods used for instruction Commonly used teaching methods may include class participation, demonstration, recitation,
memorization, or combinations of these The choice of teaching method or methods to be
used depends largely on the information or skill that is being taught, and it may also be influenced by the aptitude and enthusiasm of the students
Trang 30Educational administration is a discipline within the study of education that examines the administrative theory and practice of education in general and educational institutions and educators in particular The field ideally distinguishes itself from administration and management through its adherence to guiding principles of educational philosophy
( source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Educational_administration)
Self- Study habits are defined as the regular tendencies and practices that one depicts during the process of gaining information through learning Self- study habits play a big role in determining your success in the learning process
( Source: http://www.ask.com/question/definition-of-study-habits)
Study habits are the way that you study- the habits that you have formed during the school year Study habits can be good ones or bad ones Good study habits include being organized, keeping good notes, reading text books, listening in class, and working every day Bad studying habits inlude skipping class, not doing the homework, watching TV or playing video games instead of studying and losing the work
A habit is something that is done on a scheduled, regular and planned basis that is not relegated to a seccond place or optional place in one's life It is simply done no reservations, no excuses, no exceptions To study is to buy out the time and dedicate self to the application and the task of study which is to become engrossed in a process of learning, practice, enlightenment - education of one's self Therefore, study habits can be derived from the above as buying out a dedicated scheduled and un-interrupted time to apply one's self to the task of learning Without it, one does not grow and becomes self-limiting in life
Trang 31SELF- STUDY ACTIVITIES MANAGEMENT
Management of self- study is considered one of the important contents of the teaching process and management of the university Based on the concept of self-study, management, school management, the management of self-study activities can be understood as the system of impacts with plans, rules of management to all stages of the process of self-study, to help students fulfill their academic tasks The management of self-study activities is to ensure the conditions for positive self-study
Characteristics of the management of students' self-study activities
The management of self-study activities includes the subject and the object of management The subject of management is the department responsible for the impact on the learning process of students The object of management in education is the force that makes or receives in the education and training process
The nature of management self-study activities of students
The nature of self-study activities management is the process of implementing a series of functions including management functions from planning, implementing, directing and checking
Management of self-study activity is the process of creating the method, but the method must depend on the conditions and objective environment When the environment changes, the management methods must also change accordingly and efficiently However, management must follow the principles of management, if it is away from principles there
Trang 32The goal of self-study activites management
The highest goal of self-study activities management is to promote the quality of education, which also is to meet the requirements of society For that goal, the management measures need to be operated synchronously The specific objectives are determined based on common objectives are following:
- Students should have proper awareness about the purpose and significance of learning for themselves
- Students have a positive attitude towards learning and training; sense of self-
learning, self-study, initiative and creativity in the learning process Overcome the difficulties
in learning
- Students methods, study skills, know creatively apply the theory learned in life - The school ensures the conditions based on material and equipment for student self-study
- The school cnoducts the inspection and evaluation of student learning activities to ensure fairness, objectivity, and motivate students' self-learning process
( Source: Nguyen Canh Toan ( 2004), The process of self-study training, study and train how to study)
Content of the management on self-study activities
Trang 33Managing on building and and implementing of student self-study plan: Study plan is a detailed description of the self-study activities that they plan to be
implemented over a period Ensure the elements of time, space, content, media and the
conditions for implementation From the plan, students will take the initiative to capture the specific tasks to achieve the goal, self-learners to perform their duties, to control the whole process of self-study Student self-study plan should be specified in the timetable of each session, each week, and each month for each subject When planning study clearly identified students will facilitate the inspection and assessment of the results of self-learning and attainment of the study objectives outlined
Managing the content of students' self-study
In each training target, grades are content with the program, the amount of knowledge required and elective; students have to complete tasks in the allotted time In addition to the contents required in the curriculum, students can self-study, self-knowledge in the field of research and career interests, vocational skills training corresponds to the level of training The content management study aimed at students in self-learning contents in accordance with the objectives and training programs
Managing the implementation of students’ self-study: It includes the organization of activities of self-study, to ensure the conditions, to manage the testing and evaluation of students’ self-learning activities
Self-study activities management measures
Trang 34mastery Management measures for self-study is not the invariant that it must be used flexibly depending on the situation, different objects in order to achieve optimal efficiency in
management
The factors affecting the management of student self-study
The management of self-study activities of students affected by two factors: external factors and internal factors
External factors
The policies of the Party and the state of education, particularly factors related to teachers and students For example, the policy: "Say no to negative in examinations and achievements in education"
The contents of the training program; training requirements for each sector, the attractiveness of the discipline have a major impact on students' self-study
The teaching methodology, infrastructure facilities for learning, learning movement The discipline and envirnment of the school, if the school has good order and discipline, the students will have a good sense of learning and vice versa
The examination, inspection and evaluation of student learning outcomes to ensure fairness and objectivity, the regulations will create motivation and self-learning by students
The living conditions, infrastructure, such as the conditions of: food, accommodation
Trang 35Internal factors They are the key inside prescribed directly to the performance study, including physical and psychological factors
Physically factor: Fitness, personal health, the ability to acquire learning depends on genetic factors and the training of each person For students physically and mentally healthy will learn better than students who have poor health
