Trang 51 Rationale of the research
History in general, knowledge of History in particular always has two parts: the
"history" part and the "thesis" part The historical part is the events and phenomena thathave happened, associated with certain time, space, characters and developments It is theresult of the process of exploiting, dealing with the past so as not to restore the past picture,knowing how history unfolds in the most honest way The essays are the evaluations,explanations, comments and comments of the afterlife about history, helping us tounderstand the logic and the intrinsic relationship of events Theory and methods ofteaching history have shown that: history and theory are unified, that is, how history takesplace must be evaluated like that That tells teachers in teaching history in high schools toensure the principle that all important historical events and phenomena must be evaluatedand that all evaluations and explanations must come from the facts facts, objective and realphenomena that students know For example: Students evaluate the Nguyen Dynastypositively or negatively, from which event did the praise or criticism come from? On whatbasis? In other words, developing students' ability to evaluate historical events in teachinghistory in high schools has long been a focus of subject-teaching theory
Unfortunately, with history teaching in high schools, the development of students'ability to evaluate facts is still limited A part of teachers, when organizing for students tolearn new knowledge, still heavy on event announcement, presentation, explanation orexplanation and interspersed with picture presentation without focusing on instructingstudents to develop develop competencies such as: historical inquiry, historical perceptionand thinking, application of learned knowledge and skills, autonomy and self-study,communication and cooperation, problem solving and creativity, When teaching, manyteachers have not focused on guiding students to evaluate facts, or the assessment is stillimposed, subjective, not derived from historical sources, and does not promote independentthinking students' creation… “Craming in a bunch of knowledge that is both heavy onmemorization and propaganda, but don't know where to apply it The test is still mainlymemorization, recognition causes boredom for students”[114] This is one of the reasonswhy many students are no longer interested, not interested in exploring and discovering
Trang 6when studying history In summary, history teaching practice reflects with the assessment ofhistorical events, teachers are confused, students are also confused, depending on theevaluation of others, this ability should be developed for students (and to a lesser extent).certain level for teachers) is essential.
In the national history program in high schools (2006 program and 2018 program),Vietnamese history from 1858 to 1918 has an important position, equipping students withmany events, topics and events specialized topics and topics such as: The stages of Frenchcolonial invasion and the Vietnamese people's resistance war; The anti-French patrioticmovement at the end of the nineteenth century; The war for the defense of the Fatherlandand the war for national liberation in Vietnamese history (before the August Revolution in1945), Some major reforms in the history of Vietnam (before 1858) The history of Vietnam(1858-1918) is closely associated with the history of the Nguyen Dynasty - the last feudaldynasty in the nation's history Many events, phenomena, and characters need to bethoroughly evaluated and thus, have advantages This helps students develop their ability toevaluate events In the process of teaching Vietnamese history (1858-1918), teachers need
to guide students to evaluate facts, ensure the correct process, based on scientific bases andbases to help students learn More interesting history, more effective
Stemming from the above background and practice, we choose the problem:
"Developing event assessment competency for students in teaching history in high schools

Chapter 1 OVERVIEW OF RESEARCH WORKS RELATED TO THE TOPIC 1.1 Fact studies and event evaluation in history research and teaching
1.3.1 General assessment and inherited thesis issues
On the basis of having access to many reference sources in the world and in Vietnam,the author has had a systematic and clearer view of the issues related to the event, theassessment of the event in historical research and teaching history; on competency andcompetency development for students to evaluate facts in teaching history in high schools.The above works were:
Affirming the importance of facts and assessing events in history teaching in general,and history teaching in high schools in particular
Provide important information related to the current state of history teaching ingeneral, assess facts and guide students to evaluate events in history teaching in highschools in particular
Presenting the basic features of content, form and methods of guiding students toevaluate events in history teaching through a number of specific teaching methods such asusing pictures, diagrams, group teaching , exchange, talk
Introduce a number of ways to develop student competencies in history teaching,
Trang 11including guiding the assessment of events in intra-curricular teaching, through experientialactivities, and history study tours.
The above research works are an important theoretical and practical basis for theauthor to inherit, supplement and develop at a higher level Specifically, the thesis inheritsthe following points:
First, the source of documents related to research problems in the world and in thecountry serving to solve the research topic is selected by the author
Second, the concepts of facts, competency, and ability to evaluate events for students
in teaching history in high schools, support the author to solve problems related to thetheoretical basis of the subject
Third, the information related to the actual situation of event assessment and thedevelopment of event assessment competency for students in teaching history in highschools, serves as a reference channel for the author to deal with the background practicerelated to the topic
Fourth, some suggestions on teaching forms, methods, and pedagogical measuresrelated to guiding students to evaluate facts in history teaching in high schools to developactive components student force
Fifth, some research methods can be consulted when presenting a scientific work onevent research, event assessment and event assessment in history teaching in high schools.However, the issue of developing the ability to evaluate facts for students in historyteaching in high schools is still a new content and it is difficult for any author to conductsystematic research in depth; There have been no studies to research and propose measures
to develop event assessment competency for students in history teaching (both 2006 and
2018 programs) Therefore, on the basis of inheriting previous documents and the task oftraining history teachers to meet the current 2018 General Education Program, we determinethe task of the thesis that needs to be solved
1.3.2 The thesis issues continue to solve
From the general assessment and the inheritance of the thesis mentioned above, wewill focus on solving the following issues:
First, to build a system of theoretical basis for developing the competency of eventassessment for students in teaching history in high schools For example: what is developingstudents' ability to evaluate facts in history teaching in high schools?; On what viewpoints
Trang 12and principles is the assessment of facts for students in teaching history in high schoolsbased?; How is the classification of events, the ability to evaluate events and thedevelopment of the ability to evaluate events for students in teaching history?; What does itmean to develop the ability to evaluate facts for students in teaching history in highschools?
Second, clarifying the situation of developing event assessment competency forstudents in teaching history in high schools through questionnaires, interviews, attendingclasses with high school teachers, building a survey questionnaire Monitor and attendprofessional training for both teachers and students to compare and serve as a practicalbasis
Third, develop a process to develop the ability to assess events for students in teachinghistory in high schools (applied through the Vietnamese history program 1858-1918)
Fourth, research and develop content and assessment criteria on developing eventassessment competency for students in teaching history in high schools
Fifth, focus on researching and proposing groups of measures to develop eventassessment competency in teaching history in high schools Each proposed measure will beconcretized by examples, proven through experimental results of each part
Sixth, learn the content and requirements to be met when teaching Vietnamese history1858-1918 (2006 program) to design lesson plans, organize pedagogical experiments withintegrated application of measures that thesis proposed in chapter 3
Finally, from the research results of the chapters, the thesis draws conclusions andrecommendations to guide the application of effective measures in practice
Sub-conclusion of chapter 1Through an overview of the works related to the research topic, the thesis has:
- Generalize the research on facts and evaluate events in history research and historyteaching (in the world and in the country)
- Summarize research on competency and develop competency to evaluate historicalevents both in the world and in the country
- Give a general assessment of the researched works inherited by the thesis, and at thesame time emphasize the problems posed for the thesis to continue to solve
The above-mentioned domestic and foreign history research and teaching works will
be important documents for the author to inherit and implement the theoretical and practical
Trang 13basis (chapter 2) of the thesis.
Chapter 2THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL BASIS OF DEVELOPING EVENT EVALUATION COMPETENCY FOR STUDENTS IN TEACHING HISTORY IN
HIGH SCHOOL2.1 Basis for argument
2.1.1 The concept of event assessment in history teaching in high schools
2.1.1.1 Concepts of events and historical events
Approaching from the perspective of teaching history in high schools, we believe thathistorical events are human records of things that happened in the past Historical events arerecorded and included in textbooks, giving priority to guiding students to evaluate inteaching history as accurate, basic and effective events for student development
2.1.1.2 The concept of event evaluation in history teaching
- Assessment
Assessment is the perception, opinion, and judgment of people (researchers, witnesses,etc.) about the event itself that happened in the past Evaluators can be directly observed(direct assessment) or through various historical sources (indirect assessment)
- The event assessment in the study
Assessment of addiction in historical research is about making the researcher'sperception of the historical event studied To evaluate the event, the researcher needs to bebased on the context, and this work is related to many factors: context, time, characters,events, not to impose subjective opinions of people later people in the assessment…
- The event assessment in history teaching
Facts assessment in history teaching is the making of learners' perceptions (opinions,personal opinions) about events that have happened in the past written in textbooks, included inthe curriculum history learning of students in high school
2.1.2 Types of events and characteristics of events in history teaching in high schools
2.1.2.1 Types of events
- Classification of events in the study
Historical facts always exist in 3 forms with 3 different meanings but closely related to
Trang 14each other: actual facts, documentary facts and knowledge facts.
- Classification of events in history teaching
Based on specificity (events and phenomena), scale (historical events in Vietnam, theworld, and localities), structure or complexity (simple events, complex events), contentcontent (economic, political, cultural - ideological, military events ), level of impact (basicand non-basic events)
2.1.2.2 Features of events in history teaching
Figure 2.1 Diagram of basic features of historical events 2.1.3 Features of fact assessment and event assessment levels in teaching history
in high schools
2.1.3.1 Features of event assessment in teaching history in high schools
Feature 1: The evaluation of historical events always comes from objective realityFeature 2: The assessment of historical events is both objective and subjective for theevaluator
Feature 3: The assessment of facts in history teaching in high schools is influenced byhistorical perspective and is directional
Feature 4: Assessment of facts in history teaching is both specific and general
Feature 5: Assessment of facts in teaching history is complicated but there is a unitybetween history and theory
Feature 6: Assessing events in history teaching helps students find out the nature,relationship and cause-and-effect law of events
Features of historical events
