INTRODUCTION

1 Rationale of the study

Education Law 2005 and Amended Law complementing some articles of Education Law 2009 defined that the target of education is

to train Vietnamese people to be fully-developed with ethics, knowledge, health and profession; to be loyal to the ideal of national independence and social society; to form and foster citizens’ personality, quality and ability in meeting the demand of nation’s construction and defense

In public schools in general and high schools in particular, the act of evaluating education outcomes is one of significant steps of the overall educational activity Not only does evaluation assess students learning and training outcomes, encourage and foster them, assist them

to be continuously progressing but it can also provide feedback in order for educators and teachers to have clear understanding about the reality of education quality, from which appropriate education amendments can be conducted Moreover, evaluating education outcomes helps educational organizations, administrators and policy planners gain figures and information about quality of a multi-scaled educational system so that timely amendments, complements and steering can be made The act of evaluating students’ conduct at high schools is one of the significant activities in evaluating educational outcomes in general

In high schools, conduct is considered as ethics Thus, evaluating students’ conduct is based on specific performance about attitudes and moral acts Identifying the basis of definition as well as exploring the relationship between conduct and relevant definitions such as ethics, quality, value, etc have been bringing issues needing consideration together with processing legal documents, steering the management on evaluation of conduct consistently and effectively of high school teachers Firstly, there needs to be consistence in definition about students’ conduct through nature, meaning, content, etc; the relationship between conduct and moral, etc though identifying definitions

Evaluating and grading high school students have been being

conducted according to Circular 58 of Ministry of Education and

Training (MOET) which includes evaluating and grading students’

conduct and learning capacity Nevertheless, the facts have shown that

evaluating and grading students’ conduct have been proved inadequate

and inconsistent The foundations and standards which are the basics

to evaluate, grade students’ conduct have not based on ethical

categories, such as lacking of significant criteria and figures to assess

students’ social skills Evaluating students’ conduct has not ensured

the consistency in educational organizations, especially lacking of

appropriate and up-to-date changes to the new era The aim of

evaluating students’ conduct is to educate students’ conduct

Therefore, in order to train students’ conduct, there is a need to change

methods, techniques and criteria of the evaluation of conduct

The rapid development in social economy and international

integration in general and in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) in particular

has multi-dimensional effects which affects the process of forming and

developing young generation’s personality The overall report on the

program “Educating and training conduct and lifestyle” of Ho Chi

Minh City Department of Education and Training (DOET) the last

three years stated “Some high school students have not possessed the

ideal for life which values the community’s benefit The schools’ good

values are threatened by jealousy, habit of enjoying, individualism,

social violence, etc Due to this fact, society and education are paying

special attention to training students on ethics and life style in general

and the evaluation of high school students’ conduct in particular

Despite many studies conducted on students’ conduct and

conduct-educating activity, few studies have been conducted on

management on evaluation of students’ conduct of all grades in both

theory and practicality; especially none study on high school students

have been conducted

Based on the theory and practicality mentioned above, the

author chose the topic “Management on high schools’ evaluation of

students’ conduct in Ho Chi Minh City” to conduct the study

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

1 Conclusion 1.1 Regarding the theory: The thesis has systematized some

basic issues including: Personality, morality, and conduct Evaluation and evaluation of conduct; Management and the management of the evaluation of students' conduct Especially, the thesis set up definitions

of conduct, evaluation of conduct, and management on evaluation of conduct; concretized this definition using the approach of 4 basic management functions to form the management procedure of evaluation of high school students' conduct The thesis has clearly divided the managing and delivery levels of the evaluation of high school students' conduct into 3 levels: the Department of Education and Training, high schools, and teachers The thesis has built a managing procedure and managing content of the evaluation of high school students’ conduct It determines the objectives of the evaluation

of high school students’ conduct: to improve the quality of the education of ethics for students The thesis has showed that the evaluation of high school students' conduct consists of: setting objectives, evaluation criteria, evaluation procedure and technicality, and the subject for evaluation People participating in the evaluation (homeroom teachers, subject teachers, supervisors, school consultants) are the key for success in this procedure The thesis has designed the managing procedure of the evaluation of high school students' conduct, including the steps: making plans, implementing, directing, monitoring and assessing the evaluation of high school students' conduct

1.2 Regarding the facts: The thesis has determined the

achievements of the current evaluation procedures and also proved the relevance of the management of high school students' conduct evaluation If the evaluation is managed well, the quality of the evaluation of students’ conduct will be enhanced considerably High school students' conduct evaluation has enabled the Department of Education and Training to manage students' conduct education closely and comprehensively Through students' conduct evaluation, high schools have improved methods and contents in educating morality to students However, there are still some limitations in the evaluation of

Through opinion polls and deeper analysis on unnecessary and

infeasible factors, we will continue to improve the program in the next

training courses to increase the training’s practicality

This also proved that: The training and the organizing and

directing of training for high school managing staff and teachers is

appropriate, scientific, feasible, practical and suitable for the

conditions in most high schools The method “Organize, direct the

training of management staffs, teachers, and supervisors in evaluating

high school students’ conduct” is necessary and feasible

CHAPTER 3 CONCLUSION

Based on theoretical and practical basis, on the basis of the

principles in setting up organizational management of high school

students' conduct evaluation, the author proposed 8 methods of

management of high school students' conduct evaluation in HCMC,

including: - Direct high schools to organize the system of management

on evaluating students’ conduct; - Organize, direct the training of

management staffs, teachers, and supervisors in evaluating high school

students’ conduct; - Organize and direct the implementation of training

activities for management staff, teachers in the evaluation of high

school students’ conduct; - Organize and direct the supplementation of

the evaluation content and evaluation criteria of high school students’

conduct; - Organize and direct the process of building an evaluation

scale for the evaluation of high school students' conduct; - Organize,

direct, and innovate the method of students' conduct evaluation by

implementing the positive discipline education;- Organize, direct, and

innovate the methods of the evaluation of students' conduct by hands

on education activities; - Organize, direct, and design a clear

procedure for the evaluation of high school students' conduct

The experimental result showed high necessity and feasibility

in the methods The experimental result of one method in the

organization and management of high school students' conduct

evaluation also proved its feasibility These methods are in a mutually

supportive system, increasing their effectiveness in the management of

high school students' conduct evaluation

member of the society Moreover, this method also gives students a

chance to prove their creative hobbies and special qualifications and

heighten the sense of co-operation and solidarity, and promotes

students discovery and creativity When students take part in these

activities, they will be familiar with protecting natural environment

and recognize the value of their life Through these activities, high

schools will evaluate changes of student’s behaviors, hence, they can

assess and evaluate students' conduct in a more subjective and

impartial manner

3.2.8 Method 8 Organize, direct, and design a clear procedure

for the evaluation of high school students' conduct

The procedure of high school students' conduct evaluation

must ensure adequacy, cohesion, and integration among factors,

departments that can make impact on the effectiveness of the

and assign staff to participate in the evaluation of students’ conduct This aims to educate and correct students’ social awareness and behavior

The result of this survey on the management of the evaluation

of students’ conduct in high schools showed that the strength of the evaluation of high school students’ conduct was based on the clear directives and implementation guides given by the Ministry of Education and Training and the Department of Education and Training

in Ho Chi Minh city These documents were appropriate in their scientific nature in both the evaluation of students’ conduct and relevance in Ho Chi Minh City and the rest of the country The specific deployment through planning functions, implementation of organization, implementation of guidelines, and assessment of the evaluation of high school students’ conduct as prescribed, was implemented in 100% of high schools

However, the limitation of this evaluation system is the lack of directives guiding combined organization and assignment of responsibilities for each member of staff in high schools in educating ethics and evaluating students’ conduct There are also a lack of procedures and many member of staff lack the required skills of evaluate students’ conduct effectively Management staff and teachers have not been trained in how to conduct this evaluation Despite the fact that the evaluation of students’ conduct through the Civil Education subject is inappropriate, there is yet any directive paper to adjust the situation The evaluation of students’ conduct during other education activities has not developed In addition, some activities have not applied the evaluation of students’ conduct such as educating life skills, life values, and real life experience, etc Organizing school consultation activities is not appreciated throughout high schools; there are lots of inadequacies in both specialist qualification and remuneration policy, and official position or title for supervisor staffs, school specialist consultants in high schools

School, family, and society are factors that affect the conduct

of high school students in HCMC and management of the evaluation

of high school students’ conduct in HCMC
