Chương trình khung giáo dục mầm non của một số quốc gia và khuyến nghị cho Việt Nam

Tóm tắt

The Early Childhood Curriculum Framework serves as a cornerstone in ensuring coherence, quality, and international integration in Vietnam’s early childhood education system. This paper analyzes and compares representative Early Childhood Curriculum Frameworks from Japan, Australia, Singapore, New Zealand, the United States, and the European Union with that of Vietnam, aiming to identify global trends in curriculum development and derive implications for improving Vietnam’s framework. The findings highlight shared global orientations toward holistic child development, child-centered approaches, learning through playing, respect for cultural diversity, promotion of bilingual and multicultural education, and enhanced institutional autonomy. Vietnam has embraced many of these values; however, the level of openness and autonomy in curriculum implementation remains limited. Accordingly, the authors propose the following directions for renewing Vietnam’s Early Childhood Curriculum Framework. These orientations contribute to refining Vietnam’s Early Childhood Curriculum Framework toward openness, flexibility, quality assurance, and alignment with the goals of education reform and international integration.
