Mức độ quan tâm và thực hiện mục tiêu, nội dung tự học của sinh viên Trường Đại học Cần Thơ: thực trạng và kiến nghị

Tóm tắt

Self-study plays a huge role in developing learners' competencies and qualities. Self-study goals and contents are considered two decisive factors for the quality of self-study activities. Once determining the appropriate goals and contents for self-study, students would find suitable methods and techniques of self-study and achieve better learning results. In this article, we surveyed 59 managers, 53 lecturers and 807 students at 10 training units of Can Tho University about the level of interest, goal completion and self-study content of students. The results show that the students were quite interested and generally fulfilled the self-study objectives and contents; despite some cases where students neglected the requirements for scientific research, foreign language learning skills or encountered difficulties in determining their own self-study goals and content, etc. Accordingly, the authors propose some recommendations to the University, lecturers and students in order to identify and accomplish self-study goals and contents most effectively. This study would also serve as the basis for a deeper analysis of the factors affecting self-study activities such as methods, forms, testing and assessment, etc., of students at Can Tho University.
