Hanoi (VNS/VNA) - The Ministry of Education and Training hasannounced a draft circular providing three e-learning methods for the newacademic year this August due to COVID-19 pandemic concerns.
Under the new circular, three online studying forms will be implemented.
In the first form, online learning will be used as a supportive means totraditional face-to-face learning.
Teachers will provide documents, study materials, assign tasks, guide andsupervise students to self-study in preparation for learning in class.
In the second form, online studying will partially replace traditionalstudying.
Students will conduct most studying activities at home and only go to school topractise special skills such as teamwork and debate skills.
In the third form, e-learning will completely replace traditional learning. Allstudying activities will be carried out entirely online. This option will onlybe applied when students are unable to attend class, such as during the schoolclosures across the country witnessed since February throughout April this yearin a bid to curb coronavirus spread.
Thai Van Tai, director of the ministry’s Primary Education Department, saide-learning would help student access education, especially when they are unableto go to school.
This method would also support traditional learning and create opportunitiesfor teachers and students to access useful resources on the internet.
Through e-learning, both teachers and students will improve their computing andtechnological competences, problem-solving and self-study skills.
Tai said the draft decree should be suitable for both teachers and students’abilities and should not put pressure on them.
Regular assessments of students' learning performance would be carried outonline. However, the periodic assessments would be carried out directly atschools.
Teachers will participate in training courses to improve their online teachingskills, he said.
The ministry is now collecting public opinions on the draft decree.
If the draft is approved, schools will develop their own e-learning regulationsand make it known to teachers, students and parents before implementing it inthe new academic year./.
