USING CASE STUDY METHOD IN NATIONAL DEFENSE - SECURITY EDUCATION AT HIGH SCHOOLS IN HO CHI MINH CITY

Tóm tắt

This study examines the implementation of the case study method in teaching National Defense - Security Education in Ho Chi Minh City high schools. A survey of 50 teachers and 200 students from three high schools reveals that while the case study method has been introduced, its application remains limited, with an average score of 3.19. Students demonstrated a relatively positive attitude in class, with average scores ranging from 3.26 to 3.69. Interviews with nine teachers of national defense-security education highlighted challenges associated with the method, including increased teacher workload, the need for extensive professional experience and practical knowledge in national defense and security, and the time-intensive nature of student engagement with case studies. Based on these findings, the article proposes measures to address these limitations and enhance the effectiveness of the case study method in practice.
