THE IMPACT OF MANAGEMENT FACTORS ON THE EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES OF SELF-PROTECTION SKILLS FOR 5–6 YEAR-OLD CHILDREN IN PUBLIC PRESCHOOLS: A CASE STUDY IN HOC MON DISTRICT, HO CHI MINH CITY

Tóm tắt

The purpose of this study is to determine the extent to which management factors influence the outcomes of self-protection skills training for 5 and 6 year-old children in preschools. This analysis is based on a survey of 192 managers and teachers working in Hoc Mon District, Ho Chi Minh City. The study employs both qualitative and quantitative research methods. The results reveal a moderately strong positive correlation between training outcomes and four management functions: planning, organizing, directing, and monitoring. Among these, planning and directing have the strongest influence, with standardized beta coefficients of 0.263 and 0.188, respectively. The study proposes two key management solutions: (1) improving the organization of training plans by clarifying procedures, defining responsibilities, and promoting collaboration; and (2) strengthening monitoring by using management software, diverse assessment tools, and regular feedback sessions. These measures aim to address management weaknesses and improve the effectiveness of self-protection skills training for preschool children.
