 Chapter 1 
 INTRODUCTION 
 Entering the twenty-first century, human beings faced with drastic changes of modern 
civilization due to the achievements of science and technology, with breakthroughs in all 
areas of social life. Education is considered a key factor for the development of the society as 
required by that trend. With the explosion of information technology, the amount of human 
knowledge is increasing day by day, hour by hour. Time for learning in the school is limited, 
so that need to be equipped with self-study method to acquire the knowledge is the inevitable 
trend. By means of self-learning, learners can study regularly, practice lifelong learning, 
learning anywhere and anytime. 
 To improve the quality of human resources for the industrialization and modernization 
of the country, the Party and the State consider "Education is a top national policy", and 
"Investment for education is an investment for development ". Education has been an 
important driving force for economic and social development of the country, the quality of 
education will determine the quality of human resources. To get quality of education, two 
basic elements of the training: teaching and learning must be focused. In the process of 
learning, the learners must be directed in line with self-awareness, positive, proactive self-
organizing, and self-control of their own learning activities that makes the educational process 
to become self- education process. Thus, the self- study is the way to develop a lifetime of 
every human being. 
 For the level of higher education, pedagogy requirements in Article 40 of the 
Vietnamese Law on Education (2005) states: "Methods of college and university education 
must pay attiention to the advancement of the self- consiousness in study, of ability of self- 
 2 
study, self-taught, developing creative thinking, drilling of practical skills, facilitate students 
in participating in research, experimentation and application" 
 Thus, the self-study has great significance for the students themselves to complete 
their learning tasks with quality and efficiency. 
 Self- study is the most complete expression of a possible role in the cognitive processes 
of students. In the process, students must be active and independent, self-exploration and 
discovery to acquire knowledge under the direct control of the teacher. However, to help 
students to achieve the good study result many factors both external factors and internal factors 
are involved but the most important factor as said is the management organization. Therefore, 
the study on enhancing management measures on students' self- study activities to improve the 
quality of training at Hung Dugong University is necessarily conducted. 
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY 
 In the learning process, self-study is justified in the way that learning themselves to 
dominate the intellectual mind. Self- study has an important role, a strong impact on learning 
outcomes of students. There were researches on the topic, but overall achievement is the work of 
the school. In the learning process, learners need to dominate their own knowledge and skills, to 
master the trend and requirement of the future career. To promote the initiative, their creativity, 
students need self-discipline, self-study method which are to rise the efficiency of learning. 
 In the self-study process of the students, besides the autonomy, self-awareness, the use 
of management measures on students' self- study it refers to self- study activities management 
system including management's plans for all stages of the process of students' self-study to 
complete their learning task.

 Hung Vuong University (HVU) was established on 29 April 2003 on the foundation of 
Phu Tho teachers Training College. It is located in Phu Tho province - the Birthplace of Viet 
Nam. HVU has total staff of over 400 in which, there are 10 associate professors, 30 doctors, 
80 masters and 110 teachers are taking Ph.D and Master degree coures. The number of 
students in 2012 is 12000. 
 Its goal is to become a university which educates and trains students in multy 
disciplines and branches, and serves as a research centre of science and technology, meeting 
the need of economic, cultural and social development in Phu Tho province and her 
neighbors; aiming at building Hung Vuong University into one meeting the required national 
standards of well-qualified staffs and appropriate equipment in 2015 
 From 2004, it was assigned to disciplinary higher education; the initial difficulties of 
the university were teaching and learning in higher education level. Most of the students who 
just passed the entrance examination do not have active and positive habits of self-study and 
self-learning skills, they learn what they are taught. In addition, factors such as physical 
facilities, books and curricula for teaching and learning are still insufficient in training have 
affected the quality of the school. According to the roadmap innovation, higher education in 
Vietnam, from 2010 Hung Vuong University has transformed from school- based to credit - 
based system. With this change, the role of the students is promoted to maximum with the 
support of faculty and academic management. From the above problems, the identification of 
management measures of students' self-study activities at Hung Vuong University to improve 
the quality of training is a matter of urgency.

 Chapter II 
 REVIEW OF LITERATURE AND STUDIES 
 This chapter presents the review of related literature and studies that have bearing in 
this research. It includes the review of the variables such as self-study activities of the students, 
the external and internal factors that may affect the self-study activities of the students. 
 In the history of educational development, the factor of self -study is always 
theoretically and practically interesting. In each stage of development, self-study problems are 
addressed and studied under many different aspects by research scholars. 
SELF-STUDY ACTIVITIES OF STUDENTS. 
Self-study activities 
 Like any new field of research, self-study has gone through growing pains and stages 
of development marked by a need for a shared understanding and shared language around the 
field of self-study. Many authors mentioned and got access to self-study, generally self-study 
can be understood is the process of knowledge comprehension of the historical experience of 
individual practices by establishing the initial relationship improved, compared with the 
model reflecting the real situation, turning human knowledge into the knowledge, experience, 
skills and techniques of oneself. 
 Nguyen Canh Toan ( 2001) stressed: "Self-study is self brainstorming, thought to use 
the intellectual capacity (observation, comparison, analysis, synthesis, etc.) and the muscle 
(when to use the tool) and its quality, then your motor, emotional, human, world agencies to 
dominate a certain field of knowledge into their own 
 8 
 Nguyen Ky (2002) self- study is the process of internal development, in which the 
subject of self-expression and transformation, self-enriching its value by acquisition, 
processing and transforming the information knowledge outside of his inner man " 
 Dang Vu Hoat, Ha Thi Duc (2004) stated that self- study is a basic method of study in 
college and university. It is a form of cognitive activity of individuals, in order to master the 
knowledge and skills system conducted by students in the classroom or outside the classroom. 
Study closely related to the teaching process, but it is highly independent and bold personal 
nuances. Self-study can be understood as a way of study in which people study with self-
awareness, positive, proactive, independent capture knowledge in a certain area of life in 
order to achieve goals. 
 (Cynthia A. Lassonde, Sally Galman,Clare Kosnik ( 2009) Self-study involves a 
strong personal reference in that it involves study of the self and study by the self although 
there are variations of that theme. Baird (2004) brought attention to the possible 
interpretations of self in self-study when he analyzed types of studies and distinguished the 
foci of self-study research, i.e., a focus on “the self in teaching”; “the self as teacher”; “the 
self as researcher of my teaching”; “the self as researcher of teacher education”; and “the self 
as researcher of self-study” (p. 1445). Hamilton and colleagues (1998) define self-study as 
“the study of one‟s self, one‟s actions, one‟s ideas, as well as the „not self‟ Self-study also 
involves a thoughtful look at texts read, experiences had, people known, and ideas 
considered” (p. 236). Hamilton and colleagues conclude “a critical examination of the self‟s 
involvement both in aspects of the study and in the phenomenon under study” is central to 
self-study.

ROTTERDAM/BOSTON/TAIPEI- 2009)

 Self-study is a procedure whereby an education program describes, evaluates, and 
subsequently improves the quality of its efforts. Self-assessment involves the identification of 
a program's strengths and limitations and the delineation of the steps necessary to correct 
those limitations. Self- study requires a commitment to change rather than to maintaining the 
status quo. 
 (Source:  
 Through the self-study procedure, a program conducts a systematic and thorough 
examination of all its components in light of its stated mission. Such an evaluation allows a 
program to determine the success, it is having in accomplishing its self-established goals and 
objectives through careful evaluation of input obtained from individuals and groups directly 
and indirectly involved with the program. 
 Self- study is a process that should be ongoing. Active and continuous involvement in 
self-study reflects a commitment to the concept of providing students with a quality 
educational experience. 
 (Source: www.asha.org › ... › CAA Accreditation Manual) 
 Imbued with the thoughts of Ho Chi Minh the Party's guideline to improve the quality 
of education, the educational renovation first in teaching and learning is centered. Many 
researchers have studied the role of self-study to make it the process in lineage. The authors 
as: Ha The Ngu, Dang Vu Heat, Dang Be Lam, Nguyen Cahn Tan (2004) and some other 
educators. There have been many researches on the learner's self-study activities. Typically 
the book: "Learning and teaching how to learn" by Nguyen Canh Toan has confirmed the 
important role of self-study, it helps students develop independence, creative initiative to 
acquire knowledge and understanding. 
 10 
 So far, there have been a number of essays, thesis referring to self-study research in 
different aspects: Understanding students 'self- study situation; measures to improve students' 
self-study results; research study activities of students ... From different angles, the author of 
the study, analyze the status of self-learning activities, to propose measures for the efficiency 
of self-study activities. Therefore, the study in depth the rationale for self-study, self-study 
management measures based on that proposed management measures students' self-learning 
activities is very practical. Especially, at Hung Vuong University, where no projects on this 
issue are conducted. Therefore, the researcher choose topics: "Enhancing management 
measures on students' self- study activities at Hung Vuong University" 
Characteristics of students' self- study activities 
 For students, self- study is a basic form of study. It is a personal cognitive activities, in 
order to master the knowledge and skills system conducted by the students in or outside of 
class; it may follow or not to follow the program and textbook regulations in the different 
training programs. It can be said that self-study is an activity of the subject (students) and self-
study problems posing great significance, at the very time when we advocate: regular 
education, lifelong learning. 
 To complete the task of learners, students need to pay attention to the following issues: 
how to listen to lectures, read textbooks, books, reference materials, and make their own plans 
of study. 
 Thai Duy Tuyen (2004), self- study at university is very important in the process of 
education and self-education; it is evident that the self-education of the students in their life 
helps students master the knowledge, skills, techniques and future career. In the course of 
study each stud...anagers who are leaders of schools, 
departments, faculties, representatives of teachers.

 activities of students. In the process of teaching if the teachers designed activities to guide 
 students in finding materials, reading and doing homework will encourage student self-study. 
 That means, teaching activities and initiatives of the teacher will determine the method of 
 student learning. 
 Besides, testing and assessment methods will also motivate the study, with the 
 initiative of the teachers mentioned on the table above shows , all students are evaluated on 
 two levels " Agree" and " Strongly Agree".

 study serves as a very important factor. Students may only perform their self- study activities 
 when they have appropriate locations with quiet and well-lit area. The survey shows that 
 students do not have a specific location to study; they may choose any suitable loactions to 
 hold them for self- study.

 The table shows that administration of self- study activities of students a number of 
 measures have been carried out at different level. Among the measures that have both direct 
 and indirect impact to students. 
 These measures have a certain effect in self-study activities of students. Each 
 measure has its own role but they are interactive. However, they have not been applied at the 
 highest level, thus effect promotion does not show clearly. At the highest level, the statement 
 1 mentions on the management of teacher training activities to influence student- study 
 activities, this is a form of indirect impacts. At the lowest level, it belongs to the management 
 extracurricular activities. For the successful implementation these measures, it requires the 
 synchronization of forces in schools.

 method of self- study, ability to acquire learning, self- regulation and self- study management. 
 Self-study activities of students are driven by motivation, the management measures 
 of self- study activities only can be effective when the students themselves actually need to 
 learn. They will be excited, confident in their studylearning. The most important for students 
 is to identify their studying task and to do its best in the learning process.

not been done regularly. 
 Based on the functions and duties, the departments have developed their own plan, 
but also just to meet the basic needs of the students. 
 The service support to self- study such as facilities, lecture halls, libraries, and 
textbooks has met the basical need for self- study activities. 
 The faculties and departments are responsible for organizing, preparing and serving 
terms of studying conditionas. The faculty is responsible for assigning teacing staff to guide 
students in self- study process; the students participate in organizing classroom activities, 
orientating and discussing on self- study methods weekly classes.
