1 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.
