ABSTRACT
1. Reason for choosing
1.1. Learning skills have an important role in determining the
effectiveness of learning activities. Learning skills help learners acquire
knowledge and the abilities to self-studies for the rest of their life.
Therefore, Forming reasoning and training skills for learners is essential.
Especially with those Who are currently studying in education centers
1.2. At the present, high school (HS) supplementary students in
Continuing Education Center (CEC) have more difficulties in studying
compared to HS students, they are children who have graduated from
secondary school (SS) at the age of HS student or older. CEC recruits all
students who do not take the entrance exam or the students who fail to
enter public HS or older adults who are working, so most of them have not
been classified by academic skills. Therefore, the learning skills of the
trainees are still weak and the learning activities are often not produced
good results and do not meet standard of CEC.
1.3. In educational field: Researches on learning skills and training
learning skills for special students, especially HS supplementary students
who are currently studying in CECs across the country are still lacking. In
fact, practical research is needed on this issue to improve the quality of
teaching and teaching quality at the CECs.
Because of these above reasons, the thesis "Practicing Learning
skills for Complementary high school students" has found new practical
values in it. The thesis research will aim to improve the quality of teaching
and learning in the CECs.
2. The aim of research
Proposing the measures to practice learning skills for
Complementary HS student in CECs at district level in order to improve
learning quality and students’ studying results.
3.Object and subject of Research
3.1. Object of the research: Teaching process at the CECs.
3.2. Subject of the research: Practice learning skills for
Complementary HS student in CECs.

4. Scientific Supposition
The learning skills of students in the CECs are only enabled and
developed through the training and practicing in the pedagogical
environment under the positive influence of the teacher. In the present, the
learning skills of HS supplementary learners in the district's CECs are still
low and do not meet the learning requirements of the learners. If we
propose and apply an appropriate method to improve learning skills for
students .Providing knowledge about learning skills and training skills for
the staffs, Teachers and learners in the CECs; Completing the learning
process and flexibly apply it to the training of specific learning skills
Compiling a Teaching Portfolio on learning and training skills for
Complementary HS students ; Organizing training skills in the direction of
enhancing self-training skills of students; Using a variety of learning styles
for learners will improve the learning skills for learners and the learning
quality in the CECs.
5. Research Mission
5.1. Identify the theoretical and practical basis of the training
activity for Complementary HS students in the CECs.
5.2. Proposing measures to improve learning skills for
Complementary HS learners in the CECs.
5.3. Doing an Experimental Research to confirm the effectiveness of
the training method of learning skills for Complementary HS learners in
the CECs.
6. Reseach Range
- Researching method of training skills at HS students who are
studying at district-level CECs
- The surveyed areas are limited to district-level CECs in Bac Ninh
and Hoa Binh provinces.
- A pedagogical Experimental Research is conducted at Yen Phong
CEC, Bac Ninh.

7. Research Methodology and Method of Research
7.1. Research Methodology: Systematic approach; Comprehensive
approach; Operational approach.
7.2. Method of Research: Methodology of reasoning; Practical
research methods and data processing methods.
8. New contributions of the thesis
- Establishing the theoretical foundation of learning skills and
training skills for secondary school students in CECs
- Detecting the current studying and training skills status of HS
students in the CECs
- Proposing and confirming the effectiveness of the solution to
improve learning skills for upper secondary students in the CECs.
9. Structure of the thesis
In addition to the introduction, conclusion, recommendation, list of
references and annexes, the thesis consists of 3 chapters.
