“Nowadays, primary school students have to study day and night, and take extra classes. As for us, we follow the Educational Technology program of Professor Ho Ngoc Dai. The knowledge is taught by teachers at school using a good method. At home, our parents don’t need to teach us anything. We can play or learn knowledge outside of books.”

That is the sharing of Mr. Nguyen Hong Vinh - a student of the 3rd course of the Educational Technology program (CNGD) of Professor Ho Ngoc Dai at Experimental Primary School (Hanoi).

Need a team of experts to analyze and evaluate

As a student of the second course of the CNGD program of Professor Ho Ngoc Dai, Mr. Tran Hong Quang (working in the field of investment consulting, currently the Honorary Consul General of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in Hanoi) expressed his opinion: “Public opinion criticized the experimental program of Technology Education of Professor Ho Ngoc Dai in an indignant and harsh way while only through what people saw (or only heard) about the method of teaching Vietnamese.

If you want to research and debate in depth, you need a team of experts to analyze and evaluate. Evaluation is not just sitting in a group and then drawing conclusions. You need to implement a practical evaluation of how that method is applied in teaching and you need to put yourself in the position of a 6-year-old child, not an adult with or without expertise but with… prejudices. In addition, evaluation takes time, a process."

Second, the Experimental education method is not only about Vietnamese or Math, but it is about creating a free environment for students to develop their own advantages and potentials. Students are encouraged first of all to express their opinions and feelings in all aspects of life at school as well as at home and in society. Know how to be independent and know how to love and help others.

Teaching a 6 year old child these things cannot be done through theory but must be done through practice. This is the meaning of the word "Experiment" and not an experiment on humans as people think.

The fact that the Experimental students consider themselves "guinea pigs" is just a joke (which is also a characteristic of the Experimental) and also shows our pride in the process of implementing the teaching and learning method. It is important to understand that this is a matter of student participation, not just a teaching method, it is an interactive relationship between teachers and students.

“What remains in each person who has studied at the Experiment is different. For me, it is the awareness that we are not the same, so we need to learn to respect the differences, rights and values ​​of each individual.

Experimental students are ordinary people, nothing special, but that learning environment has helped students realize those seemingly simple things that are increasingly lacking in our society," Mr. Quang shared.

Is it true that the current teacher training and coaching process is not systematic?

Journalist Ha Viet Anh - former Editorial Secretary of Mother & Baby magazine, a former student of Experimental School, said that whoever speaks out to deny the Educational Technology program has the right to do so. However, the program and spirit of Educational Technology have brought many generations of Experimental students different experiences and values.

The female journalist shared: "There have been at least 40 courses of students from the Experimental School who have followed this method and we have not encountered any problems, our parents are completely satisfied with our studies, we still use Vietnamese in our daily life and work very normally and effectively.

Dear parents, when your children reach school age, what do you expect most?

In my opinion, there are two things. One is to hope that my children will be happy, enjoy going to school, love school, love class, love teachers and friends. Two is to hope that my children will be independent and confident to confidently step into a difficult life. CNGD has done both of these things excellently. When I was a child, my sisters and I always wanted to go to school, wanted to see our teachers and friends. Decades later, my children and grandchildren, even with a fever of 39 degrees, still insist on going to school.

We may not be as famous and successful as mathematician Ngo Bao Chau, as doctor - National Assembly Representative Nguyen Lan Hieu or many other Experimental students, but we are always confident in ourselves, always live kindly and harmoniously with everyone. Because wherever we go and whatever we do, we always remember the lessons of love, gratitude, responsibility, daring to speak, daring to do... that Mr. Dai and the teachers, no matter what subject they teach, always nurture in us humane values ​​of life through each lesson.

It is true that spelling does not make children smarter or more talented than others, but thanks to the educational method (educational philosophy) of Professor, Doctor of Science Ho Ngoc Dai and his colleagues, we, the 40-year-old generation of students still called "experimental", have learned to think logically since we were very young, learned to walk the path of scientists "try - fail - try again", and built our own knowledge from the suggestions of teachers according to the principles: "teachers design - students construct", "take students as the center of the lecture".

The approaches to knowledge learned from my childhood at the Experimental School I brought with me to my years studying abroad at the number 1 school in Russia, they helped me a lot in studying and researching languages".

Journalist Ha Viet Anh said that the Educational Technology program has brought many generations of students at the Experimental School valuable values ​​and luggage.

According to Ms. Viet Anh, she personally did not encounter any difficulties or problems when studying the CNGD program of Professor Ho Ngoc Dai.

"Perhaps because at that time our teachers were trained and shared regularly by Professor Ho Ngoc Dai, and the teachers were extremely dedicated and loved children. Perhaps now some people criticize educational technology because the training and teacher training is not systematic and often leads to confusion for teachers, and parents are not fully informed about the methods that the school will apply, causing confusion and concern?", the journalist asked.

Students do not have to struggle and bury their heads in books.

As a student of the 3rd class of the CNGD program of Professor Ho Ngoc Dai at Experimental Primary School (Hanoi), Mr. Nguyen Hong Vinh said: "In fact, until now, former Experimental students like me have all grown up, have not gone to school for a long time, but the whole generation has had the opportunity to talk and share, and all feel lucky to have enjoyed the CNGD method of Professor Ho Ngoc Dai, to study in a more relaxed environment compared to students of the same period and compared to primary school students today."

When asked if parents are worried about not being able to tutor their children at home, since the teaching of this program is the responsibility of teachers, Mr. Vinh said: "In fact, the choice of which school to send their children to for first grade is made by the parents. Most parents at the Experimental School also understand and trust them, so they make that choice."

As a former Experimental student, with his experience, Mr. Vinh affirmed that the Technology Education program of Professor Ho Ngoc Dai is very effective, helping students not to be too stressed and burdened with studying.

“And now that I am over 40 years old, I see that my classmates who studied in the same program at that time all grew up “not too bad”. That means, with a good teaching method, students will not have to worry too much, or bury their heads in books day and night but still get good results.

Former students of the Experimental School studying the Educational Technology program visited Professor Ho Ngoc Dai. Many said they were lucky to study the Educational Technology program.

Therefore, when I hear criticism and “stone throwing” about Vietnamese Language - CNGD online, I am not really concerned about public opinion “following” the trend. In the end, the truth is the truth,” Vinh shared.

Mr. Vinh added: At Experimental School, we learn a lot and experience that environment more than other normal schools, so when students grow up, they have the ability to plan very well, have vision and are less likely to waver.

Now a father, Vinh believes that modern parents should let their children grow up the way they want, should not interfere in their children's education, but should provide open guidance.

"Why do my children have to be like me, instead of learning what they like, how they like, and becoming the person they want to be? That is something that many Vietnamese people find hard to accept," said the former Experimental student.
