To prevent innovation from being "magically"

(Baonghean) - Scientific research and summarizing educational experience initiatives (SKKN) are extremely important activities in schools at all levels. In recent years, this activity of the industry has achieved many encouraging results. The quantity and quality of SKKN participating in industry-level rankings have increased day by day. The number of works winning prizes at the Provincial Science and Technology Innovation Contest accounts for a large proportion compared to the number of works participating in the competition in the whole province. However, besides the achievements, this activity still reveals some limitations and shortcomings that need to be adjusted and overcome soon.

Currently, writing SKKN in many schools is being implemented in a large scale. New teachers who have just started working under the form of a first-year contract are also required to summarize SKKN, while for them, the working time and practical experience are too short, so they encounter many difficulties. Therefore, many newly graduated pedagogical students focus on collecting and preparing many SKKN topics in their major that have been completed from many sources for use when necessary.

Unknowingly, right from the beginning of their career, many teachers are in a position where they have to deal with writing SKKN. Because there are no specific regulations on the subjects of writing SKKN, there are cases where female teachers who have been on maternity leave for more than a semester also have to write. Then the SKKN of the Group - Professional Block is also regularly implemented every year. Therefore, in one school year, some teachers have to complete up to two SKKN to meet the requirements, in which one copy is for the individual and one copy is for the group - block according to the rotational assignment. This has led to the situation of copying and coping in writing SKKN that is still happening. Just "moving regions" to bring SKKN from other districts and provinces and editing the information accordingly is enough to complete one of the key requirements of the school year.

To somewhat limit this situation, there should be specific and strict regulations for those who are required to write and summarize scientific research projects. This regulation needs to consider and consider the working time and be associated with the year-end competition title of each teacher, professional group - block and school unit. In addition, it is necessary to require the registration of the scientific research project topic to be implemented right from the beginning of the school year.

At the same time, the council for acceptance and evaluation of scientific research works at the school level is also established from the beginning of the school year to outline a plan for inspection and evaluation of progress through each stage. For the council for acceptance and evaluation of scientific research works at the district level at all levels, it is necessary to quickly have a plan to count the scientific research works that have reached level 3 and level 4 in previous school years by subject and by author to avoid the situation where some colleagues with many years of experience only need to use the accepted scientific research works in rotation. The Department of Education and Training needs to have a document directing schools to seriously review the management staff, teachers, and employees whose scientific research works are not classified due to duplication or copying on the internet. The lowest form is not to consider the emulation titles of the school year for these subjects.

The reality is that to invest in writing a scientific research project that has practical application value, the writer must devote a lot of effort to research and ponder. Many scientific research projects ranked at level 3 are highly appreciated and there are even scientific research projects ranked at level 4 at the provincial level, but the honoring of authors and especially the dissemination and application work is still very small and limited. It is thought that the Department of Education and Training needs to pay special attention to promoting the dissemination and application of scientific research results that have practical value and are suitable for regional characteristics. It could be in the form of organizing seminars and reporting on typical scientific research projects in the whole district; compiling and printing a book of proceedings on scientific research projects that have been evaluated at high levels at all levels recently with wide applicability as specialized activity materials for schools to refer to and study...
