Nội dung chính của bài viết

Tóm tắt

Rèn luyện kỹ năng cho sinh viên là một vấn đề đáng chú ý ở nhiều quốc gia, bao gồm cả Việt Nam, một quốc gia đang phát triển ở châu Á, nơi việc tiếp thu kiến thức dường như là mục tiêu chủ đạo của sinh viên đại học. Nhằm trang bị cho sinh viên những kỹ năng cần thiết cho công việc sau khi tốt nghiệp, các khóa học mới và chuyên biệt đã được xây dựng tại một trường đại học, bao gồm: Kỹ năng thuyết trình, Giao tiếp liên văn hóa và giải quyết xung đột, Tiếng Anh phát triển nghề nghiệp và Tiếng Anh kinh tế và doanh nghiệp. Tất cả các khóa học đều được giảng dạy bằng tiếng Anh và giảng viên đã áp dụng mô hình học tập trải nghiệm của Kolb để phát triển các hoạt động trong các lớp học này. Nghiên cứu này mô tả việc áp dụng mô hình học tập trải nghiệm vào các khóa học mới này và tìm hiểu kinh nghiệm của giảng viên trong việc tích hợp học tập trải nghiệm vào lớp học để tìm ra những lợi ích và thách thức của hướng tiếp cận này, đặc biệt là khi giảng viên đang cố gắng phát triển các kỹ năng nghề nghiệp cho sinh viên - một mục tiêu quan trọng của các khóa học. Phân tích dữ liệu định tính từ các cuộc phỏng vấn với 9 giảng viên cho thấy các giảng viên đã sử dụng đa dạng các hoạt động học tập trải nghiệm để tạo động lực cho sinh viên cũng như hỗ trợ sinh viên tiếp thu kiến thức và kỹ năng thực hành. Hơn nữa, với những hoạt động này, sinh viên được phát triển các kỹ năng nghề nghiệp quan trọng như: sáng tạo, kỹ năng hợp tác hoặc kỹ năng giao tiếp. Những phát hiện này cho thấy học tập trải nghiệm là một phương pháp đầy hứa hẹn để trang bị cho sinh viên các kỹ năng việc làm trước khi tốt nghiệp và sẵn sàng cho công việc trong tương lai.
