What do students need to prepare when entering the new 6th grade program?

In order for 6th grade students to integrate and keep up with the learning pace and adapt to the new environment, especially when they are studying the 2018 General Education program that they have not yet accessed at lower levels, students and parents need to understand and understand a number of issues.

Students from grade 5 to grade 6 will have many surprises, especially when studying according to the 2018 General Education program with many new points.

Study by subject with duration of 45 minutes/subject

In junior high school, each teacher teaches a subject with a time limit of 45 minutes/subject, except for literature and math which have double periods of 90 minutes/subject. After each period, the next subject will be taught, so students must concentrate to listen, absorb, and master the knowledge of each period, subject, otherwise it will affect the next period, subject immediately after .

Many new subjects, new ways of learning

The 2023-2024 school year is the third year of implementing the 2018 General Education Program for grades 4, 8, and 11, in addition to grades 6, 7, and 10. New grade 6 students (old grade 5 students studying the 2006 program) are inevitably confused when approaching new subjects such as: Natural Sciences, History and Geography, Local Education Content, and Arts.

With the new program and new methods, teaching to develop students' abilities and qualities at the secondary level will be different from the hands-on teaching method at the primary level, so in order to study well and adapt quickly, students need to change their learning methods. Accordingly, in each lesson, students need to focus on listening to the teacher and taking notes of the knowledge content that the teacher guides. Teachers are only guides, while students are proactive in their own learning.

Testing and evaluation in a new way

Secondary school level conducts tests and evaluates students according to Circular 22/2021/TT-BGDDT, dated July 20, 2021. Evaluation by comments for subjects: Physical education, art, music, fine arts, local educational content, experiential activities, career guidance. Evaluation by comments combined with scores for subjects: Literature, math, foreign languages, civic education, natural sciences, history and geography, information technology...

The number of tests (score columns) corresponding to each subject varies based on the number of lessons for each subject according to regulations including: Regular tests, periodic tests (mid-term tests and final tests) at least 8 score columns/subject/year. Therefore, parents should pay attention to reminding their children to be proactive in studying, reviewing lessons and doing homework to achieve high results in the test.

Shopping with your child for school supplies for the new school year is also a way to help them gradually get used to returning to school.

Building self-learning awareness

Many parents send their children to extra classes in the summer before the 6th grade curriculum in subjects such as literature, math, and English in the hope of keeping up with their friends.

According to many teachers, with the 2018 General Education program, the content of knowledge ensures a moderate level, the requirements to be achieved in each lesson are suitable for students. So students only need to focus on studying at school and in class to meet the requirements without needing to take extra classes, except for those who are slow learners and need extra guidance from teachers. The most important and long-term thing is that teachers and parents train students to be self-studying, train them to have the habit of reviewing the knowledge they have learned after school and doing the exercises that teachers instruct regularly.

Preparing children for back to school

From next week, students in many localities will officially return to school. Nearly 3 months have passed Children are used to having time to rest and play, so now it is necessary to change the schedule when they return to school.

Parents should not wait until the last day of school to remind their children about studying. Go shopping for school supplies with your children, suggest interesting stories about studying, and stir up memories of friends in children to activate emotions and habits that have been temporarily interrupted during the summer months.

Arrange the summer schedule to gradually switch to the mode of adapting to 9 months of studying. Busy studying will drag children into the schedule with a dense schedule of regular classes, extra classes, gifted classes, club classes... The time for comfortable play in the summer needs to be shortened. Children need time to adapt to the adjustment and we should create opportunities for them to gradually integrate. Don't wait until the last minute to jump, tomorrow when school starts, you can still play carefree until late at night, the day after school starts, you still haven't covered your books yet.

The beginning of a new school year should not begin with yelling, scolding, or bullying from parents. Discuss clearly with your child about the school year plan, agree on how to adjust the appropriate routine. Train your child to sleep early and wake up early little by little. Gradually separate your child from mobile devices by limiting the usage time gradually...

The week of collective activities before the opening day is very important. It is the time for teachers and students to connect, to integrate into the school environment that has temporarily slowed down after 3 months of summer, and to practice the long-forgotten school rules. It is also a valuable time for parents to grasp the initial situation of their children when they return to school, to promptly detect signs of neglect in studying or negligence in attitude and behavior, and from there, to work with teachers to find appropriate and positive educational solutions.

The first day of school is coming, it's time for parents and children to get their spirits up to start the new school year.
