Basic Viewpoints Guiding Innovation, Improving Quality and Effectiveness of Management and Implementation of Llct Education Programs at Training Centers:

3.1.2- Basic viewpoints guiding the innovation, improvement of quality and effectiveness of management and implementation of LLCT education programs at vocational training centers:

To improve the political capacity and intelligence of the Party, one of the tasks that needs to be done in the coming time has been clearly stated in the Resolution of the 10th National Party Congress as: "Innovating the work of political theory and ideology education in the Party, first of all for the team of leaders and key cadres at all levels; innovating the content, methods of learning and teaching in the political school system, improving the practicality and effectiveness of the program" [26, p.131].

The basic viewpoints guiding the innovation and improvement of the quality and effectiveness of the management and implementation of the LLCT education program at district-level vocational training centers in the coming period must be correct and inherit the results achieved after more than 12 years of launching this model. At the same time, we must continue to improve to further promote the effectiveness of this model in the following stages. We can see some basic viewpoints as follows:

Firstly, innovation and improvement of the quality and effectiveness of management and implementation of the LLCT education program at district-level vocational training centers must be based on linking organizational and staff planning with the training, fostering and use process.

Maybe you are interested!

The scale, content and form of operation of the Center must be based on the implementation of political tasks of the Party Committee and government on planning and training of cadres.

The requirements of the current industrialization and modernization process of the country require planning for many lines and many types of cadres. On that basis, depending on each subject, every year a number of cadres will be sent to study at the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, the Provincial Political School, or universities, colleges, and secondary schools.

Other professional training. A large number of grassroots cadres with many different subjects within the training scope of the district-level Vocational Training Center have plans to improve their theoretical and professional qualifications.

The scale of operation of the Centers must be based on the general direction of the Central Propaganda Department, the Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda Department, and local Party committees. At the same time, the Center's operations must also be based on the tasks of socio-economic development, Party building work, and a number of other specific tasks in the area, linking planning with training and use.

Second, innovation and improvement of the quality and effectiveness of management and implementation of the LLCT education program at district-level vocational training centers in the coming period must be carried out in a synchronous and unified manner.

In recent years, the activities of the Centers have gradually become more organized, gradually promoting their roles at the local and grassroots levels. However, after more than 12 years of managing and implementing the LLCT education program, some difficulties and limitations of the Centers also need to be resolved soon, from the program content; teaching methods; structure and team of lecturers, part-time lecturers; policies; facilities as well as the coordination of district-level agencies and departments in creating conditions for the Centers to operate.

Development requirements in the coming time show that the management and implementation of LLCT education programs at the Centers can only be effective when those innovations are carried out synchronously from top to bottom and are implemented uniformly nationwide on common issues of the model whose correctness has been tested in practice, while taking into account the characteristics of regions, areas, rural areas and urban areas.

Third, it is necessary to attach importance to the effective perspective in innovating the management of implementing the LLCT education program at district-level vocational training centers.

The management of the implementation of the LLCT education program at the Centers in the coming time will be greatly influenced by the viewpoint of solving principled problems for this type. There is an opinion that the Center should only operate within a narrow scope in terms of both objects and scale because there are currently many types of centers in the locality. In addition, the fact that some places organize classes ineffectively, with low quality, even if they are okay, if they are not okay, the district-level Party school model has been abandoned for many years without any great impact,... This is a very one-sided view.

However, there is also another approach that the Center needs to expand into many other areas, including cultural functions and various services, which leads to only focusing on increasing the Center's income by all means while neglecting its political tasks. Therefore, when considering the effectiveness aspect, a comprehensive view is needed.

Fourth, innovating and improving the quality and effectiveness of managing the implementation of the LLCT education program at district-level training centers in the coming period must ensure both handling and solving urgent problems in the immediate future and paying attention to basic, long-term requirements.

This is also an issue that has arisen in the management of the Centers in recent times. There are still many problems with the content of the programs, especially the handling of some theoretical and practical issues, the overlap in some programs; issues regarding policy mechanisms, staff planning, the interconnectivity of the training and development process between the Center and the Provincial and Municipal Political Schools and the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics; issues of linking training and use, etc. need to be considered and handled to ensure immediate effectiveness, with attention to basic and long-term requirements.

Program implementation management methods need to be innovated towards process approach (development approach) and integrated approach (integrating all 3).

approach mentioned in section 1.1 of Chapter 1, select positive aspects to study and apply appropriately).

3.2- Some specific measures

3.2.1- It is necessary to raise awareness of Party committees at all levels regarding the management and implementation of the LLCT education program at the training centers in an effective and practical manner.

The importance of educating cadres from the grassroots up must be instilled in local Party committees, considered mandatory, a regular task, an indispensable standard for each person, each locality, and unit; helping them to be more aware of their responsibilities to the Party, to the people, and to the new destiny of the country.

- Objective of the measure:

+ When there is a correct awareness of the position, role, and importance of the management work of implementing the LLCT education program at the TTBDCT in the new revolutionary period, the Party committees at all levels will pay attention to leadership and direction to successfully complete this task;

+ Those who manage and implement LLCT education programs at vocational training centers will have favorable conditions to better complete their assigned tasks.

- Content of the measure:

+ Thoroughly disseminate the Party's directives and resolutions on political ideology education to key cadres at the provincial, district and communal levels. These are the comrades who directly lead and manage the implementation of the political ideology education program at the Centers;

+ Each cadre and party member, first of all leaders, must have a regular plan to improve their political level; practice moral qualities and lifestyle.

live, maintain revolutionary stance; improve knowledge and practical capacity, meet task requirements in the new revolutionary stage;

+ It is necessary to continue to seriously implement Regulation No. 54-QD/TW dated May 12, 1999 of the Politburo on "Regime for studying political theory in the Party". Each cadre must be self-conscious and comply well with the regime for studying political theory in the Party as prescribed by the Party Central Committee. That is the first necessary condition for each person.

- Conditions for implementing measures:

+ Based on the Central's guidance, the province needs to develop a plan to thoroughly grasp and implement the Party's directives and resolutions on ideological education at district-level political education centers in the province through information channels (oral propaganda, press, conferences, seminars, etc.); direct the Party committees at all levels in the province to organize implementation and regularly inspect and urge;

+ It is necessary to build a suitable management mechanism, create a favorable environment for staff to practice and build a democratic and scientific working style.

3.2.2- Strengthening the Party's leadership, coordination between sectors and promoting people's mastery in training and fostering cadres and party members at the grassroots level

The Party leads the work of cadres, manages and trains cadres according to the principle of democratic centralism. The Resolution of the 17th Provincial Party Congress clearly stated: "Correctly implement the principle of the Party's unified leadership of cadre work and cadre management. Enhance the responsibility of Party committees, leaders of Party agencies, government, the Fatherland Front and mass organizations, heads of agencies and units in cadre work" [24. p.63].

The Party Committee must directly take care of building a contingent of cadres for the entire political system in all fields; implement cadre guidelines and policies through Party organizations and Party members in State agencies and mass organizations.

people; strictly implement the regulations, planning, laws of the State and the charters of mass organizations and social organizations in managing the staff in combination with promoting the mastery of the working people.

Training and retraining of cadres must be carried out regularly and continuously to have additional resources when necessary and to overcome the shortage of cadres. In the current revolutionary period, when the requirement to apply scientific and technological advances into life is very urgent, the training and retraining of cadres and party members must be given more attention by the Party Committee and become a regular task. Only then can we fully equip them with basic knowledge to help them adapt to the new development requirements of the country and the province in the integration process.

The urgent task now is to identify the training and development needs of each type of cadre in order to develop a very specific training plan. Trained cadres must be assigned specific tasks at the grassroots level to challenge and train them; thereby helping them apply the theoretical knowledge they have learned and their intellectual abilities that have been trained to solve specific tasks. Through this, the talents and strengths of cadres can be discovered to serve as a basis for using and assigning the right people to the right jobs later. Practical experience shows that the mass movement is a favorable environment for training and developing cadres.

Training and development must be associated with the work of organizing and planning cadres. With the right planning, there will be the right policy and direction for training and development. Therefore, the work of planning cadres must be very careful, ensuring scientificity right from the stage of creating sources and selecting and training cadres. Only then can we ensure the inheritance, development and quality of cadres.

- Objective of the measure:

+ Ensuring the Party's leadership in the work of educating political ideology, while increasing the effectiveness of coordination with related sectors such as: Personnel organization, finance, political and social organizations, etc.;

+ Promote people's mastery in training and fostering cadres and party members at the grassroots level;

+ Students can boldly speak up about issues they need to learn, clarify, or can exchange and debate opinions and issues that have not yet reached a consensus.

- Content of the measure:

+ The Propaganda Departments at provincial and district levels need to promptly advise the Party Committees to issue leadership and direction documents on the management and implementation of the military education program at the military training centers at specific times; have clear assignments and responsibilities for sectors and organizations; at the same time, issue documents regulating the working relationship between the military training centers at district levels in the province and sectors at provincial and district levels to ensure close coordination in the management and implementation of the military education program;

+ Based on the Central Government's directive documents and local conditions, the Centers should closely coordinate with sectors and organizations to expand and diversify forms of training and fostering of cadres, creating favorable conditions for cadres to study;

+ Implement well the democratic regulations at the grassroots level, promote the people's mastery through social organizations, unions, direct mastery through forms of people's self-management, conventions, village covenants, etc. in accordance with customs and laws of the State;

+ Through the way of posing problems in each lecture or opinion polls so that cadres, party members and all classes of people at the grassroots level can actively

Participate in giving opinions on program content, teaching methods, management methods, etc. for each specific program at the Centers;

+ Encourage students to actively participate in the LLCT education process, dare to think and speak out what they are still wondering and struggling with for exchange and discussion.

- Conditions for implementing measures:

+ Party committees and authorities at all levels need to pay attention to doing a good job of planning, training and fostering grassroots party members to meet the requirements of local socio-economic development tasks; pay due attention to the work of selecting ethnic minority cadres for training and fostering;

+ Leaders and experts of the Propaganda Department at provincial and district levels must carefully study the directives and leadership documents of the Central Propaganda Department and the actual situation of the locality to advise the Party Committee on the management and implementation of the correct and appropriate LLCT education program;

+ Relevant levels and sectors from the province to the grassroots level need to have a certain understanding of the work of educating political ideology and coordinate closely, creating conditions for the political ideology centers to fulfill their tasks and functions well;

+ Lecturers must actively research both theory and practice, presenting problematic situations to stimulate dynamism and creativity in students' thinking when teaching and learning.

3.2.3- Continue to direct innovation in content and teaching and learning methods, apply new methods in LLCT education at vocational training centers

In teaching, in addition to some traditional methods, it is necessary to give due importance to the problem-based teaching method. Because the students at the Centers are mostly older people who have experience in work. Moreover, the specific nature of the subject of Marxist-Leninist theory requires educational work,

Dissemination must be associated with solving complex and contradictory problems of reality. Teaching LLCT at the Centers cannot be in the way of transmitting the entire content of the curriculum and students passively receiving it, but must find ways to stimulate students to make efforts to think independently, be proactive in receiving knowledge and know how to apply it flexibly and creatively in each field and each specific case occurring in the locality.

Problem-based learning creates the best possibility for teaching political theory to be closely linked to life and the Party's policies. To teach problem-based learning effectively, it is necessary to have a very elaborate preparation process; determine the nature and problematic situations of the lecture; investigate the level of students to choose the method to create situations for the lecture. To apply this method, the teaching staff must pay due attention to the following requirements:

- Can put students before phenomena and events of life, requiring them to apply Marxist-Leninist theoretical knowledge to explain the nature of those phenomena.

- It is possible to ask questions based on a selection of arguments and knowledge in the lecture, linking it with real-life phenomena in the locality to explain and interpret.

- Questions can be asked based on the basic content of the lecture, requiring students to apply their existing knowledge and theoretical level, and refer to documents to answer.

- Can compare and contrast contradictory phenomena or opinions that need to be clarified to reach the right conclusion, contrast common concepts with scientific concepts about an object or phenomenon.

Creating a problem situation needs to be done in a logical way, facilitating the transition to expressing the problem naturally (or the learning problem is right in the question of the problem situation).

Teaching with this method requires careful preparation, and conventional lesson plans cannot meet the requirements. Lecturers need to compile a teaching "script" and structure the lecture so that information and problem-posing are subtly combined. On the other hand, problem-posing cannot be taught spontaneously, it requires understanding the program, textbook, guidance documents, references, and a series of scientific and pedagogical organizational measures... That requires lecturers to persevere in research and be passionate about the cause of LLCT education.

Implementing the above-mentioned innovations in content and teaching and learning methods, the management and implementation of the LLCT education program at district-level training centers has followed the development approach, suitable for the times. Lecturers can fully grasp the ideological developments as well as the development process of students. At that time, students are considered the center, the proactive and active participants in the educational process; lecturers become advisors providing information, guiding students to search or collect information, suggesting ways to handle situations that occur in practice. That activity contributes to turning the educational process into a self-education process.

- Objective of the measure:

Help lecturers and students quickly access modern science and technology of the new era, improve the quality of political education for cadres and party members at the grassroots level.

- Content of the measure:

+ Based on the documents compiled and guided by the Central Propaganda Department, based on the trainees of each program, the Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda Department and the District Party Committee's Propaganda Department need to research and direct timely addition to the training program of practical local contents such as: Socio-economic situation, policies

new policies of the province, about typical advanced examples in various fields, about traditional education, about experience in handling situations at the grassroots level, etc.;

+ The Propaganda Department of the provincial and district Party Committees needs to strengthen the inspection and supervision of the ideological content of lecturers' lectures; direct the innovation of inspection and assessment of trainees, and coordinate smoothly between the forms of writing reports, doing essays in class, questions and answers, etc.; focus on practical connections and pay attention to the assessment of social forces on trainees after training and fostering; the learning results of trainees after each session must be sent to the locality and unit for reporting;

+ Directing lecturers to harmoniously combine traditional teaching methods (going to class, focusing on listening to lectures, reading, taking notes, etc.) with modern teaching methods; increasing the time for exchange and dialogue between lecturers and students about issues that are still troubling or worrying or issues about handling situations at the facility; harmoniously using audio-visual technical means in teaching and learning, helping students to acquire knowledge more easily and conveniently. Through modern teaching and learning support means, stimulate students' desire to learn and research.

+ The Center for Advanced Study needs to expand its exchange and cooperation with scientific, educational, cultural, political and economic organizations and agencies to contribute to improving practical knowledge and working relationships; attach importance to professional training, periodically arrange tours and exchange work experience both domestically and internationally for the Center's leaders so that they have the opportunity to learn and exchange experiences.

- Conditions for implementing measures:

+ The Central and Provincial Governments create conditions to provide technical means, open training classes for lecturers; compile teaching and learning materials suitable for new technical means (such as documentaries, electronic lesson plans, etc.);

+ The teaching staff must actively research and promptly update new information to serve the lectures, approach modern teaching methods; avoid being conservative, stagnant, and afraid of innovation.

3.2.4- Organize training for management staff, lecturers, part-time lecturers, and reporters on developing LLCT education programs according to new approaches.

The team of managers, lecturers and reporters plays a particularly important and decisive role in the quality and effectiveness of the management and implementation of the LLCT education program at the Centers. Even if the program and curriculum are good and other conditions are guaranteed, if this team of staff lacks experience, capacity and passion for the profession, the quality will be difficult to ensure.

In reality, the teaching staff of district-level training centers in the province are currently mostly not standardized in terms of professional qualifications and teaching methods. Moreover, some lecturers have not paid attention to training in dialectical thinking methods. With the current level and thinking methods, this team has not met the requirements of the tasks they undertake. The approval of lesson plans, observation, testing, and evaluation of the quality of teaching hours and lectures have not been uniformly directed by the Central Government as well as by district-level training centers in the province. That has a direct impact on the quality of teaching at the Centers.

Therefore, the province needs to urgently research and have effective measures to foster professional skills for the team of lecturers and part-time lecturers of the Centers.

- Objective of the measure:
