THEORETICAL BASIS FOR EVALUATING THE BOARDING SCHOOL MODEL FOR ETHNIC MINORITY STUDENTS

1.1. History of research on the problem

Mobilizing the maximum number of children of primary and secondary school age to go to school and ensuring the maintenance of student numbers, improving the quality of education and ensuring the maintenance of universal secondary education standards in communes with particularly difficult socio-economic conditions has been given special attention by the Party, the State and local education management levels, schools, management staff and teachers. Secondary schools with boarding students according to regulations have been established and developed in particularly difficult communes nationwide, initially bringing practical results and being applied by many localities. This is an optimal and breakthrough solution to improve and enhance the quality of education in mountainous ethnic minority areas in communes with particularly difficult socio-economic conditions.

Through researching domestic documents, I have found a number of research works, articles, and documents focusing on developing boarding schools for ethnic minorities such as:

Documents at the Conference on boarding schools for ethnic minorities [26], on July 17, 2009, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Thien Nhan chaired the Conference on boarding schools for ethnic minorities in Dien Bien city, Dien Bien province. At the Conference, the Deputy Prime Minister highly appreciated the solution to implement the boarding school model for ethnic minorities in Dien Bien province, and at the same time directed that starting from the 2009-2010 school year, it is necessary to focus on immediately implementing the motto: "three enough" (enough food, enough clothes, enough books) for students in mountainous areas to go to school.

The conference opened up a “3 enough” opportunity for children of ethnic minorities in mountainous areas to study and enjoy preferential policies and feel secure going to school. After the conference, Circular No. 24/2010-TT-BGDDT of the Ministry of Education and Training promulgated regulations and organization of activities of boarding schools for ethnic minorities, Decision

No. 85/2010/QD-TTg of the Prime Minister promulgating a number of policies to support boarding students and boarding schools for ethnic minorities has been issued.

The research work of author Le Ma Luong [12] " Management of boarding students in Dong Son Secondary School, Tan Son District , Phu Tho Province " focuses on the content of management, organization, study routine, living and working conditions, production and entertainment of boarding students in Dong Son Secondary School, thereby proposing to management levels to pay attention and have a management mechanism for the type of secondary school in a particularly difficult commune with students in BTDN that is not a type of secondary school for ethnic minorities. This is a small-scale research work that only focuses on the management of boarding students in a secondary school unit, not mentioning the issue of organizing care and education activities.

The research work of author Pham Huy Tra [20] "Management model of boarding schools for ethnic minorities in extremely difficult communes of Ha Giang province" focuses on assessing the current status of organizing activities of boarding classes for ethnic minorities at primary and secondary levels, thereby proposing solutions to improve the management model of boarding schools for ethnic minorities in extremely difficult communes. In this research work, the author only focuses on in-depth research on the management model and organization of activities of boarding schools for ethnic minorities, not focusing on evaluating the effectiveness for ethnic minority students.

Project "Consolidating and developing the system of boarding schools for ethnic minorities in the period 2016-2025" [5] Documents at the Workshop on developing the system of boarding schools for ethnic minorities and general schools with students in mountainous ethnic minority areas in Da Nang on June 10, 2016 chaired by the Ministry of Education and Training, focusing on evaluating the work of nurturing and managing the boarding school model for ethnic minorities, managing self-study activities of students in boarding schools, fostering the capacity to organize educational activities for teachers in boarding schools, educating boarding students through extracurricular activities, building a system of facilities for boarding schools for ethnic minorities...

However, there are no scientific documents of high value on the form of evaluating the effectiveness of the boarding model specifically for a specific ethnic minority. There are no effective proposals or solutions to overcome the limitations and difficulties in the management and evaluation of the Principal in the contents of school activities such as organizational structure, infrastructure system, teaching equipment, teaching staff and students, coordination between family, school, society in educating students, policies for managers, teachers, students, teaching activities, education, care, and comprehensive nurturing of boarding students. For the above reasons, I chose the topic : "Evaluation of the boarding model for Mong ethnic students in Nam Po district" to research in order to build, perfect, propose tools and criteria to evaluate the effectiveness of the boarding model for Mong ethnic students, thereby proposing some measures in managing and organizing activities to care for, nurture and educate this type of school in Nam Po district, Dien Bien province in the coming time.

1.2. Some basic concepts

1.2.1. Model concept

Semantically, “A model in the narrow sense is a mold or standard according to which a mass product is manufactured; a device or mechanism that reproduces or imitates the structure and operation of another mechanism (of the prototype or the modeled thing) for scientific and production purposes”. In the broad sense, it is a conventional image (figuration, diagram, description, etc.) of an object (or a system of objects, processes and phenomena).

The concept of “Model” is widely applied in many different scientific fields: First of all, in terms of philosophy, the model is understood as “the display of the relationship between human knowledge of objects and the objects themselves. The model is not only a means but also one of the forms of cognition of knowledge, knowledge itself. In relation to theory, the model is not only a tool for searching for the possibilities of implementing the theory but also a tool for checking whether the connections, relationships, structures, and regularities expressed in that theory actually exist or not”.

In terms of scientific terminology, a model is understood as: “An object that creates something similar to another object in some way. If we call a a model of A, then a is the representation, and A is the representation. Between the representation and the representation there is an incomplete reflection.”

1.2.2 Boarding school model

The boarding model for ethnic minority students in areas with particularly difficult socio-economic conditions is specialized and specific, due to geographical location, difficult transportation, isolation, distance from home to school from 6km-30km, so students cannot go to school and return home during the day. Therefore, they are organized to live, eat, stay, feed and study at school from Monday to Saturday according to state support regulations.

From the above understanding, the author of the thesis believes that: The boarding model is an educational activity model that organizes students to study and live at school.

1.2.3. Evaluation in educational management.

Evaluation is the activities of management subjects to collect information and process the results of the operation and organization process.

The above functions are systematized by the following diagram:

Management object ( Object)

Plan

Check

Diagram 1.1. Diagram describing management functions

Thus, testing (evaluation) is one of the four main functions of the educational management system. From the perspective of modern management, from the management function systems, we can summarize some of the following functions:

+ Plan

+ Organization

+ Directing (including correcting, shaping and coordinating)

+ Inspection (including inspection, control, inventory, evaluation)

These functions are closely linked together, intertwined, when performing this function, other functions are often also present at different levels. The relationship between the basic functions of educational management is realized. In all educational management activities, educational management information plays an extremely important role, it is considered as the "blood vessel" of educational management activities.

Thus, the educational management process is the process of performing 4 functions: Planning, organizing, directing and evaluating to bring the educational system to the set goals - that is, improving people's knowledge, training human resources, and nurturing talents.

Evaluation of plan implementation (including evaluation, summary of plan implementation, reporting to the collective, the education and training sector and higher education management agencies) is the evaluation stage compared to the objectives of the plan, what results have been achieved? What results have not been achieved? What are the points that need to be learned from implementing the plan? The product of the evaluation and summary stage of plan implementation is a report on the achieved results, which clearly shows how to measure, evaluate and the lessons learned during the plan implementation process and prepares for the next management process.

Evaluation function is an important and indispensable function in the management process. From the above characteristics of evaluation, the author of the thesis can define evaluation in management as follows:

Evaluation in educational management is the process by which educational management subjects consider practice to perform the tasks of evaluating the current state of education and teaching.
