The first Finnish school in Hanoi, personalized education comes first
Tan Thoi Primary School and Primary School – Fun Academy (Ha Dong, Hanoi) is said to be the first Finnish school applying the Finnish educational method in Vietnam, the school focuses on developing according to the individual educational method. chemical.
The school principal, who has more than 10 years of educational management experience, said that although this is not the only school that talks about personalized education, in order to do it properly, preschool and Tan Thoi Dai Primary School (Ha Dong) has a better basis for implementation. Because of the small number of students and the small size (only 7 kindergarten and primary schools), the ratio of teachers to students is 1 teacher/3-4 students.
This allows the principal to meet all the parents right from the start, understanding each person’s thoughts and aspirations. The school also organizes many 1-on-1 lessons to tutor weak students and support gifted students to develop their strengths and strengths.
Activities at Tan Thoi Dai School.
With imbued with the Finnish educational method “every child is different and all have the right to learn what they need in life”, so it is not the child who is good at English, Math, and Vietnamese. gifted students such as art, singing, dancing, etc. are encouraged and have a development plan in the right direction. The 40 international awards already obtained is also a testament to the school’s successful application of personalized education.
Students have the right not to nap to do what they like
At New Times University, students have many options to spend their lunch break doing the things they enjoy. Therefore, some children have the right to choose to take a nap and also have the right to choose not to nap to play chess, read books, make handmade things…
This comes from respecting all differences and empowering children to make decisions, make choices, and understand self-responsibility.
Although many people think that parents will want their children to nap rather than stay up at noon because it can affect the quality of afternoon learning, the reality is quite the opposite.
Right from meeting the principal, visiting the facilities, parents understand that their children have the right not to nap if they don’t want to.
The result is very surprising that quite a lot of children choose not to take a nap so that they can play chess, knitting or read books… which does not affect the quality of their studies at all. Children, after clearly understanding about self-determination and self-responsibility at night, know how to go to bed earlier so that in the afternoon they can do the things they like.
“Strange subject” of family economics
Although there is a flexible learning program with many interesting subjects such as Move kid according to the Finnish method to teach children about safe movement, learning dance, chess, learning Finnish math with exciting games … but the subject that is specifically mentioned at school must be: Family Economics.
Primary school students will learn skills such as: Sewing, cooking, carpentry, gardening… That’s why the “miracle scarves” from small hands were born. This is not only an interdisciplinary product of Mathematics with measurement, calculation and sewing techniques, economics when calculating quantity, selling towels… but also a project to arouse love and unity. in each child by creating a fund of 120 million to support the children in Quang Binh.
With gardening, children not only know about vegetables, how to grow plants, understand the development of plants, but also know how to calculate vegetable harvest, sell vegetables, invest money to buy seeds and seedlings…
The products from the home economics course made by the students themselves, when sold to their parents and grandparents, also help them have funds to calculate the purchase of hooks and wool to knit scarves for children in Hoa Binh.
In general, Family Economics is also a subject in the Finnish educational method that the school pursues and applies to help children not only develop skills and knowledge associated with real life. , but also help students have thinking about family economy according to their age they can feel.
Parents get to experience a child’s day to understand their child
An annual activity that Tan Thoi Dai school maintains is the organization of “parents learning day”. That is the day when parents will have a whole day to experience the same as what their children did every day when going to school, from getting up on time, taking the bus, starting the morning, saluting the flag, studying, having lunch, Dance, Math, Writing, Singing…
This is not only an activity that makes parents understand the school and their children, but also an activity to help parents get excited about the method to help their children learn in happiness. Many parents said that after this experience, they had a better understanding of how to raise happy children that the school was aiming for.
More specifically, after this experience, the conversations between parents and children seem to be easier to understand when children tell stories at school and in class. Many parents, when learning classical dance in a panic, knew how to “submit” their children, the children confidently danced to the standard and skillful Cha Cha Cha dance.
Teaching children to dance is also one of the activities that the school aims to help its students become confident and active global citizens.
According to the school’s data published when surveying the satisfaction index of parents and students, the school itself was surprised because 100% of students enjoyed going to school, the “parents love school” index reached children. number 94%.
