______________________________________________________________

The study generally aims to investigate the current status of part-time

training programs of TUAF to enhance the management regulation policies.

Specifically, it aims to: determine the present status on the management of the

part-time training programs of TUAF as perceived by the respondents in terms

of: training facilities, teaching and learning activities, and curricula; find out if

there is any significant difference in the perception of the respondents by

province on the current status of the part-time training programs of TUAF in

terms of training facilities, teaching and learning activities, and curricula; and

prepare a management regulation policy. The descriptive survey method was

used in conducting this study using questionnaire as the main instrument. The

respondents were selected by random sample method composed of 304 out of

1,267 graduated student’s respondents were selected of 304 from 1,267 118

Instructors, 30 Local leaders per province from districts, and 300 from

Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, and Department of Natural

Resource and Environment Management. The researcher used the following

instruments such as questionnaires, direct interview, and question list to gather

the needed data. Weighted mean, Chi-square test of homogeneity, and one

way ANOVA were used to analyze data.

Based on the findings, it was concluded that training facilities such as

library and activity areas need improvement to meet social and economic

development demands. Most lecturers do not explain difficult matters,

especially practical and problem solving knowledge and skills, and job’s

direction for them. The lecturers are also having difficulty in checking and

testing student’s performance during their teaching activities Moreover,

students do not have enough time to prepare for their lessons before going to

classes because they have work and they are married. The present curriculum

of part-time training programs of TUAF are good and is closely related to socio￾economic development demands in the regions, but requires more focus on

group’s working and problem solving knowledge and skills, communication

skills, and the opportunity of selecting subjects to supply specific training

demands of students in different provinces. The three sets of respondents’

answers were observed to have significant difference in certain areas and no

difference in others for they come from three different provinces that have

different needs and demands in the part-time training program of TUAF. Finally,

the management regulation policy constructed based on the results of the data

gathered in this study is now ready for implementation.

The conclusions drawn from the research results the dissertation

suggests that authorized institutions should be concerned for the development

of these training programs by implementing the management regulation policy

created in this study so as to build up social support and encourage policies for

students of part-time training programs, especially for students who are working

in communes of remote, boarding, island, and ethnic people group’s regions.

Provincial leaders should support provincial training centers to improve their

15

training infrastructure by determining exactly training majors to meet their

specific socio-economic development demands in each truth development

stage. The Ministry of Education and Training may build up specific student’s

affair regulation for part-time training programs by reviewing and innovating

present management regulation policies for them to be more appropriate,

concrete and easy to apply. Finally, Universities in Vietnam should develop

training curricula which are more flexible to meet specific demands of each

province. Among of that should improve practical and job’s knowledge and

skills, enhancement of ability and responsibility of departments of controlling,

checking and educational quality insurance. They should likewise cooperate if

they organize part-time courses in the same provincial training center.
