Abstract

This article analyzes the current status of self-study skills among students at the National College of Education, Ho Chi Minh City, in the course “Disease prevention and safety for preschool children.” Survey results show that students still face limitations in awareness, methodology, and attitude during the self-study process. The author presents practical experiences in organizing eff ective self-study activities, including planning, skill guidance, assessment innovation, and promoting learning initiatives. Self-study activities closely linked to professional situations help students develop critical thinking and problem-solving competence.

Keywords: Skills, self-study, students, course, disease prevention and safety for preschool children.
