However, this topic has received little attention in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam. To address this gap, a study was conducted with 107 first-year TESOL-major students in the Foreign Languages Faculty at Dong Thap University. They were invited to complete a set of questionnaires to explore their perceptions and practices regarding group autonomy behind class. The findings revealed that the majority of students understood the importance and role of group autonomy in their learning process. However, the results also indicated that just half of them could learn autonomously without teacher requirements, and group work frequency was quite low. This study provides valuable insights into the literature on autonomous learning in the local context.","PeriodicalId":502431,"journal":{"name":"Dong Thap University Journal of Science","volume":"21 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140720383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, there is a high demand for professionals with new skills and competencies and high-quality leaders and managers in the context of globalization and international integration. Previous studies focused on developing skills and competences of teaching staff, evaluating teaching performance, and improving professional competences. Research on developing administrative and managerial competences for university leaders and managers, especially in Mekong Delta region was rare. Therefore, this study aims to (1) evaluate the measures and the performance of educating and training activities and (2) propose some potential solutions for developing university administrative and managerial competences for leaders and managers in public universities in Mekong Delta. The study employed a non-experimental mix research method (qualitative and quantitative) using a survey questionnaire.
