Vietnamese High School Students’ Perceptions of Academic Advising

Son Van Huynh, Vinh-Long Tran-Chi

Abstract


The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the current existing obstacle and Vietnamese high school students’ need for academic advising. A group of 1,200 children (449 boys and 751 girls from grade 6 through 12) from seven high schools participated in the survey. They completed a 24-item questionnaire about their study obstacle and academic advising need. The results showed a significant positive correlation between high school students’ current existing obstacles and their need for academic advising. Moreover, the average point of high school students’ current existing study obstacles was 2.67 and the need for academic advising was 3.18. The results suggested high school students facing obstacles in their study have the need to be consulted on these difficulties. Different school levels and living conditions result in different current obstacles and needs of academic advising during their study.
