Abstract

The study focuses on surveying and evaluating the current state of management of information technology (IT) applications in teaching at junior high schools (JHS) in Sam Son ward, Thanh Hoa province. Following the orientation toward building digital schools, a survey was conducted with 57 management staff members at 5 public secondary schools; data were processed using descriptive statistics. The results show that the management of the application of information technology in teaching and learning is at a fairly good level; in particular, the organisation and direction of implementation activities were rated higher than those of other activities, such as assessment and evaluation. Schools have developed digital transformation plans, utilising digital learning materials and online teaching platforms. However, the development of shared digital databases and learning materials, and the innovation in assessment and evaluation using digital technology, still face certain limitations. Based on the research results, this article proposes several measures to improve the effectiveness of managing the application of information technology in teaching, assessment, and evaluation, thereby promoting digital transformation and developing a digital school model in current secondary education.
