Vietnam Grade 3 Curriculum - Experience Activities

Experience Activities are a recent addition to the Vietnamese primary school curriculum, introduced in 2023. They are a compulsory part of the curriculum from Grade 1 through Grade 12. In primary school, Experience Activities are integrated into Phase 1 (Grades 1-3), alongside subjects like Vietnamese Language, Mathematics, Morality, Nature and Society, Arts, Physical Education, and Foreign Language.

The focus of Experience Activities in primary school is on developing life skills and providing practical, hands-on learning experiences. These activities aim to build student competency through experiential learning.

While the specific activities may vary, research suggests examples such as hand-making dough and games. Other examples of experience activities include career orientation investigations and presentations. Experience tours related to cultural heritage have also been mentioned.

It's worth noting that implementing Experience Activities presents challenges for teachers due to limitations in teaching resources and the need for updated teaching methods.
