Introduction:This article presents the results of research and proposed measures to enhance the adaptability of first-grade students to the learning environment. Based on a solid theoretical foundation, the study clarifies the concept, characteristics, and factors influencing students' adaptation process when transitioning from preschool to primary school. Drawing on theoretical foundations and surveyed realities, the article proposes seven specific, practical, and feasible measures. These measures are designed to help first-grade students overcome initial difficulties in adapting to a new learning environment while fostering confidence and a positive attitude toward learning.
Methodology:The proposed measures include organizing activities to familiarize students with the classroom, designing engaging and relatable lessons, creating a friendly learning environment, collaborating with parents to support children, and promoting group activities to build solidarity. The study was conducted with an experimental group of 168 first-grade students (compared to a control group of 171 students) from two primary schools, Bến Thủy and Trung Đô, during the academic years 2022-2023 and 2023-2024. The experiment was systematically organized, utilizing quantitative measurement and evaluation methods to assess the effectiveness of the proposed measures.
Results:The research results indicate that the proposed measures significantly improve first-grade students' adaptability to learning activities. Students who experienced these measures not only adapted more quickly to the new learning environment but also exhibited a more positive attitude toward learning.
Conclusion:This affirms the feasibility and practical value of the measures in educational practice.
