Factors Influencing the Management of Teaching Activity Change in High Schools According to Fullan's Model

Abstract: In the context of fundamental and comprehensive reform of general education in Vietnam, managing changes in teaching activities (TA) in high schools has become an urgent requirement. This study focuses on analyzing the factors influencing the management of TA changes based on Michael Fullan’s model. Grounded in the theoretical framework of three stages of change (initiation, implementation, and institutionalization) along with core principles, the paper highlights that the success of change depends on a combination of multiple factors: (1) leadership roles and strategic vision in initiating, coordinating, and sustaining innovation; (2) human factors, including teachers’ readiness, competence, and beliefs, together with active student participation; (3) organizational factors, reflected in flexible management structures and a collaborative school culture; and (4) contextual factors, particularly policies, resources, and support from families and communities. The research findings contribute to providing scientific arguments for school management, affirming that applying Fullan’s model enhances the effectiveness of teaching innovation in alignment with the General Education Curriculum 2018 and the trend of international integration.
