CONTENTS Chapter 1 THEORIES OF THE ARTISTIC EDUCATION 1.1. Art and the conception of art education 1.1.1. Art Art is conceived and interpreted differently according awareness of the different philosophical perspectives in the awareness history in general and awareness of the arts in particular. The appearance of Marxist-Leninist philosophy has brought the great turning point in the development history of aesthetic ideas and solved in a scientifically manner the nature of art. Marxist - Leninist aesthesis has put art in true place as a product of highly leveled consciousness of human; as a product of the creative activity of human with the selected materials or format (music, dance, theater, sculpture, painting ...) to convey ideas, feelings, practical activities of human to create works satisfying the enjoy pleasure. 1.1.2.

Chapter 3 DISCUSSION ON THE STUDY FINDINGS AND APPLICATION IN ART EDUCATION FOR CURRENT SOLDIERS THROUGH SONGS ABOUT UNCLE HO’S SOLDIERS 3.1. Discussion on the study findings 3.1.1. The study findings theories on the artistic education The theory of the spread of Vugotxki and viewpoint on the reception of Marxist - Leninist aesthesis has demonstrated the path impacting to emotion, controlling the human reason for art. Art with the ability to spread the emotions has an impact on the human soul through contact and reception of art. From true emotional art, the enjoyers will absorb the good things, the beauty of art to bring the emotional vibration and towards human to the truth, kindness, beauty. Therefore, in spite of being the composer, performers or enjoyer, you are necessary to have a certain understanding of music as a basis for forming emotion, cognitive reality, perceived reality, assessment, thus creating the aesthetic viewpoints for composing, performing and enjoying art. Saying like that, musicians, performers and enjoyers need to participate in the process of art education. Based on the theories on the artistic education in general from the perspective of Marxism - Leninism and the stady of arts education for the public in the country and the world, the doctoral candidate made analysis, discussion and assessment on the real situation, recommending the solutions of applying such findings from the research on the artistic education for soldiers at the being time through the songs about Uncle Ho’s soldiers, and satisfying the demand of educating the aesthetic knowledge for soldiers and cultivating the personality for a model soldier. 3.1.2. The study findings of songs about Uncle Ho's soldiers For songs about Uncle Ho's soldiers composed from 1944 to 1975, this is one category of revolutionary song line, a product of culture, a product of existing history. Thus, although the war has receded, the typical characteristic values contained in ideological content, the artistic imagery of this song genre will continue to affirm and promote its role in spiritual life of today's society. Therefore, the use of songs about Uncle Ho's soldiers as the material for Art Education for soldiers today, to direct to complete education and personality perfection , maintain and promote the quality of Uncle Ho’s soldiers is entirely theoretical basis and will be applied effectively in the building career of the new man and the revolutionary soldiers in the new period in the constructive career of Vietnam advanced culture with ethnic identity of our Party. 3.1.3. The study findings of Art Education status for the current soldiers through songs about Uncle Ho's soldiers For Vietnam People's Army, songs about Uncle Ho's soldiers composed from 1944 to 1975 are attractive the attention of numerous soldiers. By cultural & artistic activities in the reality, every art program, every music work was born and served for soldiers at right time, right place, directly impact rather strongly to soldiers’ thought and emotion and contributively satisfy the entertainment needs of soldiers. From here, soldiers feel more realistic aspects of life today. Although soldiers today was born and grew up when the war ended; These criteria about duties have not been similar to those in wartime; their way of art perception has been different, they have in common: the revolutionary ideals, the moral character and military morality, loft tasks assigned by the people as national protection and and because they are still Uncle Ho's soldiers. Thus, the songs about Uncle Ho's soldiers are still the enjoying tastes of the art today. The use of songs about Uncle Ho's soldiers as the material for Art Education for the current soldiers, in order to orient personality perfection of military officials, maintain and promote the quality of Uncle Ho's soldiers in the new era effectively when being performed by a unified measure system in sync, built on the theoretical basis of art education and the reality of current army. 3.2. Discussion on the effective application of Art Education for the current soldiers through songs about Uncle Ho's soldiers Art Education for the current soldiers through songs about Uncle Ho's soldiers are actually organized at the popular scale in whole army in the form of education, training, fostering the fields of arts and culture, performances and enjoying; be carried out under the direction in writings, guidance from top to bottom. For enjoying activities, art performances, in spite of being identified as a presence in many aspects, these activities belong to the cultural – artistic activities in general of soldiers and just be seen as recreational activities, satisfying and enhancing the spiritual life of soldiers. This perception has limited the exploitation and promotion of the value of songs about Uncle Ho's soldiers in the construction and development of a comprehensive personality of military officials. In other words, Art Education for soldiers through songs about Uncle Ho's soldiers in the today army only promotes functions of exchange and entertainment and ignores the role of aesthetic education which is a overage function of the arts, including musical forms and more specifically songs about Uncle Ho's soldiers. Therefore Art education through songs about Uncle Ho's soldiers in today's army is not yet conceived as a comprehensive education system, uniform of content, forms, methods based on a general theoretical basis of art education. So also, the songs about Uncle Ho's soldiers have not really been studied as a material for art education for soldiers, which carried out other educational goals of military operations and have no theoretical basis for implementation. These issues affirm the theoretical basis of the art education to form the measures for effective application of Art Education for the current soldiers through songs about Uncle Ho's soldiers. This is also a central goal of the study problems of the dissertation. Some measures are discussed: 3.2.1. Fostering and improving the capacity to enjoy songs about Uncle Ho's soldiers for current soldiers 3.2.2. Educating predilection for songs about Uncle Ho's soldiers for current soldiers 3.2.3. Raising awareness about the role of the artist forces of professional artistic units and political staff, culturist and artists of grassroot unit in art education for soldiers 3.2.4.
