Given this perspective, a vast number of teacher PD activities have been provided by administrative levels in Vietnam with a hope that teachers’ capacities will be enhanced for better teaching and learning. However, how effective these formal teacher PD activities are might be perceived differently by the stakeholders. The present study aims to investigate how EFL lecturers perceive the effectiveness of the formal PD activities provided for them and the reasons for their perceptions. The study employed the qualitative approach in which the data were collected via interviews with fourteen teachers from different universities. The findings showed that the provided PD activities were effective to a certain extent as perceived by the participant EFL lecturers. Their perceptions were affected by the elements of PD activities, the coherence between specific elements of PD activities and lecturers’ personal context or social context. The research findings possibly inform EFL lecturers, institution managers and PD organizers in Vietnam and comparable contexts about how to maximize the effectiveness of formal teacher PD activities.","PeriodicalId":497792,"journal":{"name":"VNU Journal of Science: Education Research","volume":"32 15","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135973270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Four principles of meme application were established: sticking to the learning objectives; suitable for the students; establishing a close relationship between memes and learning contents; ensuring humor and impression. The meme application process consists of five steps: identifying learning objectives; understanding the students; selecting learning contents; using or designing memes in lessons and evaluating teaching effectiveness. The article proposes some specific methods to apply memes in teaching Vietnamese knowledge as well as practicing language acquisition and creation skills.

The research sample includes 790 students in grades 10, 11 and 12 at 6 high schools in Hanoi. Research results show that the majority of high school students rate themselves as having few problems (difficulties) in interpersonal relationships. The most common interpersonal problems students face are related to lack of social skills, teamwork, and adapting to new (changing) social environments. Students also rarely have interpersonal problems with teachers. The survey results also found a number of factors that significantly affect the expression level of interpersonal problems of students. This result contributes to providing useful information in early recognition of problems in interpersonal relationships, and as a reliable database when developing educational solutions to improve students’ problem solving capacity in the interpersonal interactions.","PeriodicalId":497792,"journal":{"name":"VNU Journal of Science: Education Research","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135045916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
