Summary of Doctoral thesis: Educating school behavior culture capacity for pedagogical university students in the Mekong Delta in the current context

The thesis builds measures to educate schooling behavioral competency for students in the Mekong Delta Pedagogical University in the current context in order to contribute to improving the capacity of cultural behavior in schools and universities in the university future pedagogical labor.

1   Reasons   for   choosing   the   research   topic:  In   the   context   of international   integration   and   the   development   of   science   and technology, the education of behavior culture for pre­service teachers is 

an urgent and special task. Besides, with the characteristics of regional culture, the impact of the integration trend and the development of science   and   technology,   the   behavioral   expression   of   pedagogical university   students   in   the   Mekong   Delta   has   revealed   some shortcomings. For the above reasons, the author has chosen the topic: 

"Educating   school   behavior   culture   capacity   for   pedagogical   university   students   in   the   Mekong   Delta   in   the   current   context"  to 

conduct research for the doctoral thesis

2. Research purposes: Develop measures to educate school behavior culture   capacity   for   pedagogical   university   students   in   the   Mekong Delta in the current context in order to contribute to improving the behavior   culture   capacity   in   universities   and   in   future   pedagogical work

4. Research questions and scientific hypotheses 

4.1. Research questions:  What measures should be taken to prevent 

and limit the shortcomings in behavior culture of universities and high schools in the Mekong River Delta in the current context?

4.2   Scientific   hypothesis:  School   behavior   culture   capacity   is   a 

necessary capacity for both teachers and students in the current context. 

If measures to educate school behavior culture capacity are built in the direction   of   both   forming   behavior   culture   capacity   for   students   at pedagogical   training   institutions   and   creating   a   foundation   for   the formation of behavior culture capacity in future pedagogical work; at the same time, are organized in accordance with the requirements and time,   in   accordance   with   the   characteristics   of   the   pedagogical university students in the Mekong Delta, then they will direct students 

1

to express the school behavior culture in human relationships, which will   contribute   to   preventing   and   limiting   shortcomings   in   school behavior   culture   at   pedagogical   training   institutions   and   at   general education institutions in future pedagogical work.

5. Research tasks

5.1.  Study the theoretical basis of educating school behavior culture 

capacity for pedagogical university students in the current context

5.2.  Investigate  and assess the current  situation  of  school   behavior 

culture   capacity   of   pedagogical   university   students   in   the   Mekong Delta, and the reality of educating school behavior culture capacity for pedagogical   university   students   Mekong   River   Delta   in   the   current context

­   Educating   school   behavior   culture   capacity   for   pedagogical university students in the Mekong Delta in the current context should 

be carried out according to the stages of the educational process, with 

an   emphasis  on   encouraging  students  to  experience  in  a   variety   of activities and combine with assessing educational outcomes.

­   Educating   school   behavior   culture   capacity   for   pedagogical university students in the Mekong Delta in the current context will help students   develop   school   behavior   culture   capacities   at   pedagogical training   institutions   and   form   school   behavior   culture   capacity   in pedagogical works in accordance with the secondary school teacher professional   standards  They   are   the   following   competencies:   the capacity of pedagogical university students’ qualities, the capacity to build an educational environment, the capacity to develop relationships between schools, families and society

­   Educating   school   behavior   culture   capacity   for   pedagogical university students in the Mekong Delta in the current context is only effective with the assurance of the following conditions: the stages of the   educational   process   are   designed   with   a   scientific   and   specific procedure,   testing   and   assessment   is   done   after   each   educational process

Chapter 1THEORETICAL BASIS FOR EDUCATING SCHOOL BEHAVIOR CULTURE CAPACITY FOR PEDAGOGICAL UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IN THE CURRENT CONTEXT1.1. Literature Review

1.1.1. Studies on school behavior culture for university students 1.1.1.1. Foreign studies on school behavior culture of university students

Studies on behavior culture can be systematized in the following directions: Research on the impact of the environment on the behavior 

of   students,  research   on   the   impact   of   the   environment   in   general, research on the impact of the physical environment, research on the impact   of   the   psychological   and   social   environment,   research   on measures   to   build   behavior   culture.  Some   authors   approach   school behavior   culture   in   the   direction   of   addressing   inadequacies   in behavior, or focus on the study of the impact of behavioral supporting factors. School behavior culture is also seen as a measure for a non­violent school

1.1.1.2   Domestic   studies   on   school   behavior   culture   of   university   students: approach school behavior culture as a content, an expression 

of school culture,   approach school behavior culture through studying communication culture in schools,  approach school behavior culture through pedagogical behavior, study school behavior culture in a direct approach.

1.1.2. Studies on educating school behavior culture for university   students

1.1.2.1   Foreign   studies   on   educating   school   behavior   culture   for   university students:  Studies focused on building a system to support 

behavior   in   schools,   providing   students   with   counseling   services, meetings for  group conflict  resolution,  support  groups and problem solving   workshops,   establishing   safety   measures   such   as   devices, surveillance   cameras   in   schools   and   punishment   The   proposed educational   methods   are   listening,   conversation,   discussion, observation and compliment. 

1.1.2.2  Domestic   studies   on   educating   school   behavior   culture   for   university   students:  emphasize   the   importance   and   necessity   of 

education, propose many educational measures: educate awareness and emotions; at the same time develop habits, and train cultural behavior, improve the quality of education of schools, create a communication environment.  The authors also propose some  additional measures to form the behavior culture in the school such as: activities of training pedagogical skills, public opinion creation, political activities, thematic talks   or   inspection,   evaluation,   self­check;   reward   and   punishment. Synchronous coordination between the educational forces inside and outside the school is considered by the authors as a condition for the education of school behavior culture to go smoothly

1.2   Theoretical   issues   of   school   behavior   culture   capacity   of pedagogical university students in the current context

1.2.1. School behavior culture of pedagogical university students Concept   of   school   behavior   culture   of   pedagogical   students:  

School   behavior   culture   of   pedagogical   university   students   is   the ethical and aesthetic standards that govern the behavior of pedagogical university students in pedagogical relationships which serve learning and training   activities   of   students   in   universities,   high   schools   and social   agencies   and   organizations   where   students   participate   in experiential   activities   School   behavior   culture   is   formed   through attitudes, words, gestures, actions   appropriate to the role and position 

of students in specific situations and circumstances

1.2.1.2. The role of school behavior culture in the formation of the   teacher's   personality:  School   behavior   culture   is  a  core  element   in 

forming   school   culture,   building   safe   schools,   preventing   school violence   as   well   as   in   building   cooperative   relationships   with parents/guardians   of   students   and   stakeholders   to   carry   out   the 

activities of teaching and educating morals and lifestyle for students.   1.2.1.3   Expression   of   school   behavior   culture   of   pedagogical   university students

c. Space for the behaviors of pedagogical university students:  within and outside the university, cyberspace

d   Objects   of   the   behavior:  Teachers/lecturers,   officials   / 

employees, students, parents, visitors to schools, acquaintances, and unfamiliar people

e  Context  of  the behavior:  In  activities of  learning,  training, 

communicating with friends and officials/lecturers, in circumstances of communicating with families about issues related to training programs and teaching and education activities of the school

1.2.2   School   behavior   culture   capacity   of   pedagogical   university   students in the current context

1.2.2.1. Concept of school behavior culture capacity of pedagogical   university students

School   behavior  culture capacity is the ability  to  express the culture   of   the   behaving   subject   (individual   or   collective)   in   the behavioral   situations   of   school   relations;   thereby   bringing   positive emotions   and   satisfaction   to   the   behaving   objetcs   School   behavior culture   capacity   is   the   integration   of   three   basic   components: Knowledge of school behavior culture, skills of school behavior culture and psychological conditions such as: positive sentiment with school behavior   culture;   the   need   and   desire   to   express   school   behavior culture; activeness and willpower to express school culture; inclination and   quality   of   behaving   (flexibility,   agility,   timeliness   )   The combination   of   these   components   is   crystallized   into   the   subject's perception,   regulated   and   expressed   through   cultural   attitudes   and behaviors in school behavior situations

c. Behavior attitude

1.2.2.3. Expressions of school behavior culture capacity of pedagogical   university students in the current context: the capacity of pedagogical 

university   students'   qualifications;   the   capacity   to   build   educational environment; the capacity to develop relationships between schools, families and society

1.2.2.4. The process of developing school behavior culture capacity for   pedagogical university students in the current context: Foster and raise 

awareness   of   school   behavior   culture;   foster   the   right   and   healthy feelings for school behavior culture, train to form the habits of school behavior culture. 

1.2.2.5   Criteria   for   assessing   school   behavior   culture   capacity   of   pedagogical university students in the current context:

in practical situations

Fail to fulfill the  required skills

students are not  interested in school  behavior standards

Weak capacity behavior standards Students can state 

Perform skills with  many mistakes,  incomplete operations 

as required, lack of  confidence

students express standards when

is required with  reluctance

Average 

capacity

Students can state  behavioral norms and  explain some of the  causes of success or  failure of some  situations / stories /  behavior practices

Perform relatively  complete operations and requirements of skills  but there are still a few  mistakes and lack of  confidence

Students perform  standards when required

7

Appropriately perform  complete skill  requirements but  independence and  initiative are limited.

students actively implement standards in  particular circumstances

Good capacity

Students can apply  knowledge of behavior 

culture, analyse and  evaluate situations and 

objects of behavior to  provide solutions to  propose creative  behavior situations

Perform appropriately   fully, proficiently the  skill requirements  independently and  proactively

students take the  initiative to implement  standards and  demonstrate  uncompromising  attitudes, do not  cooperate with non­ standard expressions in  specific circumstances

CURRENT CONTEXT2.1. An overview of the survey

2.1.1. Purpose and scale of the survey: The survey aims to understand 

the situation from students and lecturers on the issues of awareness, attitude, behavior related to school behavior culture and to propose measures to educate school behavior culture capacity for pedagogical university students in the Mekong Delta in the current context

The   survey   is   conducted   by   investigation,   interview   and observation methods. The survey was conducted on 200 lecturers and 

700   students   of   3   universities:   Can   Tho   University,   An   Giang University and Dong Thap University

2.1.2. Subjects and participants of the survey

2.1.2.1. An overview of the system of training institutions for university­ level   pedagogical   students   in   the   Mekong   Delta   region:  An   Giang 

University,   Can   Tho   University   and   Dong   Thap   University   are   3 universities with a stable number of pedagogical training branches in recent years (from 11 branches to 15 branches). These three universities have   contributed   to   facilitating   students   in   accessing   pedagogical

2.1.3. Survey contents: The reality of school behavior culture capacity 

of pedagogical university students in the Mekong Delta, the reality of educating school behavior culture capacity for pedagogical university students in the Mekong Delta long, factors affecting the education of school behavior culture capacity for pedagogical university students in the Mekong Delta

2.1.4. Methods and techniques of conducting the survey

­ Survey questionnaires:  For students, 684valid questionnaires. 

For lecturers, 192 valid questionnaires

­   Interview:  Direct   interviews   with   students   and   lecturers   on 

issues   that   need   to   be   clarified   regarding  school   behavior   culture awareness and behaviors

­ Observation: Observe the behavioral expression of students in 

the classroom and outside the classroom through class observation and observation outside the class. 

2.1.5   Scales   and   conventions   for   scales:  Scale   1   represents   the 

viewpoint,   Scale   2   ­   frequency   of   performance,   Scale   3   ­   level   of achievement, Scale 4 ­ the degree of influence

13   Stealing   friends’   property   is  shameful,

14. In difficult circumstances, it is not   necessary to return the assets borrowed   from friends.

15. It is possible to keep items that your  friends dropped or forgot to use

16   Meaningful   sharing   is   material  sharing

2.2.1.2   The   reality   of   students’   attitudes   towards   school   behavior   culture and in school behavior.

Figure 2.4. Expression of student attitudes in school behavior

1   Well­behaved   when   giving/receiving 

objects 6. Timely, polite when receiving/sending  emails,

3. Voluntary, positive when performing 

common tasks,

4  Self­disciplined when  coming out  of 

the   classroom,   when   coming   to   class 

10.  smart  when  disagreeing  or  arising  conflicts,

11   Demonstrating   responsibility   when  making mistakes,

Survey results show that students have not shown appropriate attitude in email interaction. For behavior situations in communication such as when disagreeing, when conflicts arise, when making errors  , most   students   have   a   lack   of   initiative   in   expressing   appropriate attitudes. Thus, in terms of attitude in the contexts of behavior, students have many inappropriate expressions and changes in students’ attitude can   only   be   achieved   through   proper   orientation   and   education   at schools

10. Use pure words (no billiarsgate, no  slang)   in   communication   with  lecturers and students

11. Use appropriate clothes (do not use 

13

as  doing personal work during class time like talking, using mobile   phones, not cooperating with friends in common tasks, not submitting   learning products on time    Therefore, unsuitable things need to be 

adjusted   so   that   the   behavior   culture   is   expressed   in   human relationships
