Effectiveness of building a culture of learning among Vietnamese pedagogical university students

Abstract

The domains of teaching and learning in higher education have been experimented over the past few years for improvement in several aspects, including result orientation, competency development, and teaching and learning, all centered on the student. Since the concept of learning culture aims at overarching educational reform plan for the entire institution, learning is an essential part of not only the process of acquiring new information but also of modifying and reinforcing the information, actions, abilities, and values that one already possesses. The purpose of this study was to investigate the views held by professors, university administrators, and students regarding the efficiency of establishing a student-centered culture of learning in educational institutions. The sample size comprised 952 participants from Vietnam, including 232 educators and administrators and 720 pupils. The findings point out the importance of a learning culture in the promotion of sustainable development as well as the improvement of student learning standards and capabilities. These findings provide educators with implications for encouraging more of the fundamental values that underpin an educational culture throughout many stages of the learning process. Learning culture is something that teachers and administrators need to be aware of in order to fully comprehend its significance and role for students. It is important that learning culture be incorporated into school courses so that students' learning practices can be improved.
