Vietnam began to implement a new general education program to replace the previous one in 2018. According to the new program, the content has many topics that integrate interdisciplinarity. Therefore, teachers need to be able to teach in the direction of interdisciplinary integration to develop students' competence. The current situation in Vietnam shows that teachers are still not confident because they do not have much interdisciplinary integrated knowledge in applying integrated knowledge into practice to the teaching process. This leads to the consequence that when they teach topics related to real life, it will not be feasible, reducing the effectiveness of teaching in schools, and difficult to achieve the goals required by the Ministry of Education and Training. For the above reasons, universities that train pedagogical students also need to make appropriate adjustments to foster and train pedagogical students’ competence in applying interdisciplinary knowledge into practice. The article presents the research results on the process of building and designing the scale, which are specific criteria to measure and evaluate the competence to apply knowledge in the practice of physics pedagogical students. In addition, we also propose an illustrative example to contribute to improving the quality of training for students of Physics pedagogy.

My idea is to shape my ideologies in teaching based on my athletic journey. Through this narrative, I discovered that my experiences placed me in good stead as an effective classroom teacher.

Collaborative learning methods using technology tools provide an opportunity to learn even outside the classroom. This flexible method is now exploited by many teachers across the world due to the global health crisis. Hence, the intention of this study is to investigate the effect of collaborative learning on the performance scores of 50 students enrolled in a Wushu class in a selected high school located in Beijing, China. Results show a positive increase in the post-evaluation results after a two-week utilization of collaborative tools. It can be said that technology is a tool that levels the playing field for students. Hence, this paper touches on the importance of equal access to various technologies for learning to ensure that students are given the opportunity they deserve.

Abstract

Due to the outbreak of Covid-19, a large number of educational institutions had to temporarily discontinue their offline delivery models in favor of online courses. Teaching clarity has always been an important factor in teaching and learning, but due to the implementation of online courses, teaching clarity has been greatly impacted by various factors of new course delivery model. It is unknown how student academic motivation will be affected by teaching-clarity behaviors in this context. This study collected data from undergraduate students who adopted an online course delivery model to explore the relationship between teaching clarity and student academic motivation during covid-19. The regression result indicated that student motivation was significantly and positively related to teaching clarity in the online course delivery model, and that higher teaching clarity in online courses was associated with higher student motivation. The finding of this study shed light on the teaching-clarity behavior as a key to motivating students in the online course delivery model, with revelatory implications for teachers to design online courses and motivate students in the future.
