CURRENT SITUATION AND ISSUES OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN EDUCATION AT A HIGH SCHOOL IN HUNG YEN PROVINCE

Abstract

The application of information technology in teaching and learning activities has gradually changed the traditional pedagogical method to an active teaching approach, helping teachers and learners promote their thoughts, creativity, initiative, and effectiveness. This study used a mixed-methods approach to investigate the viewpoints of 57 eleventh-graders and 17 teachers at Pham Ngu Lao high school in Hung Yen province. The results reveal that eleventh-graders were fully aware of the implementation of digitalized documents in learning and teaching over the online school platform. They well prepared their own electronic devices to get connected to the online learning system, but they were not given a proper instruction of using online learning system. For teachers’ perspectives, they were in favour of the process of converting their teaching activities with the support of digitalized procedures. Besides, they saw it necessary to be trained how to exploit the digitalized infrastructures for their actual teaching activities. The findings of this research would help the education administrators, teachers, and students understand clearly the flaws during the digitalized process of application in education. In addition, the findings are also served as resourceful references for the future studies relative to the digital transformation in education.
