Abstract

The Confucian-Western dichotomy often interprets as Eastern and Western learning. In the framework of lifelong learning, the Confucian philosophy hypothesizes learning as a lifelong progression through which learners of any age learn to become an honorable person and to lead a morally outstanding life. This research has been done to find out whether the Confucian conception of critical thinking possesses is like harmonizing mechanisms to those of the Western conception of critical thinking. This research discovers the comparison of Confucian conception of critical thinking and the Western conception of critical thinking through literature review and text analysis. Reflection on interview survey, questionnaire survey and classroom observation show that Confucian “enlightening approach” works efficiently in today’s effort in critical thinking cultivation in English teaching. The study suggests detailed research in building the theoretical framework for the Confucian conception of critical thinking, examination of other approaches to develop critical thinking abilities in addition the “enlightening approach,” and in-depth studies of present practical research on critical thinking in TEFL in Myanmar to see how they can be useful in materializing Confucian conception of critical thinking.

To do so, questionnaires were distributed among EFL teachers from different universities and responses were then collected. The findings revealed a gap between the teachers' perceptions and practices in dealing with culture. The data were collected through a questionnaire with 52 Myanmar teachers of English and 86 Myanmar university learners Finally, data analyzed showed that the teachers and learners had positive attitude towards the culture and culture learning.

Abstract

This research examined the self-efficacy beliefs, attitudes towards Chemistry, and intentions to take future Chemistry courses in a sample of (n = 112) students from selected universities in Myanmar. The main purpose of the study was to determine the university students' self-efficacy, attitudes, and intentions toward Chemistry in Myanmar context. Findings indicate that self-efficacy (Mean=2.05) and attitude (Mean=2.47) are both significant, making a larger unique contribution. According to the findings, Self-efficacy of undergraduate students was slightly significant indicating confidence of the participants. Our findings suggest that in general, although the population at Myanmar universities slightly feel confident in their ability to perform in Chemistry (Mean=2.06, SD=0.60), have strong attitude towards Chemistry (Mean=2.47, SD=0.84), and moderate intentions toward enrolling in future Chemistry courses (M=1.98, SD=0.97). In the current context, the students believe that they are capable of successfully performing tasks affiliated with Chemistry content. Students with a high self-efficacy toward Chemistry will be more likely to take on the challenge of Chemistry and persist through the courses. Finally, implications for educators and administrators are discussed.

Abstract

The aim of the study is to explore the effectiveness of the international practicum designated for EFL Vietnamese students who majored in English language teaching and English Language programs. The overseas practicum is the result of the partnership between the University of Foreign Languages and its university partners in Thailand. Within the theoretical framework of  Kirkpartrick’s four-level training evaluation model, the study adopted the narrative approach to data collection and analysis, employing in-depth interviews. The study results indicate that the international practicum was effective across the four levels of the model. At the first level, the program effectiveness was manifested in the three aspects, active engagement, high relevance and student satisfaction; at level 2, its effectiveness was exhibited in terms of considerable degrees of knowledge, skills, attitude, confidence and commitment students gained; at level 3, the effective features were demonstrated in substantial extents of application and performance students made; and at the final level, the effectiveness was displayed in significant extents of various impacts the practicum had on the students after the practicum. The findings also show the different challenges students had to face in their oversea placements and also suggestions for improvements from preservice teachers and interns, and their supervisors as well as coordinators. The study findings also suggest noteworthy implications for sustainable practicum outcomes, especially for key stakeholders including students, university faculty and administration.
