What worries parents the most when your child moves to the Primary school environment, having to adapt to many new things? Recently UTS have received many questions about how to help Grade 1 students adapt to new environments since they have to be exposed to completely new environment, new teachers, new friends as well as learning method comparing to their Preschool’s. It is easy to understand that anxiety of parents, Grade 1 is also the first year of your child’s school year. Moreover, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, our children had an online study semester at home. Although children have to study and communicate with friends through small screens, parents can still observe your children and they also study at home – an environment that is so familiar to them. In just a few days, the Grade 1 Students will go to school, and when they have to adapt themselves with the more serious academic environment, there will be no more parents or teachers as pampered as in Preschool. Understanding these concerns, UTS will help parents find the complete answer to the above question. Suitable environment Entering a new school after leaving the dear Preschool, our children will surely be surprised. When they were in preschool, the space surrounding them was colorful classrooms, visual supplies and a play area. In order to help them feel the closeness, love and less initial surprises, the preparation of the classroom before picking up Students to school is always prioritized by UTS and completed early. UTS teachers have devoted time and enthusiasm to preparing a environment to welcome Grade 1 Students with the hope of bringing a lively learning, living and attracting space associated with the knowledge that they will learn as letters, numbers, geometry, etc. This way of arranging classroom space will

In recent years, the education sector in general and schools have made great efforts to reform the quality of teaching and learning in the natural sciences. With the teaching philosophy of putting Students at the Center”, the US Vietnam Talent International School has applied the method “Hands-on” at the high school level to help students be independent, creative, take initativesinitiatives and solve problems. Besides, this method also helps teachers improve the quality of teaching.  “Hands-on” methodology is the way the teacher organizes for students to self-study to find solutions to the knowledge in the curriculum through proposing, discussing, and performing experiments.  The steps to organizing classes according to this method include:  Stage 1: The starting situation and the question raises the issue.  Teachers will proactively set a starting or questionable situation as a starting point to the lesson. The foreboding circumstances are brief, close to students and practice making questions raises the issue at the same time.  Problem question which is the big question of the lesson itself (or module of knowledges that students will be taught) need to ensure suitable to students’ level, arouse curiosity and researching interest of the students to equip them with studious psych sphere before perceiving sciolism.  Teachers should use open questions instead of closed ones (Yes-No question) in terms of problem questions. It also must meet all the requirements that were mentioned before, so that the teaching scheme of the teachers will be more successful.     Stage 2: Expressing the beginning opinions of students   In this stage, teachers will encourage the students to express thoughts and raise their awareness before learning new things. To raise the starting conception from the students, teachers can request their students to remind the previous lessons that alike with knowledge of the current lesson. When requesting students to express the started awareness, students can

  Exam season has come very close. How far have UTS-ers reviewed? Has anyone ever memorized a lot the night before, only to forget a lot the next morning, leaving us extremely confused while reviewing and also while sitting the exam? UTS has found the “key” to overcome this problem, which is to use the method of spaced repetition. Thanks to this method, we have reviewed almost all the lessons and still remember them for a long time. Let UTS reveal to you a little about the method of spaced repetition. The method of spaced repetition is applied based on the psychological effect of interruption, as defined by Hermann Ebbinghaus, a famous German Psychologist. His research shows that the set of knowledge we learn in a certain period of time will be memorized in people’s short-term memories and quickly forgotten, just like in our review story. But when we repeat the same content many times at different times, our brain will put that amount of information into long-term memory, helping us remember longer. UTS will give a specific example. Normally we need 1 night to learn all the knowledge needed for the next day’s exam, but when using the spaced repetition method, you only need 30 minutes to study in the morning. At noon, 10 minutes of review in the evening, and 10 minutes of re-reading the next morning, in total, we only need about 40 minutes to remember the knowledge clearly, effectively, and long-term. This method can help you memorize a large amount of information and store it for a long time.   The spaced repetition method can be applied and is effective in many different subjects and contexts. However, this method has a special impact when used to study and practice language subjects. A concrete example is learning
