In March 2020, Vietnam's Minister of Finance (MoF) issued Decision 345/QD-BTC, endorsing the adoption of Financial Reporting Standards for full IFRS implementation by 2025. This study, using curriculum implementation theory, examines factors affecting accounting academics' time spent on teaching IFRS. Drawing on the opinions of 198 academics in…

The trialogical approach to learning offers a framework for fostering novelty and innovation. However, the framework lacks the details needed to guide practitioners. More studies should understand how it can be effectively adapted into instructional practices. This study addresses this gap by examining collaborative interactions' role in a…

The traditional system focuses excessively on physical skills and physical fitness assessment, with problems such as single indicator, static approach, subject limitation and inefficient data utilization, making it difficult to assess students in a comprehensive and fair manner.

Interteaching is a behavioral teaching method that has demonstrated efficacy in higher education. Of particular interest is the use of a preparation guide (a guided reading assignment), which is designed to promote engagement in the other areas of the interteaching process. The present study compared the use of a preparation guide completed before…
