Building a supportive teaching culture to increase teaching effectiveness

Abstract

This paper investigates the existence of a campus supportive teaching culture in a Vietnamese public university that can facilitate good teaching, basing on three research questions aiming to find out: (1) the availability of supportive teaching activities at campus and (2) the effectiveness of such practices from lecturers’ perspectives and (3) the demand for similar or more activities for teaching excellence. The study was conducted in the form of a survey, with data gathered via an online questionnaire. From data analysis and findings, a number of methods are suggested to enhance or establish a supportive teaching culture in other Vietnamese universities accordingly.
