Abstract
The study surveyed 125 students majoring in Physics Teacher Education in courses 46, 47 and 48 to find out the current status of students' communication abilities and opinions on measures to develop these groups of competencies. The questionnaire includes questions on a 5-level Likert scale and open-ended questions about their strengths and weaknesses in communication as well as their rationale for the proposed solutions. Based on students' self-assessment, the average scores for verbal and written communication skills are at a Good level. However, students show weaknesses in non-verbal communication and confidence. The proposed measures generally received support from students who responded to the survey, and students also proposed other diverse solutions to develop these competency groups.
Tóm tắt
Nghiên cứu đã khảo sát 125 sinh viên (SV) ngành Sư phạm Vật lý (SPVL) các khóa 46, 47 và 48 nhằm tìm hiểu thực trạng năng lực giao tiếp sư phạm của SV và ý kiến về các biện pháp phát triển các nhóm năng lực này. Phiếu hỏi gồm các câu hỏi theo thang Likert 5 mức độ và các câu hỏi mở nhằm hiểu rõ hơn các điểm mạnh, điểm yếu và biện pháp phát triển. Dựa trên tự đánh giá của SV, điểm trung bình cho năng lực giao tiếp bằng lời nói và bằng văn bản đều ở mức Khá, tuy nhiên SV thể hiện những điểm yếu về giao tiếp phi ngôn ngữ và sự tự tin. Các biện pháp được đề xuất nhìn chung đều nhận được sự ủng hộ của các SV tham gia trả lời khảo sát và SV còn đề xuất thêm những giải pháp khác đa dạng nhằm phát triển các nhóm năng lực này.
