Subjects, Time and Place of Experiment


The questions must be relevant to the lecture, the subject and the general level of the class. The questions must be clear and precise, not allowing students to misunderstand. The teacher skillfully asks systematic questions for students to answer in order to help them clarify new issues and discover new knowledge themselves.

For example, the teacher sticks the students' Decorations on the board, then the teacher asks suggestive questions to help students learn, compare, comment, evaluate, and learn from experience. During the observation process, the teacher needs to ask questions so that students can observe intentionally and with a focus to develop figurative thinking. The teacher's questions need to guide students to observe from the whole to the details and from easy to difficult levels.

Teachers need to encourage students to express their personal ideas in their own drawings about specific content:

+ Which image or pattern to choose?

Maybe you are interested!

+ How to arrange the layout to be balanced and beautiful (Teachers can use visual aids to illustrate different types of layouts, so that students can recognize what is a beautiful and not-so-beautiful layout? How is the layout in a Decorative drawing different from the layout of a drawing based on a model, painting...)

Another active teaching method that teachers can apply in teaching Decorative Drawing is the problem-posing and problem-solving teaching method. Building a problematic situation is an important stage of the teaching and learning process. Without it, the creative thinking process cannot be initiated. Here, the teacher is the one who creates the problematic situation, organizes and controls students to discover the problem. Students are active, proactive, solve the problem, through which they acquire knowledge and skills. Problem-posing teaching methods are all effective in bringing excitement to students, enhancing their independent activities and creativity. Students are proactive, self-conscious in participating in the learning process, finding the knowledge they need to learn on their own, instead of passively listening to the teacher's lectures. In other words, students are the subjects who create the activity.

dynamics. Thanks to that, students not only receive knowledge but also understand the path and method leading to that result. In other words, students understand and find ways to solve problems.

For example, in the lesson General overview of Decorative art in the course Basic Decorative , the teacher can introduce and present to students many Decorative paintings. From there, the teacher suggests that students carefully observe, comment and draw their own conclusions about the basic Decorative principles. Thus, students will have a very solid grasp of theoretical knowledge, the path of receiving this knowledge is very attractive to them, stimulating their imagination and forming the desire to draw Decorative works with their own personal style.

+ Encourage students to work in groups

Competency-based training focuses on students' working skills after completing the program. Learning theory is the beginning, the final result is whether students can apply theory to practice or not. Do students have the opportunity to practice professional skills, pedagogical skills, social skills, and individual skills? To achieve this goal, the school's teachers are orienting students to group and require them to work together on the basis of mutual coordination. Students are proactive in choosing topics for decoration, exchanging ideas with each other, and assigning each other to perform other tasks to achieve the highest efficiency. The group decoration drawings when completed are groups of students who have worked together, are proactive in their work, and are ready to take responsibility for completing the assigned tasks. Training in this direction will help students gradually perfect their abilities, flexibly apply theory to practice, proactively propose solutions and boldly implement them, be proactive in planning and contribute to group members completing assigned tasks.


Therefore, encouraging students to work in groups is considered a fundamental solution for teaching Decoration in the direction of developing students' capacity. By implementing this solution, we will see the maturity of each student, creating for them one of the most important skills to work in the labor market after graduation.

* Conditions for implementing measures

To be able to implement this measure, it requires the combination of many factors, efforts from teachers, school leaders and students themselves.

On the part of teachers, to implement innovation in teaching methods and teaching organization, teachers must constantly improve their qualifications, be enthusiastic about their profession and be willing to invest effort in their lectures. Teachers must have extensive professional knowledge, high pedagogical skills, know how to behave delicately, know how to use modern technology proficiently in teaching, know how to orient students' development according to the objectives of each lecture. Decoration, but also ensure students' freedom in cognitive activities.

Another condition is that teachers combine the use of many flexible teaching methods but must know how to apply them appropriately to each situation and each student. For outdoor drawing and other extracurricular activities, teachers must know how to choose the right time, make a plan in advance, carefully prepare means of transportation, and inform students in advance about the requirements to be met such as: what to draw, how to draw, and what to draw for? Teachers need to supplement their knowledge about places to visit, exchange, and implement topics: customs, historical origins, cultural traditions, etc. so that extracurricular activities and flexible classroom organization can be truly effective.

To implement this measure, an indispensable condition is teaching equipment. Teaching equipment must ensure that students practice Decorative drawing lessons independently or in groups. Decorative drawing classes


The classroom must be fully equipped with modern learning facilities including: computers, projectors, internet, televisions and video players, camcorders, documentary pictures, general MT teaching software, and Decorative Drawing in particular. In order to further enhance the effectiveness of this measure, MT teachers can proactively use personal equipment to prepare lessons and practice teaching in class. Teachers can also encourage students to collect pictures, videos, and documents on Decorative Drawing to enrich their learning materials for class hours.

2.1.2.4. Measure 4: Change the way of evaluating learning outcomes of the Decoration subject towards developing students' abilities.

* Measure objectives

Evaluation is an indispensable and essential step in the educational process. Evaluation is often at the end of an educational stage and will become the starting point of the next educational stage with higher requirements and new quality in the entire educational process.

The previous method of evaluating the learning outcomes of the Decorative subject was by the teacher assigning drawings to students to do, then marking, recording, and summarizing the scores. The evaluation process stopped in the teacher's grade book while students did not hear the teacher's comments and evaluations, nor did they receive encouragement and motivation from the instructor. This evaluation method did not help to discover and promote the strengths and weaknesses of each student, and did not encourage their unique and creative decorative ideas. Innovating the teaching method of Decorative Drawing in the direction of developing students' capacity means maximizing the initiative and creativity of students. Therefore, along with innovating teaching methods is innovating the way of evaluating students' learning outcomes. Teachers must conduct the evaluation to ensure the following purposes: commenting on students' strengths and weaknesses so that they can self-perceive and learn from experience in the learning process; promoting strengths, stimulating creativity, and improving students' initiative in learning.


* Content of measures

Evaluating the results of students' Decorative drawings should be based on the following scientific bases:

- Based on the specific objectives and content of the lesson

- Based on the specific requirements of the Decorative drawing

- Based on the psychological and physiological characteristics of secondary school students

- Based on the visual characteristics (lines, shapes, and especially colors) of intermediate school students in the way of doing Decoration exercises.

* How to implement the measure

The criteria for evaluating the Decorative Drawings of students at Hung Yen College of Culture, Arts and Tourism are based on the following contents:

- For basic Decorative drawings: Evaluation of students' basic Decorative drawings should be based on the following content:

+ Good main and sub-arrays (main and sub-arrays are clear), as required

+ Beautiful pattern

+ Beautiful colors and shades, as required, focusing on the main area. Coloring technique is neat and even.

However, in reality, many students meet all the requirements for form, layout and coloring, with those exercises easy to evaluate and classify. But there are also students who do not meet all the above criteria, some students are very good at coloring but bad at composition (main, secondary), on the contrary, some students are very good at composition but poor at coloring..., with such exercises, teachers must be very clear when evaluating and classifying. Especially when returning and commenting on exercises in class, teachers must clearly state the advantages and disadvantages of each drawing, so that students can perceive them. From there, students will promote and maintain their strengths.


- For Decorative Application Drawings: Evaluation of students' Decorative Application Drawings should be based on the following content:

+ Function of use; usage habits and customs; time and season of use; users and age groups... of the decorated object.

+ Unique creativity in drawing.

+ The design and decoration of objects must ensure convenience in use, be beautiful in form and style, and be suitable for the user.

+ Depending on the nature and content of the decorative object, it is not necessary that the main panel be in the middle and the secondary panels be around as in basic decoration. The division of main and secondary panels needs to be creative, as long as it is pleasing to the eye and beautiful.

+ Decorative motifs must be based on usage features and age of users to be most appropriate.

+ Color must be suitable for the user and nature of use.

Above are the criteria for evaluating Decorative Drawings of intermediate students according to the orientation of developing capacity. The teacher's evaluation is mainly to encourage and motivate students. Therefore, teachers need to limit giving students low scores (which both discourages students and causes a negative psychology about this subject).

* Conditions for implementing measures

To implement this measure, it requires Decorative Drawing teachers to invest more effort in teaching and evaluating students. Teachers need to be more enthusiastic, more impartial, and more meticulous.

For school leaders, it is necessary to encourage teachers to innovate the form of assessing students' learning outcomes, invest in facilities, teaching equipment and remuneration for teachers to promptly encourage teachers to be more enthusiastic about teaching and assessing students' learning outcomes.


2.1.3. Relationship between measures

Above are some measures for teaching Decorative drawing in the direction of developing students' capacity that we have proposed based on the results of theoretical and practical research on teaching Decorative drawing at Hung Yen College of Arts, Culture and Tourism. These measures have a dialectical relationship that complements and completes each other. These measures emphasize the role of teachers in teaching Decorative drawing in the direction of developing students' capacity, emphasizing the role of modern teaching aids in teaching and learning Decorative drawing. This is a necessary condition for implementing teaching measures to promote students' autonomy, creativity, and endless imagination, contributing to improving the effectiveness of teaching and learning Decorative drawing at Hung Yen College of Arts, Culture and Tourism today.

We propose many measures above but in the implementation process they are not independent of each other. In a lesson, teachers can apply many different measures at the same time to achieve the best teaching results. In practice, in addition to the unified relationship between each other, the measures are used in coordination with each other, supporting each other and depending on each other in the teaching process. For example, it will be impossible to implement Decorative drawing lessons to promote students' autonomy and creativity effectively if students in the class are not interested in learning, if teachers do not know how to diversify teaching organization forms, innovate teaching methods..., if the school does not have enough necessary teaching equipment for teachers (computers, projectors,...) and many other factors.

All measures require teachers to maximize their role in teaching. Teachers must invest time and effort to prepare lessons, teach classes, care for each student, and at the same time be active and open-minded to be ready to share and encourage students. Therefore, Decorative Education is oriented towards students.


The most important center is the teacher's tireless creative work.

2.2.1. General experimental issues

2.2.1.1. Experimental purpose

The experiment was conducted to confirm the scientific correctness of the hypothesis on teaching Decoration subject in the direction of developing students' capacity at Hung Yen College of Culture, Arts and Tourism, and at the same time confirm the effectiveness and feasibility of the measures proposed in content 2.1. presented above.

2.2.1.2. Subjects, time and place of experiment

The experimental subjects are intermediate students of Painting course 5 studying at Hung Yen College of Culture, Arts and Tourism. We organized the experiment in the 2016-2017 school year.

2.2.1.3. Experimental content

The experimental content is carried out through some lessons of the Decoration subject, "Carpet Decoration Drawing" in the Applied Decoration section of the intermediate training program in painting.

2.2.1.4. Experimental procedure

The experimental process is divided into 02 phases:

* Experimental preparation phase

- Organize training for experimental teachers

To implement measures 1, 2, 3, 4 that we have proposed in the above section, the most important thing is to change the teachers. Therefore, to prepare for the experimental process, the most important step in our opinion is to organize training for teachers teaching the experiment. Through the survey of the current situation, it shows that: the teachers (that we chose to study) have not really paid attention to
