Reimagining Education through Collaborative Learning: A Reflective Case Study in a Vietnamese Classroom

This study dives into how collaborative learning changed effectively the way students engage, speak up, and build confidence in Vietnamese primary classrooms. I have been working in three different educational institutions: VstarSchool (Ho Chi Minh City), ILE (Long An), and ANH HAO QUANG (Nhabe). I have been using classroom observations, student & teachers feedback, and my own reflections to dig into what really happens when students work together. I found that when structuring right a group work leads to a stronger communication, based on confidence and ownership of learning with emotional involvement. That said, there were challenges too such as keeping groups balanced and making sure everyone contributed. But with the right planning and reflection, those issues became manageable.
