Abstract:

The aim of this article is to describe the direct and potential impacts Erasmus+ Capacity Building Higher Education (CBHE) - Project called “Empowering Vietnamese VET teachers for transformation towards Education 4.0” (EMVITET)- after one year of implementation. Additionally, the survey findings also summarized the institutional and teachers’ personal experiences during the Covid-19 pandemic, which pushed Vietnamese institutions to rapidly transform their education to online environments. Qualitative data were collected with online questionnaires from six partner institutions and 35 teacher participants. The findings indicate that both individual teacher participants and partner institutions were given a boost to improve Education 4.0 competencies thanks to the participatory and collaborative approach of the EMVITET- project. The project was perceived as an useful external source for supporting the institutions’ management in organizing demanding online education during Covid-19 pandemic.
