Introduction
1.Motivation of research
The process of active teaching-learning related to intellectual abilities,
qualifications, professional qualities and personality attributes perceived to operate
transformed into property for him. The theory asserted teaching-learning method is
solving active learning tasks. The selection and use of appropriate teaching-learning
methods are very important significance for the quality of teaching. In strategic reform
of national education systems Laos, years 2006-2015 proposed "innovation objectives,
new contents of educational "and "training teachers and innovative methods teaching-
learning ". But in reality, teaching mathematics in secondary schools Lao PDR shows
innovation is not significant and no research on the application of perspective in active
teaching-learning in math. From the above reasons, the topic chosen is "Applying
theory active learning to teaching-learning Arithmetic and Algebra in grade six at
schools the Lao People's Democratic Republic."
2. Research objectives
To find out ways on applying the theory active learning to teaching-learning
Arithmetic and Algebra in grade six at schools Lao PDR
3. Research function • Survey requirements and the status of mathematics
teaching methods in schools Lao PDR. • System view of theory active learning was
operated teaching-learning in mathematics in secondary schools. • Apply perspective
of active learning to teaching Arithmetic and Algebra in Grade 6 to improve the quality
of learning for pupils. • Pedagogical experiments to evaluate results of the topic.
4. Sciences hypothetical
If the math teacher is fostering operational perspective theoretical approach
combines the practical point of view it may be used effectively in teaching practice,
2
contributing to innovative teaching methods because point operations are core elements
of active teaching methods in the schools.
5. Research Methodology • Use research methods to solve reasoning tasks (2), (3),
and a part of the mission (1) (requirements for teaching math in Laos) • Investigate
around the world to create products to the world and to the human product. Humans
have created products to the world, has created its own psychology, and human
psychology to be revealed, to occur inactive and through the actives. According to
Marxist psychology, human life is an actives stream, is the goal of human actives
interchangeably. Nguyen Xuan Thuc said the actives are mode of human existence.
The first is action process of humans as material of goal in the world (world materials),
to create products which contain the psychological characteristics of the person who
created it. The second is the process of humans transforming those contained in world
into myself; get more experienced of the world, these attributes, the rules of the
world the human can comprehension and understanding process.
1.1.1.2 The actives characteristics - Actives are always the object of actives
available or appear during action process. Actives learning are aimed at knowledge,
skills to know, understand, acquire and put into the experience itself, which is
acquiring knowledge &skills. - Actives are always carried out by the goal/subject to
action. The teacher is the subject of teaching-learning actives. Students are subject to
academic actives. The subject is a person, sometimes some people. Both teachers and
students are the subject of teaching-learning actives. - Actives action indirect of the
principle or using tools. People using voice, writing, numbers and pictures of
psychology as a tool for organizational psychology and control in every human spirit.
- Actives are always certain purposes. In all the actives of human purpose is very clear.
Learning to get knowledge, skills and perception preparing action into life.

1.1.1.3 Structure of actives Life is a series of human actives. Actives are always
motivated; take action to achieve the goals and to solve a given task. The aim is
regulated by the means and the specific conditions where the action takes place. Action
by the manipulation of the city, the actives depend on the means and conditions to
achieve specific goals.
1.1.1.4 Types of actives Human actives are divided into two categories: active
labor and actives indirect. If individual development, are three types succession of
actives such as fun actives, learning and working. In other addition, actives are divided
related to certain activities. Contents mathematic grade 6 of teaching actives are
concepts, rules and exercises. The principal activities of secondary school students in
grades 6 Laos is: identify activities, express a concept, a principle, a method, complex
math operations, intelligence operations and joint operations the lanquage.
1.1.4 The meaning of an active perspective in teaching math in school
Active perspective reflects the basic components of psychological, elements basis of
teaching-learning methods and prove the Marxist theory on human development. In
teaching actives for students to conduct self-learning, actives, positive, effective and
ensure overall development of the body.
1.2 Innovative of teaching-learning methods
1.2.1 The need for innovation teaching-learning methods The strengthening
development of human resources needed to enhance teaching-learning methods by
towards strengthening and training actives to foster level of knowledge, skills,
autonomy regular school (self-learning, self-study) and lifelong learning and
creativity, enabling students to make collective a favorable learning environment,
6
students interact and learn from each other emulation mutual learning and promote
active learning process.
1.2.2 Orientation innovation of teaching-learning methods. If not the only once
way, is to create opportunities for students learning by active, self-discipline, initiative
and creativity. The needs to become oriented the innovation of teaching-learning
methods and is call orientation actives [23]. Orientation innovation of teaching-
learning methods that can be applied effectively and contribute to schools Lao PDR.
1.3 Contents of curriculum and textbooks in Mathematics grade 6 schools at
Lao PDR Secondary program in Laos consists of 4 layers: 6, 7, 8 and 9. Grade 6
program of Laos equivalent of grade 6 in Vietnam. 6
th
grade math texbook of Laos was
compiled by education reform program and was released in 2010 to use.
6
teaching methods. They use teaching methods require less active students, teachers
work mainly. The cause of this situation is by teacher limited retraining to innovation
teaching methods. Although, some teachers have train themselves fostered by reading,
but confusion in the application of the actual teaching. • Student motivated to
learning weak, lazy thinking and lack of initiative. The cause of the students' learning
not high because teacher to teach not create encouragement for students interested in
learning is a significant of part. The survey was conducted in schools in Vientiane seen
such poor quality that the schools in remote rural areas, many learning conditions is
limited, such as the quality of learning will how? This is inevitable and urgent reform
of teaching-learning methods to enhance the quality of student learning.
Chapter 2: Applying active theory into teaching-learning arithmetic and
algebra grade 6 at school Lao PDR In chapter 1 we was present an overview
of the actives theory in teaching-learning, students actives learning mathematics in
schools of grade 6 and innovative of teaching-learning methods. Orientation applied to

carried out to implement the basic purposes: Illustrations, testing the feasibility and
effectiveness of the application of Perspective in teaching actives in accordance with
accounting practices education Democratic Republic of Lao People nowadays.
3.2. Experimental Organization We conduct controlled experiments, each lesson
experimental 2 periods, an experimental class and comparison with a control class.
Students experimental classes and control classes where the number of academic and
classified approximately the same. Experimental class by a teacher that we undertake
refresher class is taught by a teacher certified to teach others. All of the teacher are
vocational approximately and age the similar.Conclude the experiment, we examined
in experimental classes and control classes with the same title, the same as all marking
time and answers with the same scale.Content assessment is: check the level of

3.3.2.1 Contents and process of training teachers
After training we were comments 20 teachers of participated in training course,
assessment teacher result of training processes 90% was very reasonable, 10% was
reasonable and 100% was very rewarding, useful and a breakthrough to enhance the
quality of teaching in Lao PDR.
3.3.2.2 The use level into teaching-learning of teacher’s experimental
The evaluation, we found that teachers participate in training course understand
and how to apply knowledge to design lesson plans. Through interviews and opinions
of the teachers observe in a lesson class: Teacher a little lecture, change to called
students on the board more than 4 times, oral (ask question, think and respond) more
than 4 times, teachers suggesting and help students solve problems more than 4 times,
teachers facilitate student discussions in small groups (2 to 4 people), student-self
exercise several times, and following attention the solution and lecture.

Some recommendations: Through research topics, to improve the quality of
Mathematics teaching at secondary schools in Lao PDR, we outlined a number of
recommendations follows: For teachers often need to improve. The educational
institutions and schools have considered the training and retraining of teachers is often
important task for improving the quality of teaching. Special attention should be given
training for teachers of modern teaching-learning methods which always make students
self-discipline, active and creative learning. At the same time training teachers to use
the equipment and modern techniques for teaching the subject. For students, set them
voluntarily, active in school by energetically speaking, answering questions posed by
the teacher. In addition to know how to set the learning at home. Strengthening the
provision of facilities and equipment, modern teaching techniques, reference materials
for teachers and students. Innovative programs, order lessons textbook for reasonable
and logical.
