The findings identify a variety of similarities and differences between Finnish and Vietnamese curricula in the four paired dimensions. The results provide some implications for educators from the perspective of phenomenon- based learning.

This study also suggests the reconsideration of teachers’ autonomy in creating interesting and meaningful learning environments. The findings can provide teachers with pedagogical benefits and insights for lesson designs and directions towards the lifetime and holistic development of students’ intelligence, competencies, agency and motivations. These findings also give some academic ideas on how diversely phenomenon-based learning can be realized in national core curricula. ...
