Reasons for choosing thesis topic Facing the request and the task of building and defending the country in the new situation, the need of improving the political, worldview, scientific methodology, practical operational capacity for learners, the improve the quality of teaching in the military college to become an urgent requirement. More than ever, the lectures must constantly self-improve, train their virtuous character and pedagogical competence, including teaching techniques. Therefore, the strengthening and developing the teaching staff ensures the quantity and structure, in which focuses "heightening the level of education, competence and pedagogical skills" is one of the major tasks of the military colleges in the spirit of the Resolution on education - training in the new situation of the Central Military Party Committee and Resolutions of the 11th Party national Congress "Building up the teacher force in sufficient quantity to meet quality requirements." Lectures are the main force of the colleges and are the decisive factor the quality of education - training. Therefore, building up the lecturer staff who have good qualifications and capability to meet the requirements of education - training in the new situation is a fundamental, frequent task and is a central political task of the military colleges nowadays. The lecturers in the military colleges must do many responsipilities and tasks in the process of implementing their functions to perform: teaching, educating learners, do scientific research and implement other tasks in accordance with the rules of the Ministry of Defense. In which, teaching is considered central political task of the lecturers in the military colleges. With the leading role in organizing and controling the teaching process, the lectures plays a decisive role to the quality of teaching in the military colleges. Teaching is a regular activity of teachers in general, of the lectures in the military colleges in particular. The results of teaching activities is one of the criteria for evaluating the training-education quality of the colleges, qualifications and capability assessment of lecturers. Like any human activities, if the teaching activities is effective, the lecturers must have teaching techniques. Teaching techniques reflect expertise of pedagogical techniques of lecturers. The more perfect teaching techniques are, the higher quality of the teaching process is. In recent years, the military schools, especially the military colleges has actively innovated, improved programs, contents, teaching methods to meet the educational- training task in the new situation. These results have been confirmed by the training products of the military schools: "Students graduated from the militaries schools have relatively comprehensive quality both on the political qualification and revolutionary moral, the knowledge and skills that meet the tasks under the initial positions and has the ability to develop." The results that have contributed enormous role of the teaching staff and has proven qualities, qualifications and pedagogical competence of lecturers in military schools. However, in the process of teaching, some lecturers have not created excitement for learners. The lectures are too much abstract theories and one-way teaching of knowledge that lead to the low teaching quality. The phenomena are still taking place such as some lecturers has not mastered the teaching activities and has been confused by pedagogical situations, has not been skillful when conducting teaching activities. One of the reasons is the lecturers are lack of the teaching techniques, or they have not mastered. Understanding the role of teaching techniques to improve quality of teaching process in particular, the quality of education - training in general, many authors in the world and in Vietnam have done many researches on teaching techniques with the different approaches. However, these works mainly refers to the technique of teaching in general, no work researches deeply on the basical teaching technic and points out the specific teaching techniques implementation procedures. In particular, the improvement of teaching techniques of lecturers in general, of the lecturers in the military colleges in particular has not been studied systematically and specifically as an independent research. Deriving from these objective and urgent requirements above, we choose issues "Improving teaching techniques for the military college lecturers" as research subject, to contribute to improving teaching quality, the quality of education - training in military colleges. 3.
