Abstract

The roles and characteristics of social studies teachers, as human factors that directly influence students’ motivation and attitudes, merit careful scholarly investigation, particularly within the context of cross-national comparative education in the ASEAN Community. This academic article aims to present the desirable characteristics of social studies teachers at the ASEAN Community level through an in-depth case study of Vietnam. The study synthesizes insights derived from lesson learned sessions conducted during academic network meetings of higher education faculty members in the field of social sciences from ASEAN member countries. The findings lead to the development of the ASIES Framework, a conceptual model comprising five essential attributes of social studies teachers in the ASEAN Community: Academic competence, Speech and communication skills, Integrative ability, Experiential knowledge, and Situational awareness. These attributes collectively reflect the core professional qualities required of social studies teachers to effectively respond to the diverse educational, social, and cultural contexts within the ASEAN region.
