10. Summary of thesis results:
This study aims to understand the current situation and factors affecting aggressive behavior of students at Trung Chinh Secondary School - Luong Tai - Bac Ninh, in order to propose appropriate intervention measures to reduce this behavior from the perspective of Social Work. Based on the approach of the theoretical system of aggressive behavior and the use of interdisciplinary research methods, we analyze and explain the results of the study.
Through research on the current state of awareness of aggressive behavior of students in the surveyed area, it shows that: 1) Awareness of aggression and manifestations of this behavior in surveyed students is still limited. Confusion and incomplete awareness of aggressive behavior and the nature of this behavior have caused students to not have accurate identification of aggressive behavior in specific situations of life; 2) Our research results also reflect to some extent the current state of aggressive behavior of students with diversity in forms of aggression and manifestations with different frequencies and levels. The explanation for this is due to the differentiation in terms of awareness and the conditions affecting the above behavior of students are also different; 3) The consequences of aggressive behavior, whether considered serious or less serious, have negative impacts on learning activities, cognitive-emotional development, and surrounding relationships of students who commit aggressive behavior, are abused, and witness aggressive behavior.
Currently, methods or measures to reduce aggressive behavior in schools have been applied at a specific level but not thoroughly, comprehensively and mainly deal with incidents after they have occurred and left consequences. Therefore, applying group social work intervention measures through the group work process according to this method is a new option at the school that we are conducting research here. According to this approach, along with the initial results, the set goals have been achieved to a certain extent, we propose a model of group social work with the role of school social workers in helping students reduce current aggressive behavior in a more practical and effective way.
11. Practical application:
The research results of the topic show that intervention activities to reduce aggressive behavior at Trung Chinh Secondary School have not been implemented effectively and appropriately. The process of building intervention methods and conducting activities according to the model of group social work has contributed to affirming the role and positive impacts of Social Work in general, specifically the method of Group Social Work in reducing aggressive behavior of secondary school students. From research and experimentation with the results obtained, we propose a model of group social work with the role of school social workers in helping students reduce current aggressive behavior in a more practical and effective way.
12. Further research directions:
Social work with problems arising in schools.
The need for school social workers.

10. Summary of the findings of the thesis:
This study is on the reality and aspects affecting the aggressive behavior of students at Trung Chinh Secondary School – Luong Tai – Bac Ninh so that we would propose for solutions with reasonable interactions with an aim of reducing this behavior under the perspective of Social Work. Based on the approach of theory on the aggressive behavior as well as the research methods on multiple sectors, we analyze and explain the findings of our study.
According to the observation study on the reality of the aggressive behavior of students, it shows that: 1) The awareness of aggressive behavior of students at the study area will be limited. There is a misunderstanding and infficient awareness on the aggressive behavior as well as the nature of this behavior. Therefore, students may not have determine exactly which is an aggressive behavior in a specific circumstance; 2) The findings of our study also represent the real situation on aggressive behavior of students under various circumstances and frequency in the life. This real situation is due to the classsification in awareness and different conditions affecting the aggressive behavior of students; 3) The consequence of aggressive behavior even if it is serious or not serious will cause bad effects to the study and development in awareness and sentiment and relationship of the students that have aggressive behavior or witness such behavior.
At this present, the methods or measures on decreasing the aggressive behavior will be applied but they may not be complete and full. These methods and measures would mainly apply to specific cases happened with bad consequences in real situation. Therefore, the application of the interaction method of social work group under the process of group working will be a new method at the school where we conduct our study and research. Under this approach, accompanied with the effectiveness and achievements within the limited level, we propose a model of group social work with the role of social workers in the school in assisting the students in reducing the aggressive behavior currently in a more effective manner.
11. Practical applicability, if any:
Based on the findings of the thesis, we found that the interaction activities for decreasing aggress behavior at Trung Chinh Secondary School may not be applied reasonably and effectively. In the process of creating the interaction methods and conducting the activities under group social work model, it shows the roles and positive effects of social work in general and the method of group social work in particular for reducing the aggressive behavior of students. To our study and our real observation, we propose a model of group social work with the role of social workers in schools in assessing the students in decreasing their aggressive behavior more effectively.
12. Further research directions, if any:
- Social Work with issues that arise in Schools
- The need for Social Workers in Schools
