This is a revolution in the university's training philosophy. With new tasks and requirements, lecturers are adapting in all aspects. To study this issue, we boldly explore the adaptation of lecturers in the university to credit-based training. - Adapting to credit-based teaching methods is a continuous process of self-adjustment at different levels to suit the circumstances, conditions, and objective requirements of the current credit-based training method, in order to maintain, survive, and improve the quality of teaching and learning for faculty, staff, and students in the school. - The main conclusions of the study are: + Firstly, regarding awareness: Most lecturers have a correct understanding of the school's policy and plan for transforming the training method and agree with this transformation. Lecturers actively and proactively learn about the credit-based training method to carry out their assigned tasks. + Secondly, lecturers' adaptation to credit-based teaching methods is demonstrated in the performance of the following tasks: Regarding course syllabi, lecturers have completed them according to the school's requirements; the syllabi ensure that they provide complete information about the lecturer and the course; Regarding class organization, lecturers face many difficulties for various reasons: large class sizes, limited self-study habits among students, many lecturers not yet adapting their teaching methods, etc.; Regarding student learning outcomes, lecturers also face difficulties in regularly assessing grades. + Thirdly, many factors influence the adaptation process of lecturers, including internal factors (perception, needs, motivation, satisfaction, etc.) and external factors (facilities, incentives, training policies, and staff development). 11. Practical application: - Identify the difficulties encountered in adapting to credit-based teaching methods so that lecturers, departments, faculties, and the university can find ways to overcome them. - Propose that the faculty and university organize training courses and experience sharing sessions on topics related to lecturers' teaching activities under the credit-based system. 12.
