This makes parents difficult to choose and English centers also need to have appropriate policies and strategies to improve competitiveness in the market.

CHAPTER 3. LITERATURE REVIEW
2 Historical background In the trend of Vietnam's international integration, Vietnam is participating in many international trade agreements such as EVFTA, CPTPP, …, training, and
Acceptance Model are the most commonly used theories to assess internet users' consuming behavior (TAM). 2.2 Theory of Reasoned Actions (TRA) Ajzen and Fishbein created the theory of rational action (TRA) in 1967, and it has been thoroughly calibrated throughout time. According to the TRA model (Ajzen and Fishbein, 1977), consumption tendencies are the greatest predictors of consumption behavior. Consider two aspects to be more interested in the factors that contribute to the buying trend: consumer attitudes and subjective standards. Customer attitudes are measured in this paradigm through the perception of product characteristics. Customers will notice qualities that give vital advantages and vary in importance. If the weights of such traits are known, the outcome of the consumer's choice may be predicted roughly. Subjective normative aspects can be measured by persons who are close to customers (such as family, friends, coworkers, etc. ); these people like or detest what they buy. Causal Diagram of Basic Components of the Theory of Reasoned Action
Source: Author Attitudes toward specific items or services are frequently better explained by models that explain attitudes toward consumer behavior. In other words, customers frequently prioritize self-benefit over the total advantages and features supplied by products and services (Hale, Householder and Greene, 2003). The premise that conduct is under the control of the will is the theory's most significant shortcoming. That is, the idea only applies to deliberate conscious activity. This hypothesis cannot
explain unreasonable behavioral decisions, habitual activities, or behaviors that are deemed unconscious (Ajzen and Fishbein, 1975). That's also why there was the birth of The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). 2.2 Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) The Theory of Planned Behavior is a psychology theory that connects people's ideas to their actions. This theory presents data detailing how three essential elements impact human behavior: attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. As a result, the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) has emerged as one of the most prominent study models for predicting and understanding human behavior. Ajzen researched and published the idea of planned conduct (1991). According to this idea, every human being in a social setting is capable of doing a certain behavior provided that person already has an intended background in the mental process. Theory of Planned Behavior:

Intention is generated and implemented in this approach to be described by the degree to which a person has a positive or negative appraisal of the activity based on personal perspective (attitude). Then, evaluate and analyze the significance of others' perceptions of whether or not to perform the desired
suitable for their family conditions and income. When choosing a good educational environment for their children, according to research by Suppramaniam, Kularajasingam and Sharmin (2019), parents choose based on factors such as: popularity of the school, school quality, future choice, parent's income level and parent's education level. The results were analyzed through SPSS software for the purpose of correlation and regression analysis to evaluate the significance of the research factors. In the results, it shows that the popularity of the school, the quality of the school, the parents' future choice and income level have a relationship with the choice of a private school but the educational level of the parents. has no relationship with school choice. Factors affecting parents' decisions are school quality, future choices, parents' income levels; but the popularity of the school and the education level of the parents did not influence the school choice decision. Mawene and Bal (2018) pointed out that choosing a learning environment for children is not an easy decision; and contains many different elements. The authors point out that the determinants of parental choice include the availability of educational programs, the distance of the school, social continuity, class size, and the characteristics of the school. teachers, parent-teacher communication, children's beliefs and health. This study also highlights the need for in-depth research into how parents from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds choose educational programs for their children. Tran et al. (2020) pointed out that parents in Vietnam have always wanted their children to have the opportunity to practice English every day through the urge for English education; which has led to the need for a high-quality educational program. Tran et al. (2020) provides conclusions on factors that affect parents' intentions when appointing an English center for their children, including: Facilities, Teachers, Brands, Factors Social and Tuition Fees; A total of 235 samples were analyzed. Analysis of sample responses shows the importance of five independent factors affecting the intention of parents to choose an English center in descending order. Through the analysis software SPSS 20, AMOS 20 and SEM analysis were processed to draw conclusions about the factors affecting the intention to choose an English center. Combined with the Multigroup analysis, the primary role of education was assessed in

relation to multiple correlations. In the context of the recent large and strong growth of the English language teaching market in Vietnam, a number of proposals and recommendations on sustainable development have been made in this study. In the Chapman (1981) model, two groups of factors affect students' choice of school. The first group includes the characteristics of the student and family, which will be one of the prerequisites to help students choose the right school for their family conditions and personal characteristics. The second group is a number of specific external factors such as: Influential individuals (parents, friends, teachers, colleagues…), Fixed characteristics of the school (Reputation, facilities). facilities, teaching staff, tuition, location, curriculum), School communication efforts with students (written communication, school visits, admission). Based on the survey results, he showed that the factors that greatly affect students' decision to choose a university are: characteristics of the school (including reputation, facilities, teachers and students). fees), Personal characteristics and families, parents, friends, teachers, and School communication efforts with students are influential and trustworthy in selecting schools to attend.
