In conclusion, the studies on occupation adaptation show that, the authors refer to the concept of occupation adaptation, subjective, objective factors, and specific indicators for occupation adaptation. The
7 authors have the same opinion that occupation adaptation process of adaptation to the characteristics and conditions of employment and the labor process. Occupation Adaptation is the process of adaptation shown in all three aspects of the human psychology: awareness, emotion and action. The internal factors have an important role to the level of adaptation of individual to professional activities, such as profession trends; profession building plans; the profession decisions; intellect index. However, the authors do not analyse the content of adaptation to professional activities, as well as process of specific adaptation to help the audience with better adaptation in the different occupation environments; the projects do not present some typical cases of subjects with occupation adaptation to clarify theoretical and practical issues of the study. 1.2. Research on adaptation to learning Research on adaptation to learning is studied by many foreign authors in many different aspects, from different educational levels from elementary school to university. Bren P.Allen thinks that students wanting to adapt to learning in universities must form skills: Managing strictly personal time budgets; learning skills; overpowering negative emotions to overcome the difficulties in learning, examinations; choosing the forms of learning; being active, forming habits, behaviours of profession. The work of H.W. Bernard confirms the role of positive relationships between teachers and students, to adapt to the learning activity, not only students are active to study but teachers are active in teaching. Through his study, the author points out specific measures to help students quickly adapt to learning. Chen Xinyin author of works: "Frustration of Chinese children: The importance of the development for the adaptation to a school and society".

Sukina, Wendy S.Grolnick; Marika Silvan studies the adaptation of primary school students and shows adaptation model; adaptation process and the working methods and pedagogical dynamic impact to help students adapt well. In Vietnam, many authors have studied the adaptation of learning of students in different ages and different environments. Author Vu Thi Nho with scientists in the work "The adaptation of learning of elementary students" considers the adaptation to learning activity a form of social adaptation and including two main aspects: firstly, adaptation to the academic relationship but mainly the relationship between teachers students; secondly, the adaptation to the requirements of the learning. Author Do Manh Ton has a study "Research on adaptation to learning and practicing of academies in the army." Author Phan Quoc Lam with the theme: "The adaption of learning of pupils in grades 1". It was found that, authors Phan Quoc Lam, Do Manh Ton, Nguyen Xuan Thuc, Le Ngoc Lan from the perspective of psychology of activities, they do research on adaptation. With them, activities are not only objects but methods of adaptation. It means that adaptation is to adapt to activities and to do this, the individual must put into operation, through their own operation. Through this process individuals acquire experience, forming the new psychological structure, helping individuals overcome these difficulties and ensure action results. Authors Nguyen Thac, Do Thi Thanh Mai, Dang Thi Lan Duong Thi Thoan, Nguyen Thi Ut Sau had the research on adaptation to the learning of students in different school environments. The
9 works have shown that students do not have suitable learning methods, which is the reason why the level of students’ adaptation is not high. Besides, the authors also developed the specific measures of pedagogical psychology to enhance the degree of adaptation to student learning. In summary, the research work on the adaptation to learning of students, students in the world and Vietnam has studied many aspects of adaptation in learning. From these studies, the authors has identified the objective criteria to measure the expression of adaptation and learning and indicated many subjective and objective factors affecting students’ adaptation process.
