In this article, using the Construal-Level Theory (Trope et Liberman, 2010), we measured the construal level of high school students' learning; and validated the measurement scale of the alliance with the study plan of high school students in the Vietnam context including 3 dimensions: Attitude (3 items), Intention (3 items) and Behavior (5 items) following a quantitative survey of 304 students from 2 high schools in Danang, Vietnam. The result showed that the lower the construal level of high school students' learning (concrete construal level) is, the greater the alliance with the study plan is and vice versa. At a low psychological distance, students would be more allied with the study plan, so will achieve better exam results. Therefore, this gives us the idea of proposing new educational approaches to the educational programs, in order to lower the construal level of learning (by shortening psychological distances)

Appendix A. Situations to measure construal levels of high school students' learning 
In order to best prepare for the Graduation examination, you have set yourself a serious study plan. 
 Situation 1. As the exam will take place in the distant future (in 3 years), at the beginning of the 10 th grade, 
you have made some deviations from your study plan. 
 Situation 2. A group of friends organizes an excursion, you are invited. Still, you have to give up some 
extra lessons to participate to it. You were not very comfortable but you still took part in the excursion

you up. You can walk but the road is far enough.

study plan is no longer really necessary.
