TRANSPORTING THE IMAGE OF HO CHI MINH TO THE TEACHER IN BUILDING A TEACHING TEAM THAT MEETS THE NEW REQUIREMENTS

2026-03-05T02:47:49+07:00

Throughout his revolutionary career, President Ho Chi Minh paid special attention to education and teachers. He considered teaching a highly honourable profession and regarded teachers as “soldiers on the ideological and cultural front”, playing a decisive role in the “cultivation of people” and in training generations to carry on the revolutionary cause. In the current context, the Communist Party of Viet Nam and the State have promulgated a series of new policies, notably the Politburo’s Conclusion No. 91-KL/TW (2024) on further implementation of Resolution No. 29-NQ/TW, Resolution No. 71-NQ/TW (2025) on breakthrough development in education and training, and the Teachers Law No. 73/2025/QH15 (2025) – the first sectoral law on teachers. Drawing on Ho Chi Minh’s thought on teachers, this article clarifies the core contents relating to the position and role of teachers, their qualities, style and methods; analyses new requirements for the teaching workforce in the context of implementing Conclusion 91-KL/TW, Resolution 71-NQ/TW and the Teachers Law; and proposes several orientations and policy implications for educational management in order to build a teaching workforce that is both virtuous and competent, politically steadfast, ethically committed, professionally capable and digitally competent, thus meeting the demands of educational reform and national development towards 2030 and 2045.

2026-03-05T03:21:27+07:00

Global competence is increasingly regarded as an essential competence for teachers and educational administrators in the context of international integration. This study investigates the levels of awareness, readiness, challenges and the application of global competence in the professional practices of teachers and school managers in Vietnam. Data were collected through a questionnaire-based survey involving 286 participants. The findings indicate that participants generally demonstrated moderate to high levels of awareness and readiness, particularly in recognizing the importance of intercultural education. However, the implementation of global competence continues to face several challenges, including limited foreign language proficiency, time constraints, complex administrative regulations and insufficient institutional support. In professional practice, the use of technology to integrate global elements was more prevalent than direct collaboration with international partners. Based on these findings, the study highlights the need to integrate global competence into professional development programs for teachers and educational administrators to enhance the effectiveness of implementation.

APPLYING THE THEORY OF SELF-SETTING GOALS TO ENHANCE INTEGRATED MOTIVATION IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS: A CASE STUDY OF TRA VINH UNIVERSITY

2026-03-05T03:24:29+07:00

This study analyzes the application of Self-Setting Goal Theory to enhance work motivation for administrators, lecturers and staff at Tra Vinh University during the period 2020 - 2025. Secondary data from the university's activity report shows that Tra Vinh University has achieved significant accomplishments in faculty scientific publications and the development and accreditation of internationally standardized training programs; its WURI ranking increased from 62nd (2022) to 29th/400 (2025) thanks to strategies encouraging autonomous goals.

The study proposes an “OKR-AI TVU” model that integrates Objectives and Key Results with artificial intelligence to personalize goals and enhance intrinsic motivation. The research methodology combines secondary document analysis and SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis. The results show that the model has the potential to increase research productivity by 25 - 40% and reduce employee turnover. The research contributes to the theory of higher education governance in Vietnam and provides a practical basis for local universities in the context of autonomy and digital transformation.

A METHODOLOGICAL COMPARISON BETWEEN MARXIST - LENINIST POLITICAL ECONOMY AND MODERN ECONOMICS

2026-03-05T03:26:26+07:00

This article explores the philosophical and methodological foundations of Marxist - Leninist political economy in comparison with dominant approaches in contemporary mainstream economics. Using a comparative analytical framework, the study contrasts the principles of dialectical and historical materialism with methodological orientations commonly associated with mainstream economics, such as positivism, marginal analysis, mathematical modeling and econometric techniques. The analysis identifies key differences in underlying worldviews and research orientations: Marxist - Leninist political economy emphasizes historical context, structural relationships and socio-economic transformation, whereas mainstream economics tends to prioritize formal modeling, micro-level analysis and empirical validation. At the same time, the study highlights areas of methodological complementarity between the two traditions. It argues that a pluralistic and integrative approach - combining philosophical reflection on historical and social structures with rigorous analytical and empirical tools - can enhance the explanatory capacity of economic research and contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of contemporary economic challenges related to sustainable and inclusive development.

THE MEDIATING ROLE OF TRUST IN VIETNAMESE UNDERGRADUATES’ INTENTION TO USE FOREIGN-LANGUAGE EDUCATION SOFTWARE

2026-03-05T03:30:13+07:00

Amid the expansion of digital education, online language-learning software is increasingly adopted by university students. This study identifies the determinants of students’ intention to use and examines the mediating role of customer trust. Using a snowball sampling technique during a three-month period (January - April 2025), survey data from 378 Vietnamese undergraduates were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Results indicate that trust is the dominant mediator linking usage experience and social proof to intention to use. User reviews exert the strongest effect on trust, followed by perceived convenience and perceived quality. Notably, influencer endorsements have no significant impact. The study recommends that language-learning platforms prioritize user-experience improvements and encourage authentic user feedback rather than relying primarily on KOL-driven promotion. By leveraging the power of electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM), platforms can effectively build trust and promote students' intention to use the foreign-language education software.
