The purpose of this study is to test the correct perceptions of parents on the influence of families on the formation and personality development of primary students in Vietnamese urban. This study uses a quantitative approach to data collection. The questionnaire was designed based on the Linkert scale that includes the awareness and evaluation of 136 parents of the students on the impact of family education on the personality of primary students in Vietnamese urban. The reliability of the scale was conducted on SPSS 20.0 software. The research results show that there are 5 contents and 5 family education methods that are commonly used by parents of students in urban areas of Vietnam where economic and social conditions are common. The parenting and educational level of the parents is relatively favorable. Most parents are aware of the importance of family education to the personality of primary students. The attention of parents plays an important role in the child’s personal development at the beginning of elementary school. With a traditional education background based on Confucian thought, Vietnamese families always give a lot of attention to their children. However, the fact shows that, in Vietnamese urban, the overdone care of parents negatively affects the personal development of children. The paper contributes to the literature on the role of family education in Vietnamese urban in the development of elementary school student character. In addition, the study also provides evidence to adjust the views of Vietnamese parents on the contents and methods of developing the personality of children, which is meant for reference for families, educators and researchers in similar contexts.
Global Citizenship Education (GCED) plays a critical role in training learners, including youths, to be critically literate, socially connected and concerned citizens. As well as the increasing international attention, GCED is also becoming a key point of focus in Vietnam educational context. The Vietnam National Institute of Educational Sciences (VNIES) has conducted a national research project in which approximately 2000 school students, over 200 teachers and 100 school managers were involved to fill in paper questionnaires and interviews regarding GCED in their school settings. The results sketch a general picture of knowledge, skills and attitudes of Vietnamese students in relation with GCED. Insights from this research open up suggestions for further studies and investigations into teaching, learning and managing activities in Vietnamese schools in order to better implement GCED in the national education system.

In order to implement the National Action Plan of the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, Vietnam needs to focus on completing the institutional policy system to ensure a full legal framework for the action plan, in which the education for sustainable development should always be focused. The article reviews the current status of national policies on education for sustainable development in preschool and general education in three areas of economy, culture - society and environment. From that point of view, the article provides some key findings about the achieved results, as well as the shortcomings and limitations of national policies related to education for sustainable development. Based on the results of the policy analysis, the authors have made recommendations on a number of key solutions to improve the effectiveness of planning and implementation of education policies for sustainable development in preschool and general education in Vietnam. Among the recommendations mentioned, the development and implementation of coordination mechanisms among stakeholders is considered as the key solutions to improve the effectiveness of planning and implementing education policies for sustainable development.
There is no argument amongst educators that a teacher’s feedback represents a significant contribution to a learner’s in-class learning outcomes. However, while the contribution of a teacher’s feedback is significant there are also challenges associated with the effectiveness of a teacher’s feedback. These challenges, the authors suggest, centre mainly on the effectiveness of the discourse between the teacher and the leaner. To possibly assist in addressing some of the challenges associated with the effectives of a teacher’s feedback this paper outlines that there needs to be an emphasis on Future Actionable Knowledge. Future Actionable Knowledge, the authors contend, is driven by Assessment To Learning, which highlights the use of interconnected formative assessment tasks within the teaching and learning space. By highlighting the use of interconnected formative assessment to drive Assessment To Learning, the authors believe, influences a teacher’s feedback to the learner by providing the leaner and the teacher with Future Actionable Knowledge, facilitated through Multi-Dimensional Discourse, via Feedback-Feedforward Learning, whereby, the teaching and learning activities associated with the learning space focus on value-adding to the in-class learning of the learner
As the world has become more digitally interconnected than ever before in the 21stcentury, the next generation is required to possess various sets of new skills to succeed in their works and lives. The purpose of the article is to present a dataset of socio-demographic, in-school, out-of-school factors as well as the eight domains of 21st-century skills of Vietnamese secondary school students. A total of 1183 observations from 30 secondary schools in both rural and urban areas of Vietnam are introduced in this dataset. The linear regression analysis was also utilized as an analysis example for this dataset. The insights generated from the dataset are hoped to contribute to skills-based education and policy planning in Vietnam.

Geometric thinking is considered to be one of the most controversial thinkings. Many researches have observed that children have various opportunities to cultivate the elements of geometric thinking at different levels throughout mathematical activities. Having experimented, we found out that these puzzle games are both attractive and potential to develop visualization, imagination and thinking in terms of shapes. Tri Uan is a seven-piece tangram, which is popular in Vietnam. This article presents the research of geometric thinking components and geometric activities through Tri Uan in order to develop geometric thinking at each level in children.
Under the impact of the socialist-oriented market economy and international integration, more and more autonomy has been assigned to public higher education institutions to encourage their appropriate and effective use of resources to improve training quality. In reviewing the model of human resource management and knowledge management based on the corporate social responsibility (CSR) approach, this paper presents a model built for developing academic staff under the consideration of several factors including external factors, internal factors, the autonomy and social responsibilities of the University for outputs, stakeholders (university administration board, investors, human resources units, university members) and the quality management of higher education institutions.
The paper presents the lecturing staff professional development process of the Education Faculty in a multi-disciplinary university the Mekong Delta of Vietnam within the current educational reform context. The paper is based on a qualitative interpretive case study that explored the context of the faculty and the practices of professional development for the teaching staff to address new requirements in higher education. Two data collection methods were used: analysis of policy documents (e.g. national educational policies, Education Law 2018, Higher Education Law 2019, provincial documents, and faculty reports), and informal interviews with four educational managers. The findings provided insights into the faculty context and developmental strategy, and revealed an imbalance in the faculty’s lecturing staff development and practical requirements. The paper offers some suggestions for the faculty’s developmental strategy and lecturers’ professional development, particularly to enhance the qualifications of the teaching staff who are capable of enacting educational reforms successfully in their local contexts.
