A competence is a structure that facilitates specific behaviors. General competences include thinking skills such as logical reasoning, analysis, and problem solving; effective communication skills, teamwork skills, ability to identify, access and manage knowledge and information; Personal attributes such as imagination and creativity. A competency assessment system must have key performance indicators, defined in relation to success factors. To develop a set of indicators to evaluate general competences, the research team at VNU Institute for Educational Quality Assurance selected 122 indicators of 13 general competences to test at a group of 30 students studying at 2nd, 3rd and 4th year at VNU member universities through their self-assessment of the level of achievement of competence indicators. The test results showed that the highest achieved indicators were "Respect and demand respect for other cultures similar to one's own" and "See human relationships in terms of respect." Equality". Indicators of information technology capacity such as "The ability to use information and communication technology in a way with a clear purpose and responsibility" did not reach a high level of achievement, especially 4 indicators related to skills. Information technology application, skills in working with computing software, and internet research skills in studying, researching, and working are all at low levels. Some indicators of creativity and application are not high. Indicators related to creative capacity were not at high achievement.

Creativity is one of the fundamental skills of the 21st century and has become a crucial task in education. This article provides a definition of creative thinking manifested in generating novel, unique, and valuable ideas and solutions to address posed problems. Characteristics of creativity such as fluency, originality, flexibility, and elaboration serve as indicators to evaluate the level of creativity in products of the engineering design process. Recognizing the importance of creativity in a dynamic world, creative education has been integrated into the mainstream education curriculum through the implementation of STEM teaching. Following this, the concept of design-based learning has been introduced as a STEM teaching approach based on integrating the engineering design process into classrooms, allowing learners to apply scientific and technological knowledge and skills to complex real-life problems. Finally, research in STEM education through the engineering design process to enhance learners' creative thinking has been synthesized. The aim is to provide ideas and guidance for teachers in organizing STEM teaching, aligning with the goal of fostering creativity for citizens in the digital age.

Using data from the Labour Force Survey in 2018, 2019, and 2020, this paper is the first to analyze the employment issues of workers with university degrees in the fields of teacher education and education science in Vietnam. The results show that about 90% of the workers employed in the public sector and about 85% doing the jobs matched their field of study. However, the proportion of workers with matched jobs is much lower for those without social insurance and without a formal labor contract. The percentage of workers having social insurance and formal labor contracts is higher for those with mismatched jobs (about 98%) than for those with matched jobs (about 90%). The results of probit regression reveal that age and job sectors have a significant impact on the probability of workers having social insurance and formal labor contracts, while job mismatch has a negligible effect on the probability of workers having formal labor contracts.

Evaluating fake news for factuality is a complex and critical task. This area of research has recently gained significant attention. Our study investigates the link between various factors and the ability to detect fake news, based on a survey of 1161 students from two Vietnamese universities. Most students struggle to discern fake news. To equip students with the tools to combat misinformation, we explore the connection between various factors and the ability to detect fake news. We propose two sets of solutions: individual-level solutions (perception, attitude, and behavior) and system-level solutions (strategic source identification, machine learning, propaganda awareness, and media literacy education). Analysis using the PLS-SEM model shows that the three individual-level solutions significantly contribute to detecting fake news, with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.503.

An exploratory research is conducted to examine the current situation and factors related to the mental health of students. A cross-sectional study was carried out on 295 students at a high school in Hanoi in 2023. This research, which employed the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire 25 items toolkit with a cut-off point of 15, revealed that a significant percentage of students have general mental health problems. Emotional symptoms account for the largest percentage of students, followed by prosocial behaviour, peer problems, conduct problems, and hyperactivity. The likelihood of mental health issues among students is increased by certain personal variables, such as low self-esteem or disappointment about grades, concern or depreciation about physical appearances, refraining from participating in clubs, teams, or groups, not exercising or playing sports, and having the habit of staying up late. A few school-related factors that are associated with children's mental health problems include peer pressure, public punishments, and teachers’ reprimands.

Different from traditional universities, which have been formed for a long time to focus on solving academic problems and developing theories, since the beginning of the 20th century, urban universities has evolved from universities, located in the urban environment, into universities functioned to connect and develop urban areas. These universities were conceived to leverage local resources and uniqueness, provide access to higher education and work with partners to help cities be more successful in all aspects of their urban lives. Nowadays, with more than 85% of the US population living in urban areas, the urban focus would be ubiquitous in higher education. In Vietnam, the proportion of the population in urban areas is dramatically increasing, urban development and expansion is a dynamic process and requires a high concentration of research. Issues of urban infrastructure construction, traffic, changing living culture, building urban civilized institutions, livelihoods for people in the process of urban transformation, legal relations, markets, civic groups, etc., requires the formation of highly concentrated academic and research centers mentioned above. Within the framework of the Strengthening Provincial Capacity (SPC) project funded by the United States agency for international development - USAID, the School of Government of the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (a local institute) was selected to participate in the project's training programs. Before the end of the project lasting for more than two years, the authors of the School of Government had a working trip to Portland State University (PSU), a typical successful urban university. The presentation of an in-depth study of PSU itself - a locally cohesive research university - that solves major problems of Portland in particular, Oregon and the United States in general is the author's desire to introduce the urban university model to universities in Vietnam.
