HCM CITY — More and more universities in Viet Nam are using a well-known teaching
methodology to improve training quality and improve learning in the classroom.
Since 2010, the conceive-design-implement-operate
(CDIO) model has been used at three universities in the country: in the
engineering faculty at HCM City University of Technology, the information
technology faculty at HCM City Natural Sciences University and the foreign
economics faculty at Ha Noi University of Economics.
Experts gathered Thursday to
discuss the CDIO model at a two-day national conference organised by the
Ministry of Education and Training in co-operation with Viet Nam National
University-HCM City.
The model has helped the schools
to successfully redesign training programmes and improve the professional
capacity of its lecturers, according to Nguyen Huu Loc of the University of
Technology.
The international CDIO
Association has more than 90 member universities in five continents, including
HCM City National University and Duy Tan University in Da Nang.
The model is also being used at
the University of Banking, University of Technical Education, University of
Economics, Van Lang University in HCM City, Duy Tan University in Da Nang, An
Giang University and Lac Hong University in Dong Nai Province.
Students in the IT faculty at HCM
City Natural Sciences University said the methodology had helped to provide
them with a clear career orientation, as well as better professional skills to
support them in the future.
Lecturers' teaching methods are
more lively, and the students have more opportunities to practise what they
learn.
Dinh Ba Tien, of the IT faculty,
said that his students thought the CDIO-based classes were more interesting.
Conference attendees said they
hoped that the gap between schools' training and employers' demands could be
narrowed with the use of the CDIO method.
