News Monday, 09:00 10-05-2021

While the traditional teaching method focuses on transferring knowledge from teachers to the learners, competence-based education motivates them to acquire, create and translate knowledge into reality effectively. Competence-based education is to train the capacity and active thinking so the learners know how to make the best out of other people’s knowledge and apply what they have learnt into real-life situations. Based on the concept and experiences of competence-based education, the author proposes some recommendations to standardize the media and communication programs at the Academy of Journalism and Communication in particular and in the country in general.

Protecting the Party’s Ideological Foundation, Fighting to Refute the False and Hostile Views of the Vietnamese Young Intellectuals: Current Situation and Solutions

Abstract: Entering the era of the fourth industrial revolution, intellectuals have demonstrated their pivotal role in the development of many countries in the world, including Vietnam. Vietnamese young intellectuals are increasingly growing and affirming their indispensable position in the modern workforce. Being well-trained, being able to think independently, study, enrich and spread knowledge, as well as to live and work in a knowledge-based environment, most of Vietnamese young intellectuals can perceive and interpret political information (which related to the Party’s ideological foundation) in a propriate, correct, moderate, and profound way with intrinsic and professional vision. However, there is still a part of young intellectuals who are fluctuated in political stance and thus, have some inappropriate behaviors such as sharing information of hostile forces on social networks, being taken advantage of by forces to act against our social stability. Therefore, it is urgently necessary to study the current situation and to suggest some solutions to improve the Vietnamese young intellectuals’ behavior culture in protecting the Party’s ideological foundation and fighting against wrong and hostile views.
