The formation of the school community group identity is ensured by the ability of each member to collectively analyze their activities and their consequences. “My class”, methods of determining the state of formation of the active self-concepts, and fundamental interpersonal relations questionnaire (FIRO) were used in the study. Descriptive analysis, variance analysis, and correlation analysis were used for statistical processing of the results. The sample is randomly randomized and consists of 230 people, which ensures its representativeness. Of them, 130 are girls and 100 are boys. The results of the study showed that elementary school students have high levels of both personal and collective reflection, as well as high levels of group cohesion. There were no statistically significant gender differences in scores on collective reflection and group identity. The findings of this study provide the basis for creating effective tools for the development of primary school students’ collectives, which will allow directing collective activity towards targeted educational and training goals. In the future, it is worth studying the dynamics of the development of collective reflection, which affects group identity, in critical periods of school education: primary school, secondary school, and senior school.

There have been many studies about the effectiveness of differentiated instruction in promoting student-centered learning. However, most of these studies have focused on primary and secondary education. There is hardly any research about its application and effectiveness in higher education settings. Furthermore, there is a need to identify the factors that influence information technology or information technology (IT) students’ motivation, engagement and attitude towards learning to use appropriate instructional strategies. The current research addresses this gap in the literature by investigating the perspectives of university IT students on differentiated instruction and its impact on their learning attitude. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining survey questionnaires and semi-structured interviews to examine the effectiveness of various instructional strategies, including scaffolded instruction, peer-assisted learning, collaborative learning, and competitive learning, across different IT courses. The results showed that students had a positive attitude toward differentiated instruction. Respondents reported that the tailored teaching methods helped them better engage with the course material and develop more effective learning strategies. Many students stated that the differentiated approach allowed them to capitalize on their strengths and address their weaknesses in a supportive environment. The findings have implications for educators seeking to promote student-centered learning and improve learning outcomes in IT courses.

This research employs the spherical fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (SFAHP) to prioritize key factors shaping the higher education quality in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam within the context of increasing digitalization. Through a structured hierarchy encompassing criteria such as accessibility of digital resources, adaptability and innovation, pedagogical integration, student engagement, and technological infrastructure, a novel decision-making approach was applied in this study to evaluate the relative importance of these facets, using in-depth expert interviews. The findings underscore pedagogical integration and student engagement as pivotal, indicating the essential role of innovative teaching methodologies integrated with technology. Additionally, accessibility of digital resources emerges as critical, emphasizing the imperative of equitable access to technological tools for diverse student demographics. Lower-ranked criteria such as adaptability and innovation and technological infrastructure, though deemed less critical, are foundational for fostering an agile, innovative, and technology-empowered educational ecosystem. The implications drawn from these findings provide a strategic direction for policymakers and educational stakeholders, aiming to enhance the quality, accessibility, and relevance of higher education in Vietnam’s dynamic digital landscape. This framework could be expanded to different educational contexts to effectively integrate technology in learning environments.

The study examines the impact of lens exploration and navigation stations (LENS) activity on students’ academic performance in bio-inspired optics, focusing on the gain score, to provide empirical evidence on its effectiveness in fostering deeper comprehension and engagement. The design of the study is quantitative research and uses a pretest-posttest control group in a quasi-experimental approach. The design makes it possible to compare the LENS activity’s efficacy with the traditional method of teaching by comparing the students’ pre- and post-test scores. The researcher chooses one class comprising 56 students from academic track, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) strand where random assignment was used to determine the treatment group and control group (N=28). The study utilizes dependent sample comparing pretest and posttest scores, and independent sample comparing posttest mean scores between experimental and control groups. The study found that there is a significant difference in post-test scores between the experimental group using LENS activity and the control group using traditional teaching methods. The study indicates that LENS activity significantly increased students’ academic performance in understanding bio-inspired optics, demonstrating its effectiveness in enhancing learning outcomes and deeper understanding of the subject. This highlights the importance of activity-based learning (ABL) in enhancing learning outcomes.

Quality assurance is a significant part of achieving sustainable development goal 4 and has remained a challenge to higher education institutions (HEIs) worldwide. Thus, this paper aims to propose a quality assurance framework for hybrid-flexible (HyFlex learning) learning based on the perspectives of faculty and students. This study utilized a descriptive developmental mixed-method research design to dissect the richness and beauty of the data collected using the self-developed survey questionnaire and interview protocol guide. The findings revealed that both students and faculty preferred the utilization of flexible learning as their learning modality. Also, a significant difference when grouped according to UNESCO’s quality and learning indicators is also observed in the study. Accessibility and usability, learning assessment strategies, vision and institutional leadership, learning activities and learning interaction, instructional materials, social and student engagement, stakeholders’ support, course structure, learning outcomes and competencies, evaluation and feedback, social and student engagement, flexibility and adaptability of education, security and safety, and infrastructure, facilities, and equipment were the emergent themes which were utilized to craft the quality assurance framework. The proposed framework provides a transparent and reliable workflow for implementing, monitoring, and evaluating quality assurance of all HyFlex learning modalities in the university.

Learning loss can be characterized by several things such as a lack of student interest in learning where students are not focused and easily lazy in learning. This learning loss will get worse if the material presented in the lesson is abstract in nature and cannot be seen in real terms by students. With the use of a hologram projector, this study intends to evaluate the efficacy of interactive learning media in the form of hologram-based learning modules. In this case, quasi-experimental research methodology through nonequivalent control group design was employed in this study. The sampling technique is purposive sampling. The two sample classes used are class VI A (control) VI B (experimental). The results of the independent t-test on sig. (2-tailed) of 0.0010.05 indicate a significant difference between the results of the control class and the experimental class. The effectiveness of the N-Gain pretest and posttest of student learning outcomes in the control class were 0.25 in the low category and 0.57 in the experimental class in the medium category. Therefore, the study findings indicate that hologram-based module, aided by a holographic projector, was deemed to be useful for use in the learning process. The conclusion of this study is that it is expected that teachers and educators will be able to employ engaging and tangible learning materials and be supported by technology, with the usage of holograms being one of the choices.

Studying subjects in school had a relationship with students’ future career choices. However, science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields (STEM) careers are often considered to be less accessible by many children. The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors influencing the STEM career-oriented subjects’ choice of Vietnamese high school students. The survey was conducted with 1768 students in grade 10th (at the age of 16) in several high schools in 4 provinces represented for different geography regions of Vietnam by questionnaire combined with direct investigation using contact and interview methods with students. The results indicated that gender and students’ academic achievement in science studies were measured as factors to consistently and positively associate with students’ subjects choice toward STEM career orientation, accounting for other factors. The implications of this study in education are that teachers and educators should organize learning and teaching activities appropriate to male and female students in order to improve their academic achievement and their self-efficacy in science subjects. Hence, these supporting measures may foster students’ selection of STEM-related subjects to study and enhance students’ aspirations towards STEM careers.
