Many researchers believe that using technology to improve educational quality is one of the things that should and must be done (Mustapha et al., 2020). However, it should be emphasised that in order to optimise the function of the application of new technical features, it is required to increase users’ technological skills. In other terms, its users’ ability. One of the factors influencing the success of teaching and learning methodologies is the human factor. Before putting a new technology into a specific educational setting, a standard scale for recognising and evaluating the user factor is also required (Mardiana, 2020). The purpose of this study is to investigate the flexibility and readiness of teachers in various countries to incorporate technology into universitylevel teaching contexts, with the goal of drawing experience and lessons from research in order to evaluate university lecturers’ and Vietnamese teachers at all levels’ abilities to incorporate technology into the classroom.

In underdeveloped countries such as Colombia, less than 6% of the population with disabilities have access to higher education, which is why educational strategies are required for this population. According to the International Labour Organization, an average of 7600 people die every day because of work accidents or occupational diseases. In this sense, INKLUDO arises, a project that seeks to develop a series of immersive and inclusive tools supported by virtual reality and multi-touch screen technology to improve the learning processes of Health and Safety at Work. For this purpose, an analysis of the environment on inclusive educational needs was carried out, from which the conceptual architecture of the technological tools will be built. After that, a functional prototype of each of these tools will be developed and validated. The execution of this project is intended to contribute to inclusive education to the extent that the needs of students with hearing and/or motor disabilities are met by developing an innovative classroom strategy for learning a cross-cutting theme in any training area.

Digital transformation has become an inevitable trend in Vietnam and worldwide. Digital society is one of the three pillars of a digital nation, in which digital citizens are the core of a digital society. The requirements of digital citizenship pose a new problem for education and training: how to form and foster digital literacy for learners while they are still in school to study, research and develop a career in the digital world and master the country’s digital transformation. In this article, we find answers to the following questions (1) Is it possible to simultaneously develop digital literacy and subject-specific domain competency for learners during high school? (2) Can information technology be a foundation, tool, and objective to develop learners’ competence? (3) How should blended learning be organized in the current Vietnamese context? The study also conducted experiments to adjust and explore a blended teaching model to develop digital and domain-specific competencies of Vietnamese students in the current digital transformation context.

English-medium instruction (EMI) has been considered a key strategy in internationalizing the education system in many countries. Its popularity has brought both benefits and drawbacks to the learners. This study was aimed at investigating the positive and negative effects of EMI programs at a university in North Central Vietnam from students’ perspectives. The study involved 137 participants, who were studying in an English as medium instruction program in a university in Vietnam. An explanatory mixed-methods approach was used in data collection through a questionnaire and follow-up interviews. From the data analysis, it was found that EMI courses benefited their learners in terms of job opportunities, English language proficiency, and social skills. However, the results also indicated that EMI students faced many difficulties relating to teaching and learning methodology and psychological issues during their learning process. Different pedagogical implications are put forward to improve the quality of EMI programs in the Vietnamese context.

The Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students (ASSIST) is an important instrument to measure students’ approaches to learning. However, the construct validity of the measurement used is not always sufficiently evaluated. The aim of this study was to examine the construct validity of ASSIST with 1155 Senior One students studying in 17 Malaysian Independent Chinese Secondary Schools (MICSS). The Rasch model was employed, focusing on local independence, dimensionality and measurement invariance analyses. The results confirmed the three-factor structure of ASSIST and supported the unidimensionality of the three scales. There was also no evidence of a violation of the principle of local independence for all pairs of item residuals and negligible evidence of differential item functioning (DIF) on gender and course. These results indicate that ASSIST has good construct validity and can be used as a tool for measuring students’ approaches to learning. Using the Rasch model, measures are of an interval scale, and empirical evidence about the item clusters, dimensionality and measurement invariance can be determined. Additionally, issues pertaining to dimensionality, item dependency and non-equivalency across subgroups can be detected at an early stage of the instrument development to be addressed properly in the subsequent instrument administration.

Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, online education has emerged as a popular teaching method, supported by advancements in technology and communication. The development of computer technology and the widespread availability of internet connections have facilitated the transition from traditional classrooms to online platforms. However, both educational institutions and learners have encountered numerous challenges in the process of online education. Schools struggle to determine suitable technological setups, and collaboration among administrators, teachers, and students has proven ineffective. Therefore, it is crucial to conduct research to identify an appropriate model for educational institutions. This study involves the participation of 12 instructors and 360 students from a university of pedagogy in Hanoi, with the objective of proposing a suitable online teaching tool and defining the roles of the participants. The research results suggest a model of an online learning space that utilizes Google Workspace tools, enabling the learning and working community to engage in online activities within a large, centrally managed environment. This teaching model offers easier access, a user-friendly experience, effectiveness, and simplicity in management and instruction for online education.

Objective measurement of students’ reasoning competencies in science contexts is relevant in promoting educational reforms in science education. Over the years, progression-based assessments have been prompted by applying Rasch analysis in developing research instruments. Towards contributing to this reform, this study describes the development and validation of the Chemical Identity Thinking Instrument, which is anchored on a hypothesized progression of chemical identity thinking among premedical students. Item content validity indices were determined to inform item restructuring and revision. The research instrument was administered to 362 first-year to third-year pre-medical students from five higher education institutions in the Philippines. A scoring rubric was utilized to evaluate the accuracy of answers, the accuracy of explanations, and the type of explanations of students. Based on these parameters, the level of chemical identity thinking of the students was determined. By applying the Rasch rating scale model, evidence of reliability and construct validity was obtained. The applications of the instrument and the scoring rubric were discussed in the context of assessment and evaluation in pre-medical programs. The interpretation of changes in student abilities along the hypothesized levels of chemical identity thinking in all items was also described.
