Distinguished Teacher Le Cong Co
Since its inception, DTU has been determined to enhance the quality of education to provide the community with the best-qualified graduates and has introduced two new advanced international teaching methods in certain fields of study. In 2012, the university became the second Vietnamese CDIO member, following the Vietnam National University in Ho Chi Minh City. The CDIO (Conceive - Design - Implement - Operate) model is used in teaching Technology & Engineering. In 2013, DTU adopted PBL (Problem-Based Learning/Project-Based Learning) for teaching Economics Management, Health Sciences and Humanities & Social Sciences, to assist students to learn more and acquire better skills and professional experience.

Participants discussed the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods. Interesting presentations were made on “The Teaching and Benefits of PBL 369 - Reality & Solutions” and “The Application of PBL in Teaching the Advanced PSU Finance and Banking Program”, stressing their effectiveness, student adaptability and satisfaction, and reviewing ongoing projects.
Reports were also presented on “Innovative Approaches in Enhancing Relationships with Business”, “Improving Teaching Quality Based on the E-learning Sakai Method” and “Difficulties Encountered in Teaching Tourism Bilingually”.
Distinguished Teacher Le Cong Co, DTU President and Provost, said: “Developing innovative educational models, we must first identify what we need to change, the study method, training content or the teachers, who must be qualified, enthusiastic and inspirational. Teachers must motivators who study and research with students to prepare them to make significant contributions to community development.”
