Principal of Vinh University: Students' scientific research still has many limitations

(Baonghean.vn) - The Principal of Vinh University believes that many students, although talented, are afraid of difficulties and are not passionate about or willing to spend time on scientific research.

On the morning of December 24, Vinh University summarized the work of student scientific research at the school level in the 2016 - 2017 school year.

Speaking at the conference, Prof. Dr. Dinh Xuan Khoa - Rector of Vinh University said that promoting scientific research among students is an important task to improve the quality of the school. At Vinh University, scientific research activities always receive attention and proper investment.

During the 2016-2017 school year, Vinh University students have carried out many high-quality scientific research projects and graduation projects. Specifically, the whole school has 43 scientific research projects implemented by students at the school level. In 2016, 3 projects were awarded at the Ministry level, such as: building an integrated experimental set for teaching wave optics; the current status of compliance with road traffic laws, etc.

However, according to Principal Dinh Xuan Khoa, many students today have good academic performance but are not really proactive in approaching scientific research activities. Many students, although having the qualities and abilities, are afraid of difficulties, are not passionate, and do not spend time on research, so the quality of the topics is not high.

To promote this activity in the coming time, Vinh University has set out many tasks to be implemented such as: faculties and departments must pay more attention to scientific research activities of students; continue to organize scientific research forms among students in both breadth and depth; develop specific content and plans and assign tasks to staff and lecturers in discovering and nurturing students...
