11. Summary of the new findings of the thesis:
The result of the thesis is of scientific significance and practical application in the current context of Vietnamese universities moving towards a credit-based system.
For CS evaluation, the thesis has developed a set of seven criteria with 46 indicators and course manuals:1) Relevance (9 indicators);2) Sequence (7 indicators); 3) Integration (4 indicators); 4) Balance (8 indicators); 5) Coherence (5 indicators); 6) Currence (6 indicators), and 7) Effectiveness (7 indicators). The thesis proposes and analyses the procedures for CS evaluation and assigns responsibilities for managing this process. Simultaneously, surveys are conducted on the procedures for CS evaluation among faculty members, administrators and students in a number of universities in Vietnam.
12. Practical applicability
CS management in higher education should be under strict and comprehensive implementation at every stage: Design – Implementation – Evaluation. Therefore, further research will focus on the management of CS implementation (course teaching) in a credit-based system. This is crucial to ensuring the high quality of a course and school training as well.
