How to choose interesting and practical scientific research topics? To have good results, knowledge, and skills? What's the secret to cultivating more seasoned research?...
There are many open questions
that most CITErs are struggling to find answers to. To improve the scientific
research capacity of the students, the Faculty of Finance and Banking lecturer
team organized an extremely interesting series of Seminars for you to
"learn by doing", to conquer the academic "land" of UEB.
The series of seminars
revolve around the content of improving scientific research capacity for
International Associate students (UEB - CITE), to supplement basic knowledge
and skills about quantitative models commonly used in research. From there,
students can choose quantitative research methods and analyze appropriate
research models, best supporting them in making scientific research reports and
international publications.

Scientific research with practical and attractive content
To have a roadmap to help
students master the knowledge and skills, the group of lecturers who led the
supplementary course built 10 different topics, fostering more professional
knowledge and important skills. in scientific research.
The 1st topic introduces the
common data types used in scientific research and the STATA interface. The 2nd
and 3rd topics introduce the OLS regression model and ways to incorporate
non-linearities in the regression model. 4th topic 4 applies regression models
to panel data, while topic number 5 introduces regression models with special
dependent variables (logit, probit, ordered logit, order probit, multinomial
logistic). The remaining topics introduce models with time-series data. With
these attractive and practical topics, the seminar series attracted UEB - CITE
students and students of the Faculty of Finance - Banking to participate.
Main topics in the Seminar
series set to improve scientific research capacity for UEB - CITE students,
which benefits students receive after participating in this supplementary
course to improve scientific research capacity, Dr. Luu Ngoc Hiep - Lecturer in
the Faculty of Finance - Banking said: "Students who complete the course
will have certain experience in handling quantitative models, which we intend
to equip gives you knowledge about some advanced quantitative models, aimed at
increasing the quality of scientific papers. In addition, the teaching team
also hopes to support international students more in writing and editing
scientific research articles for international publication ISI/SCOPUS.”
“Learning by
doing” - How did experiential learning help CITErs on their scientific research
journey?
How to inspire students with
quantitative research methods, helping them make the best use of their
research? This is the question that the faculty group is most concerned about
when designing and implementing this series of lectures. The main aim of the
course is to acquaint students with quantitative methods commonly encountered
in empirical research, thereby conveying the message that econometrics is not
to be feared but is an extremely powerful tool. useful in understanding
economic problems.
Therefore, choosing a new and
creative teaching method: "Learning by doing" not only helps students
to quickly acquire knowledge and be flexible in practical application but also
contributes to the development of students. ignite the passion for scientific
research in every student.
“I decided not to go with the
traditional approach in statistics/econometrics textbooks, but to reduce the
number of mathematical equations as much as possible and try to use
economic/financial examples. in fact. Specifically, each research method is
approached under more practical aspects: what it is, when to use it, the
prerequisites for its use, and the meaning of the results. Besides, I also
share my own experience about the steps and notes when applying each method.” -
shared by Dr. Le Hong Thai, Lecturer of the Faculty of Finance - Banking
participated in the teaching.
In addition, this is a highly
practical course, every lesson is associated with solving/handling an economic
model through steps in the quantitative software STATA, helping students to
record memorize and can be applied directly most effectively.
“I believe that the best
learning method is 'learning by doing, when the students see the usefulness and
application of these quantitative research methods, they will be motivated to
learn on their own, learn more other methods that I have not had the
opportunity to discuss in this series of lectures” - Dr. Le Hong Thai said.
Slides of lectures are
presented succinctly by the lecturersPractical examples of analysis for
students to acquire knowledge effectively
“When participating in this
series of seminars, the most important goal that I want to achieve is to
improve my knowledge in the field of scientific research. When I read documents
on scientific research myself, I feel that I cannot understand the methods and
explanations of the author, why does the author do this? Why do they use words
like that?... - a series of questions that have not been answered, but after
listening to Dr. Thai and Dr. Hiep about the main and core econometric methods,
I have "broken" more ideas, so I can realize what method the author
is using, what model, how to get evidence and how meaningful the author's
evidence is to prove. for their Research.” - Nguyen Ngoc Tram, UEB - Troy’s
student K18A expressed.
She also commented:
"Dr.Thai's teaching method is really "genuine", about slides, he
breaks it down into ideas and is accompanied by many vivid and
easy-to-understand examples for students. In particular, I like the teacher's
examples, which are easy to visualize, close, and easy to understand,
associated with the practice. Thereby, the students understand the lesson
better and remember the knowledge better. Besides, discussion and
question-answering activities make the class lively, with many good ideas and
questions, making the atmosphere more joyful and exciting."
The students actively
participate, interact with the faculty actively, making the atmosphere of the
class always full of energy.
Not only Ngoc Tram, Tuan Dung
- K18B UEB student - Troy also shared: "At first, when I attended the
course to supplement my knowledge and improve scientific research capacity for
students, I was a bit worried. , because that knowledge is quite "hard to
swallow" for us students. But in the process of participating, the
teachers are extremely enthusiastic, always caring and teaching from small
knowledge, constantly creating an exciting and fun atmosphere that makes each
student no longer feel heavy pressure knowledge.”
It can be seen that the
serious attitude and inquisitive spirit of the students participating in the
course are very high, there are days when teachers and students forget to leave
class to share and discuss more deeply emerging issues. born in practice. A
small revelation is that after Tet, a friend shared with the group of lecturers
that: "I took advantage of the Tet holiday to study and re-record some
lessons." Seeing their students so interested in self-study, the teaching
team feels extremely delighted.
Raising UEB-CITErs’
dream to soar high in the sky of science
The VNU University of Economics and Business - which has nurtured and ignited the love of scientific research, practical
application, and work for many generations, is still being continued and
promoted to raise students. confidently rise, conquer scientific knowledge.
“I want to cultivate and
learn more about scientific research and turn that knowledge into a complete
research paper that my research team is hard at work. After that, my higher
goal is to want to participate in presenting research results on forums such as
the University's Student Scientific Research Conference, scientific forums for
domestic students. and internationally” - Ngoc Tram - a passionate student of
Scientific Research said.
With enthusiasm, passion, and
responsibility, UEB's lecturers are constantly making efforts, trying to bring
more and more seminars, workshops, supplementary courses, and further training
for students on the challenging journey of learning with practice. The series
of seminars is only halfway through, but with the companionship and support of
the teachers, along with the students' spirit of curiosity, eagerness to learn,
and high determination, promises to bring great results, worthy of the future.
