Analytical Evaluation of Learning Experiences on Problem-Solving Efficacy of Vietnamese College Students - Innovative Management in Information and Production - page 74

provided in this study helps administrators, faculty, and scientists at VNU-HCM
that they should pay special attention to enhancing their students' problem-solving
efficacy. VNU-HCM should evaluate their academic learning by the effect on
improving students' problem-solving efficacy. This will help administrators, faculty,
and scientists at VNU-HCM to monitor and adjust the strengths and weaknesses of
the academic learning to meet the needs of the country. In the process of constructing
an instructional program, administrators and scientists in the universities should
design better institutional policies and select advanced academic learning to not
only provide background knowledge but also develop students' efficacy for future
jobs.
Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge my sincere gratitude to the reviewers for
anonymous, kindest support and help, valuable advice, synthesized comments on revision, and
