Managing the Assessment of Learning Outcomes for Graduate Students in the Agriculture, Fisheries, and Environment Fields at Can Tho University, Vietnam

This research investigates the management of learning outcome evaluation activities for postgraduate students in the Agriculture – Fisheries – Environment Fields at Can Tho University, Vietnam. Conducted with 33 management staff and lecturers and 105 postgraduate students, the study addresses the urgent need to enhance high-quality human resources in the context of globalization and a knowledge-based economy. It systematically reviews theoretical foundations and evaluates current practices through surveys and data analysis, revealing a significant perception gap between management, lecturers, and students regarding the fairness and effectiveness of online assessments. Additionally, management staff rated their capacity to implement modern evaluation methods as low, indicating a need for mindset change and professional development. In response, the research proposes comprehensive management measures, including raising awareness among staff, improving planning, innovating organizational approaches, strengthening supervision, and enhancing quality assurance conditions. Recommendations are made for the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training, Can Tho University, faculties, lecturers, and postgraduate students to improve evaluation quality and better align learning outcomes with labor market demands. Limitations include the study’s focus on select faculties and evaluation management, suggesting further research is needed to broaden applicability. Article visualizations:
