The 2018 General Education Curriculum of Vietnam adopts competency-based principles for fully implementing the 2025 High School Graduation Exam, which demands alternative assessment methods. The study investigates how to resolve standardized problems in Physics exam questions connected to competency learning standards by analyzing the “Electric currents and Circuits” topic. The research conducted design-based research (DBR) to develop and test a system of diverse objective questions, including multiple-choice, true/false, and short-answer questions for 175 Grade 11 students at Hai Ba Trung High School in Hue City during the 2024–2025 academic year. The assessment system consists of 93 items that measure competency from basic recall to analysis with an average of 0.55 difficulty and 0.45 discrimination value. Evaluation data confirmed the alignment between this assessment tool and 2025 exam directives. However, examination results revealed that test questions covered only one specific content area, while the varying performance of short-answer questions points toward future improvement needs. The study presents an assessment instrument that physics educators can utilize for evaluation assessment enhancement to support educational reform in Vietnam and serve future scientific education progression.

This research looks at the influence of including a digital Multiple-Choice Question (MCQ) exercise system as a formative assessment tool in Grade 11 physics instruction. The goals are to evaluate the system's efficiency and investigate its implications for formative assessment techniques. Using stratified random selection, 110 Grade 11 physics students are chosen as participants in a novel case study approach. The solution consists of incorporating a digital MCQ exercise system into formative assessment methods. Data gathering includes pre- and post-assessment exams, questionnaires, and interviews to comprehensively understand the impact of the intervention. The success of the digital tool is assessed using rigorous quantitative and qualitative evaluations. Quantitative data show a statistically significant improvement in student performance, while qualitative findings show improved engagement, perceived learning benefits, and positive behavioral changes among students. The discussion contextualizes these findings within the larger framework of formative assessment in Grade 11 physics, comparing them to earlier research to validate their uniqueness. Finally, our research presents empirical data to justify using a digital MCQ practice system in Grade 11 physics instruction. The findings highlight the potential for revolutionary educational practices, which are consistent with the larger aims of educational digital transformation. Recognizing its limitations, the study offers future research topics, such as multi-site studies and long-term evaluations, to deepen our understanding of this exciting formative assessment technique.

Online videos have emerged as a highly effective tool, empowering these learners to make substantial strides in mastering the critical aspects of English speaking proficiency.

The application of Google Classroom in EFL classes is no longer a strange phenomenon amongst educators, especially in Vietnamese context. It is easily known as a combination of the face to face classroom and the high-tech E-Learning with the virtual platform in which students do some extra learnings outside class under the teacher’s supervision. To the best of our knowledge, while blended learning with Google Classroom application classrooms are commonly generated all over the world, very few researches have been conducted to uncover the effect of  Google Classroom application on teaching speaking skill at Universities in Viet Nam, or at Phu Yen University to be exact. For this reason, this research aims to discover students’ perceptions towards the use of Google Classroom application as a learning tool for further English speaking practice off the classes. Further more, this research also investigates students’ academic performances based on the increase in the frequency of students’ practice on Google classroom platform compared to solely traditional face-to-face classes. The research was conducted rigorously using both quantitative and qualitative methods. The data in this study were collected from fourty eight students in 2 separated classes, traditional face-to-face class and Google classroom application-integrated class at Phu Yen University. Results from students’ academic performances revealed that Google Classroom could enhance students’ speaking skill as well as boost their engagement in speaking practice.
