Authors: Hao Cao Thi , Bich Nguyen Thi , Hai Anh Nguyen Thi 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
The great achievements made in every field so far have given educators many challenges. In Vietnam, following the guidelines of fundamental and comprehensive education reform, the development of “open education” program is an urgent requirement contributing to the successful implementation of the education reform. The program will provide access to education for all people in need, regardless of age, education level, occupation, social status, gender, and can be implemented at all times and places. In the 4.0 era, the role of IT universities has been well defined. In order to maximize their role, they need to develop an open program. To establish and develop an open education program for Universities of Information Technology, the article proposes a process of eight steps. Step 1: analyzing context and assessing education needs (international context, national, and university context). Step 2: identifying six criteria and four objectives (knowledge, skills, ethics, capability) when developing open programs. Targets must be specific, detailed, easy to review and evaluate. Step 3: reviewing the current program, and designing new program contents. Step 4: selecting the form of training organization. Step 5: organizing examinations and accreditation of education quality, ensuring accuracy, objectivity, seriousness and flexibility in accordance with the training methods, subjects and contents. Step 6: verifying the training programs. Step 7: implementing the program (including two steps: Pilot implementation, evaluation and adjustment; mass implementation applied throughout the university). Step 8: evaluating the program (after implementation, the university collects, analyzes, and processes data to determine the value of the program). With the above process, the open education program will enhance the quality of education, in line with the trend of higher education in the world today. By attaching training goals to real life, to the development of learners’ capacity, IT universities will affirm their “brand”, their advanced and active role in the digital era, and the globalization of education today.

AbstractThis study aimed at developing contextualized lesson plans integrating writing in mathematics using the pupil’s mother tongue. It also aimed at determining pupil’s improvement in the writing math activities for a period of one month. A Grade 3 class with 31 pupils was purposively selected because of its heterogeneous composition. Using a comparative-descriptive design, this study utilized both quantitative and qualitative data from pupils’ weekly writing outputs, pretest, posttest and transcripts of classroom observations and interviews. Five lesson plans were developed using the backward curriculum design based on the K to 12 curriculum standard. The data revealed that the pupils made significant improvement in their writing math performance irrespective of ability group. However, the high-performing pupils made significant learning gains compared to the developing pupils. In-depth analysis of outputs showed improvements in pupils’ writing mathematics skills. Most pupils organized their ideas even after the question prompts have been removed on the last week of implementation. This study claimed that the use of scaffolding, contextualization, and mother tongue helped pupils in their writing and improved mathematical reasoning.
