The trend of using smart teaching devices in education in Vietnam
Abstract
This study examines the growing integration of intelligent educational tools within the educational framework of Vietnam, underscoring the nation's swift shift towards a technology-centered learning environment. With 72.1 million internet users in Vietnam, marked by a 98.1% adoption rate of smartphones, 58.8% usage of laptops, and 35.5% ownership of tablets, these sophisticated devices have assumed a central role in the field of education. Notably, there exist governmental initiatives aimed at reinforcing the legal infrastructure, serving as a testament to Vietnam's dedication to advancing education through technological means. Smart educational devices have brought about a transformation in teaching techniques, rendering lessons more captivating, efficient, and accessible. The authors conducted a survey among a randomly selected group of 255 participants, revealing that the entire cohort utilizes smart devices for educational or work-related purposes. Nonetheless, certain students tend to employ smartphones for entertainment, which has raised inquiries regarding their scholastic impact. The paper explores the role of laptops, accentuating their revolutionary contribution to education and the necessity for further investigation to gain deeper insights into their effects. Furthermore, it investigates the obstacles encountered, encompassing technology-related distractions in educational contexts and disparities in technology access. Ultimately, this research underscores the significance of addressing these impediments to fully exploit the potential of intelligent educational devices in Vietnam's educational landscape, with the added benefit of drawing comparisons with global trends to glean valuable insights for further enhancing the educational domain.
