1 INTRODUCTION The reason for choosing the topic “Make a fundamental and dramatic transformation in the quality and effectiveness of education to serve the manufacture, protection of the country, and the demand for the study of the people Education for Vietnamese to develop their potential and creativity”, one of the criteria of education and training innovation, is determined in Resolution No 29-NQ/TW of November 04, 2013, on “fundamental and comprehensive innovation in education, serving industrialization and modernization in a socialist-oriented market economy during international integration” ratified in the 8th session As part of the mission to train highly qualified human resources for the society, to integrate “superb expertise, scientific research competencies, professional expertise” with good working capacity and adaptability to the working environment in the context of innovation, it is crucial that universities build the best educational environment so that students can discover knowledge, carry out research and transfer technology Institutions should also focus on training, equipping specialized knowledge, and training professionals Along with the goal of training, equipping specialized knowledge, and training professional capacity, it is very important to promote scientific research activities for students during the training process because scientific research activities will support learning activities, knowledge discovery, and personal development of learners For these reasons, scientific research activities in Vietnam, especially at universities, are focused and encouraged for development However, the fact exposes that in terms of management, the management of university students' scientific research activities lacks a clear and unambiguous autonomy and decentralization technique It has not yet evolved a distinct array in scientific research in general and student research Management professionals in educational management units are still bewildered In addition, collaboration in the management of student activities and scientific research is ongoing Forms, techniques, and contents of research are still slow to adapt, aren't imaginative, and haven't evolved into a "research and entrepreneurship incubator." Furthermore, the management of student scientific research activities still lacks a purposeful, spontaneous nature, and the management approach is outdated, with the activity's goal being to enhance the ability for practice and practical application Based on the foregoing analysis, we select the topic " Management of student research activities in higher education in the context of educational innovation" as the topic of my Ph.D dissertation in Educational Management Purpose of the study By analyzing the theoretical basis and the practical management of student scientific research (SCRT) activity in higher educational institutions in Ha Noi city, this study aims to purpose solutions to manage student research activities in higher education and therefore contribute towards improving the quality of education in higher education to meet the current educational innovation requirements Object and subject of the study 3.1 Object of the study: Student scientific research (SCRT) activity in higher education in educational innovation 3.2 Subject of the study: Management of student scientific research activity in higher education in educational innovation Scientific hypothesis Scientific research is one of the key activities for students associated with the learning and training process at universities Especially in the current educational reform context, students need to have the competencies to scientific research actively and creatively Students need to apply their research results to practice However, scientific research activities at colleges have not attracted many students to participate The content of research problems has not been innovated These problems lead to poor quality research results and poor application of research findings The management has not yet demonstrated coordination or direction in developing organizational mechanisms, policies, and procedures In addition, there are no specific decentralization regulations for stakeholders in Universities As per the research methodology, the research approach of this dissertation will present solutions to manage scientific research activities for university students These solutions will improve the quality of scientific research activities of students in particular, and improve the quality of training in general in the context of education innovation Tasks of the study 5.1 Building a

students, and some proposed directions for the development of scientific research activities are shown in the domestic and foreign literature 1.1.3.2 Issues that need further research in this dissertation In order to meet the requirements of students' management of scientific research activities, it is necessary to strengthen management This is accomplished by fostering the capacity, positivity, initiative, and creativity of students for scientific research The management of students' scientific research capacity needs to be enhanced Managing students' scientific research activities in accordance with best practices to improve the quality of student research This contributes to improving the quality of training to meet the current educational innovation needs 1.2 The basic concepts of the thesis 1.2.1 Management Management is the continuous, organized, and oriented influence of the management subject (manager) on the managed object (manager) by the use of management means to make the organization operate to achieve management goals 1.2.2 Scientific Research Scientific research is a systematic way of gathering data and harnessing curiosity This research provides scientific information and theories for the explanation of nature and the properties of the world It makes practical applications possible 1.2.3 Scientific research by students Scientific research by students is a form of teaching organization of the school that involves students applying their combined knowledge and scientific research methodology to solve realworld practical problems 1.2.4 Management of students' scientific research activities Management of students' scientific research activities is the way of the purposeful and planned influence of the management subject on the process of planning, organizing, and controlling the implementation of tasks, evaluating, and applying the results of scientific research of students, to get implement the set training goals 1.3

disadvantages of students participating in scientific research 1.5 Management of scientific research activities of students at universities in the context of educational innovation 1.5.1 Decentralization in the management of scientific research activities of students at universities Decentralization in the management of scientific research activities of students at universities Includes specific units and functions: Department of Science - Technology (under the Ministry of Education and Training); Rector of the University/Director of the Academy; Scientific management department (functional department in charge of scientific research; Faculty/Department; Instructor/Scientific instructor 1.5.2 Managing activities to improve students' scientific research competencies 1.5.3 Manage the process of organizing and implementing scientific research activities for students 1.5.4 Manage acceptance activities, evaluate scientific research results of students 1.5.5 Managing the publishing, publication, and application of students' scientific research works into practice 1.5.6 Managing resources for students' scientific research activities 1.5.7 Management of students'

mentioned as following: Factors of learning competencies - scientific research of students; the factors of teaching competence - Scientific research of lecturers; environmental factors in the management of scientific research activities of students; factors belonging to the university, family and socioeconomic development Conclusion Chapter Scientific research is one of the two main tasks of the university This is to improve the quality of teaching and learning, contribute to solving practical problems, and promote the progress of science and technology For students, scientific research is a form of a compulsory teaching organization In this setting, students are expected to apply the knowledge they have learned to conduct cognitive activities of a research nature They contribute to solving problems and solve practical professional problems Scientific research is always regarded as one of the most significant activities of students at higher education institutions However, this activity has not drawn large numbers of students and has not spread far and wide University students’ scientific research activities are not yet managed in a specific and clear manner It has not yet developed a specific array in scientific research and in the scientific research of students, exclusively at universities The next problem is the lack of a strategic and spontaneous approach to the management of students' scientific research activities In the context of educational transformation, the management process is too old In addition, the purpose of students' scientific research activities is to increase their practical skills and use them in research and learning However, not enough attention has been paid to training output standards or social needs On the basis of an overview of the research problem, analysis of some concepts related to the research topic, and identification of the basic and modern theoretical basis for the scientific research activities of students in the context of educational innovation The author has applied the theoretical bases presented in chapter to survey the current situation of management of scientific research activities of students 7 CHAPTER PRACTICAL BASIC FOR MANAGING STUDENT SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH ACTIVITIES IN UNIVERSITIES AT HA NOI CITY IN THE CONTEXT OF EDUCATIONAL INNOVATION 2.1 Overview of universities in Hanoi city 2.2 Overview of universities within the research scope of this dissertation 2.3 Introducing the situation survey organization 2.3.1 The purpose of the survey The purpose of the survey is to assess the current status of activities and management of university students' scientific research activities It also aims to evaluate the impact level of factors affecting the development of that activity 2.3.2 Survey content Surveying and analyzing the current status of scientific research activities of university students in Hanoi city This will enable us to identify strengths, weaknesses, and causes, and correctly identify problems that need to be solved to improve quality The amount of scientific research on students in the context of educational innovation 2.3.3 Subjects and scope of the survey The thesis surveyed 700 subjects from universities in the Vietnamese capital They include 50 managers; 150 lecturers and 500 students (years 2, 3, and 4) 2.3.4 Survey organization process Developing questionnaires for university administrators, faculty members, departments, and students, consulting lecturers, then completing and sending the surveys; integrating and processing survey information; analyzing and evaluating the results 2.3.5 Survey method 2.3.6 Rating scale and data processing methods 2.4 Current status of scientific research activities of university students in Hanoi city 2.4.1 Scientific research topics The results of the number of topics tend to increase over the years and are rated as Good, Fair, and Average Data for this dissertation has been collected from activity products based on universities' evaluations of scientific research topics each year from 2014 to 2019 The results show that there is a difference between the number and results of topic classification between schools and years 2.4.2 Activities of students participating in and writing reports at scientific research conferences/conferences 2.4.2.1 Participating in student's scientific research conferences/workshops The organization of scientific research conferences students need to better in spreading the scientific research movement among students in a positive direction, regularly promoting change in perception Scientific research knowledge and actions of students 2.4.2.2 Actual situation of participating in writing scientific articles Students knew how to write abstracts into reports at conferences and scientific seminars They published reports in Conference Proceedings, and some of their research articles were published in Science Although there are scientific journals published by the university, the number of publications is very small Students have a hard time converting discussions, essays, and large assignments into research articles This comes from many reasons and needs to be rectified immediately 2.4.3 Students' thoughts and attitudes when participating in scientific research Table 2.7: Thoughts and attitudes of students when participating in scientific research Amount % Criteria level Like so much 75 15 Like (prefer) 221 44,2 Normal 152 30.4 Criteria level Dislike Total Amount 52 500 % 10,4 100 The survey results indicate that a large percentage of students are still indifferent to scientific research activities Of 500 students, 152/500 feel normal, which represents 30.4%, and 52/500 not like to participate in scientific research, which represents 10.4% 2.4.4 Awareness of the meaning of scientific research activities for students According to the results, the average score of 3.09 and 3.04 points is indicative of a very close correlation between students' awareness, management staff, and lecturerss' views on how scientific research activities can help students to consolidate, learn, master, and expand their knowledge; practice learning methods in university; help to connect knowledge to practice; raise the level of culture 2.4.5 Awareness of the necessity of scientific research activities for students Lecturerss (83% of lecturerss) and students (65.2% of students) agreed that scientific research is extremely necessary and necessary for students However, those are just statements aligned with policy In examining the explanations for the view that scientific research for students is unnecessary, it is clear that the goals and tasks of student's scientific research activities have not yet been deeply understood (132/ 500 students accounted for 25.4%; 25/200 administrators and lecturerss accounted for 12.5% In particular, 42/500 students accounted for Table 2.9: Necessity

4,5 Total 500 100 200 100 In a survey of management staff and teachers, results of questionnaires and in-depth interviews showed that 9.2% of them believe scientific research can only be done by specialists; 42.8% think students cannot pursue scientific research, and 57.7% consider the main role of students to be studying and not scientific research 2.4.6 About students' scientific research capacity Most respondents rated these contents as significant, with an average score of 3.03 At the same time, management staff, lecturers, and students assessed the level of skill performance as being quite competent with an average score of 2.71 However, that means the level of performance is lower than the level of perception 2.4.7 Advantages and disadvantages of students when participating in scientific research The basic advantages of students when conducting scientific research are the enthusiasm of the instructors and the attention and support of the functional departments It is imperative that lecturers and functional departments provide assistance to students throughout the scientific research process The difficulty is that students are not equipped with scientific research methods, and not know the sequence of steps to carry out scientific research In addition, limited facilities and equipment for students' learning and research are also permanent difficulties for students doing scientific research 2.5 Status of management of scientific research activities of university students in Hanoi city 2.5.1 The status of decentralization in the management of students' scientific research activities 2.5.1.1 Managing scientific research activities of university students The student's scientific research activity plan has not been clearly defined According to the survey results, most of the students did not actively develop a scientific research plan during the school year and during their training at the university They still carry out passive scientific research only when it is implemented at management levels 2.5.1.2 Managing scientific research activities of Faculty level students According to the survey form, the highest scores are 2.93 points for management staff and lecturers and 2.85 points for students This demonstrates that faculties and subjects have generally performed well across all core subjects However, there are differences between the opinions of management staff, teachers, and students on each topic 2.5.1.3 The role of lecturers to guide students in scientific research Through the survey results in Table 2.14, management staff and teachers are 2.72 points and students are 2.67 points, showing that if teachers have the ability and experience in guiding, they will advise and help students to follow the correct sequence of steps, Effectively implement and support students during the implementation process and help students verify the reliability of research results, helping students to be confident and passionate about research 2.5.2 Actual situation of managing activities to improve students' scientific research capacity The survey results show that, in order to effectively manage activities to improve scientific research capacity of students, school leaders must direct and organize participating forces to coordinate, support and manage activities Scientific research of our students includes prestigious managers, faculties, departments, lecturers and scientists This result is different according to the contents of management activities to improve the scientific research capacity of students Table

lecturers, and students rate the content of management activities for implementing students' scientific research as a good level, with average scores of 2.84 points and 2.77 points, respectively In most cases, universities have set up a process for managing the implementation of scientific research content provided by students, provide a notebook, and monitor and check the progress of implementation according to a set plan Table 2.16: Actual situation of managing the process of organizing and conducting scientific research activities for students Students Manage staff, lecturers No

have high coordination in management work among members and units involved in the management of students' scientific research activities, does not promote the core role of the scientific research management department, and does not endorse the importance of educators in supporting scientific research, does not encourage the role of Party organizations and mass organizations, nor does it link the content of students' scientific research activities with their activities 2.5.4 Actual situation of managing activities of acceptance and assessment of scientific research results of students The survey results in Table 2.17 show that the appropriateness of the criteria through the evaluation results of both students and administrators and teachers with a high level of over 80% is very appropriate and no criteria are judged as inappropriate In this way, universities use these basic criteria to evaluate the final results of students' scientific research, with the evaluation results reflecting the student's research capacity and skill level Based on the actual survey, schools have sent students out to deploy and evaluate their scientific research activities; however, the documents need to be more detailed, and more diverse in form, and test standards should be used to evaluate students' scientific research activities 2.5.5 The current situation of management of publishing, publication, and application of scientific research works by students This stage of management in schools has been a concern for university administrators but has not really been given due attention Students' scientific research products are not given much attention due to the poor quality of scientific research works The universities have announced the scientific research products of students in the Proceedings and the Website but have not yet taken effective measures to promote and apply those products to life Introducing scientific research results, ideas, start-up projects and making links with units, calling for investment cooperation, and supporting students to apply scientific research into practice face many challenges because of the needs and purposes of agencies and businesses, so scientific research for students must be flexible in terms of research content so that this can ensure the practical applicability of research results, ideas, and startup projects of students as well as businesses' interests 2.5.6 Actual situation of managing resources for students' scientific research activities 2.5.6.1 Human Resources a) About staff and lecturers One of the strengths of universities today is inheriting a team of cadres and teachers who are both virtuous and talented b) About students To become bright and successful in professional and social activities, students must actively study, practice, and equip themselves with basic skills and knowledge 2.5.6.2 Resources and resources a) Regarding material resources 12 The process of managing CSVC for training is not very strict The system of textbooks and documents is not very rich; books, reference materials, textbooks, and lectures are not regularly updated to suit the needs of students b) Regarding resources Currently, at universities, funding for scientific research activities of students is mainly provided by the school, so it is very limited Funds mobilized from recurrent expenses and revenuegenerating activities of the school are insignificant Non-budget revenue sources have not been established, and the ability to mobilize financial resources from society in the form of support, cooperation, joint training, and scientific research is not high In the two issues of facilities and finance, the financial issue is rated lower both in terms of full and timely response to students' scientific research activities The funding for science research students and for teachers to participate in guiding students is often delayed Therefore, the evaluation opinions of the surveyed subjects only reached 2.59 and 2.65, close to the average level 2.5.7 Current status of scientific research environment management for students According to the survey results shown in Table 2.22, the environmental management of scientific research by students was perceived and evaluated by students with an average rating of 3.94 With management staff, teachers have an average rating of 2.77 It can be seen that all schools pay due attention to the environmental management of students' scientific research, considering this as one of the most essential contents contributing to ensuring the quality of students' scientific research 2.6 Actual situation of factors affecting the management of scientific research activities of students 2.6.1 Student factors Student factors include the need, interest, and passion for scientific research, as their motivation and competence Changing social needs and increasing requirements for human resources require students to take additional courses 2.6.2 Lecturer factor When doing scientific research, students will have access to forms and content on a small scale With the guidance of teachers, students will devise procedures for conducting a scientific research project of high quality, quantity, and efficiency 2.6.3 The reality of school and social factors affecting the management of students' scientific research activities The Board of directors and management staff is aware of the importance of students' scientific research activities For students to promote their scientific research activities, knowledge, experience, the attention of leaders at all levels, qualifications, and encouragement, and guidance from teachers are key factors The survey results indicate that although there is a difference between the assessment of management staff and of teachers, the overall average score for students is 2.83 and for administrators and teachers is 2.93 All of these factors, as well as the appropriateness of their selection, have a profound impact on the scientific research activities of students 2.7 Assessing the status of management of scientific research activities of university students in Hanoi city 2.7.1 The current status of scientific research activities of university students in Hanoi city 2.7.1.1 Advantages Research activities conducted by students have partly promoted their strengths, helping to improve training quality in the context of educational innovation, successfully introducing updated skills, research methods, and organizing scientific research activities; solving some theoretical and practical problems related to training The organization of scientific research conferences/seminars for students has focused on reporting the results of students' scientific research, acceptance, and evaluation of students' scientific research activities on many levels 13 Students initially knew how to write a summary of a topic into a report at a conference or scientific conference Some of their research articles were published in the university's scientific journal Students have positive attitudes and emotions towards scientific research activities Many students with good scientific research skills can use research tools and facilities according to the requirements of research contents and forms The university's teachers have professional qualifications and are qualified to guide students in scientific research The number of teachers with academic titles and degrees is quite high In addition, universities mass organizations such as federation unions, youth unions, student associations promote and encourage staff, teachers and students to participate in scientific research They also organize academic activities to create a favorable scientific research environment 2.7.1.2 Limit Organization of scientific research conferences/seminars have been organized for students, but it is still formal, periodically, without depth, not high quality, and has not attracted many students to attend Many students participate in conferences and seminars with the mentality of having to participate The content of some conferences and seminars has not really created an attractive forum for students and has not spread the scientific research movement among students The number of scientific articles is very small; Students are still very confused about writing scientific articles, converting essays and large assignments into scientific articles Scientific research is not accessible to some students because they lack proficiency in using research methods Students may also not be well versed in all the stages of the research process Students' lack of understanding of the importance of scientific research impacts their sense of participation and how training and capacity building are organized Science research students are currently limited by their lack of research skills That is reflected in the skills of problem detection, problem-solving, assessment, problem analysis, and problem application in the process of conducting scientific research On the part of teachers guiding students in scientific research: many teachers, because they not have experience in guiding, are confused in orienting problems, researching content for students, correcting errors, and instructing students on how to find documents and processes information effectively Despite a uniform awareness of scientific research activities, there is a subset of students who are not well informed, not self-disciplined, and not self-reliant in their scientific research activities Many students still lack dynamism, creativity, and theory Teachers have not been trained in guiding students in scientific research skills Research by students is still heavily focused on theory, far from practice, and not effective in its application, and their contribution to learning and research is not significant 2.7.2 The current status of management of scientific research activities of university students in Hanoi city 2.7.2.1 Advantages The schools coordinate the efforts of those involved in scientific research, including university leaders, faculties, and functional departments This is done with the support and participation of mass organizations, i.e., federation unions, youth unions, and student unions The schools have basically formed the process of managing the implementation of the scientific research contents of students, having a system of notebooks, monitoring and checking the progress of the implementation according to the set plan There is regular and periodic inspection according to each stage of the student's research, thereby urging students to follow the schedule and complete the work on time All schools have classrooms and multi-purpose classrooms; libraries, practice rooms, function rooms practical for teaching and learning activities; there was an interest in developing a plan to strengthen academic institutions that can support the education of students and support students in scientific activities 2.7.2.2 Limit 14 The management apparatus of scientific research has not yet been perfected The operational ability of the functional department has not yet met the requirements for performing the management functions Managing the scientific research activities of students is still a generalized process, which does not address a range of issues that need to be addressed and managed Universities hardly have a long-term strategic plan to develop scientific research for students; The proposed plan is very general and lacks a specific action plan (sets out strategies to raise awareness on students' scientific research issues, develops action plans, supervises the implementation of policies and policies, books, conducts courses to improve the capacity of students in scientific research programs of activities to discover, foster, and support individual students with scientific research ability, establish a network of links between universities - Research Institutes Enterprises/manufacturing businesses The direction of universities leaders is still lacking in the coordination and implementation of students' scientific research activities across all levels of management In the management of scientific research activities of students, tasks are assigned, the layout is unclear, and overlapping functions occur Furthermore, overlapping tasks have not fully emphasized the role each level plays The process of organizing and implementing scientific research activities for students is still slow to improve and not effective This affects the management and implementation of scientific research activities of students, orientation as well as selection of content and proper implementation of the scientific research process The organization of activities to improve students' scientific research capacity to stimulate interest and creative thinking for students is still facing many difficulties There are times when the examination is not thorough, not frequent, and there are still limitations that need to be overcome Slow to innovate methods of testing, evaluating and rewarding students participating in scientific research are presented Evaluation criteria still have some differences between training institutions The documents and dispatches implementing the student's scientific research activities and evaluating the students' scientific research activities have not been detailed and more diverse in the forms and standards for testing and evaluating the scientific research activities of students Currently, universities not provide the necessary resources and conditions for students to participate in scientific research Funding sources for student research activities are mainly provided by the university, so they are very limited Funds mobilized from recurrent expenses and revenuegenerating activities of the universities are insignificant Non-budget revenue sources have not been created for training and scientific research activities at the university Management of publication, publication, and application of students' scientific research works into practice has been concerned by the leaders of the universities, but have been paid enough attention yet The quality of scientific research works is quite low and management levels have not paid much attention to the scientific research products of students, leading to not being able to link with agencies and businesses to call for investment, support ideas, and start-up projects in scientific research of students, have not yet implemented the application of students' scientific research results, have not had effective measures to promote and apply that product to life 2.7.3 The cause of the limitations The cause of the limitations is as follows Management work is limited There is an ineffective mechanism for coordination of units and individuals involved in managing scientific research activities among students; there are limits on the conditions that support scientific research; and there is an ineffective management organization apparatus, professional ability, and scientific research on the part of the management staff and teachers Also, some managers and teachers have limited capacity to manage or guide students in scientific research, but they have not been interested in professional training Additionally, funding for science and technology activities in general and students' scientific research is low; there are outdated facilities and equipment; there is a lack of information sharing, and there is no initiative and flexibility in creating support funding sources 15 Despite having a fully legal basis, several mechanisms and policies are no longer useful, not deep and strong enough, and need to be adapted, supplemented, and improved Conclusion of chapter By utilizing specific research methods, we investigated, analyzed, and discussed the advantages, disadvantages, and advantages of the current management of university student scientific research activities in Hanoi city Strengths and weaknesses that need to be addressed were also identified Students' scientific research activities have greatly contributed to promoting their diversity and abundance In addition, they have demonstrated the coordination of forces among universities involved in the management of students' research Students gradually acquire skills, and research methods and organize scientific research activities; solve a number of theoretical and practical problems associated with training disciplines The scientific research results of students over the past decade have contributed to improving the quality and effectiveness of education and training at universities in the context of educational innovation While the student's scientific research activities have greatly improved over the past few years, they still have many limitations such as limited management, ineffective coordination mechanisms, and ineffective management of companies Scientific research of students Limitations in organizing activities to improve scientific research capacity for students, professional competencies, and scientific research of management staff and teachers In terms of organizing and implementing scientific research activities for students, the process is still slow to improve, not effective in improving the quality of scientific research to meet society's needs, and not in accordance with the context of educational innovation Students' scientific research activities are limited by the methods of testing, evaluating, rewarding, and providing feedback Funding for science and technology activities in general and students' scientific research is low; Limiting conditions to ensure scientific research activities, lack of outdated facilities and equipment; lack of initiative and flexibility in creating support sources and activities to implement and apply the results of students' scientific research into practice The management apparatus for scientific research in general and students' scientific research in particular, has not reached perfection The operational ability of the functional department has not yet been able to meet the requirements of performing the management functions The main reason for this limitation is that student research activities cannot be managed effectively Other limitations include understanding, human conditions, organizational capacity, and professional capacity of staff members, as well as mechanisms, policies, and materials to support student scientific research It is necessary to propose solutions to manage the scientific research activities of university students in the context of educational innovation in the next chapter 16 CHAPTER SOLUTIONS TO MANAGE STUDETN IN SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH ACTIVITIES AT UNIVERSITY IN HANOI CITY IN THE CONTEXT OF EDUCATIONAL INNOVATION 3.1 Guiding
