Scientific research helps students become better every day.

Full text of the speech by the student representative of Dai Nam University at the University-level Student Scientific Research Conference for the academic year 2025-2026.

Hoang Gia Hue - MAR 17-03 class, Faculty of Business Administration and Marketing, represented the students and delivered a speech at the University-level Student Scientific Research Conference for the 2025-2026 academic year.

Dear esteemed teachers and school leaders,

Dear teachers and fellow students!

I would like to extend my respectful greetings and best wishes for good health to all the teachers and attendees of the conference!

My name is Hoang Gia Hue, a student from class MAR 17-03, Faculty of Business Administration and Marketing. Today, I am honored to represent 782 students participating in scientific research in the 2025-2026 academic year and speak at this conference.

Dear Professors and fellow students, for many students, scientific research initially seems like something quite "distant"—difficult, stressful, and demanding in terms of knowledge and skills. When I first started, I was also bewildered, even doubting my own abilities at times. But it was from those first steps that I realized that scientific research is not a place for perfectionists, but a place that helps students become better every day.

The first value that research brings is a change in the way we learn. Previously, we were accustomed to receiving knowledge in a one-way manner. However, participating in research forces us to proactively ask questions, independently search for information, analyze, verify, and defend our viewpoints with logical arguments. From there, we gradually shift from learning to memorize to learning to understand, to critically analyze, and to solve practical problems.

The second value we realized is the very clear connection between theory and practice. Research topics are no longer abstract issues, but begin from things very close to our learning process and lives: from the application of artificial intelligence in learning, extracting essential oils from natural materials, the flipped classroom model, to stories about dormitories, or the impact of social media on student behavior…

The research project by Hoang Gia Hue and Dinh Hong Ngoc excellently won third prize at the school level.

Some topics delve into technical models and the application of new technologies; others focus on developing skills such as language reflexes and communication in real-world environments. Each topic represents a different approach, but they all share one common point: they originate from practice and return to serve practice. These experiences helped us realize that knowledge is no longer dry and theoretical, but becomes more accessible and vibrant; learning is not just about receiving information, but also about applying it to create value. And from this, we gained a deeper understanding of the meaning of "learning to change"—changing how we learn, changing how we perceive problems, and gradually creating positive changes for ourselves and our community.

This is also how learners gradually develop and enhance the output competencies according to the OBE training orientation that the school is implementing.

Dear Professors and Students,

To gain these valuable experiences, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to the University for creating an open academic environment where students are encouraged to try new things, are allowed to make mistakes, and can grow.

In the 2025-2026 academic year, student scientific research activities at Dai Nam University will be implemented comprehensively, with increasingly improved scale and quality.

We would also like to express our deepest gratitude to our teachers – who not only imparted knowledge but also accompanied, guided, and inspired us to dare to embark on the path of scientific research.

And finally, I would like to thank all the students – those who have worked together, persevered, and spread the spirit of academic excellence throughout the University.

In the future, we sincerely hope that the University will continue to pay attention to, expand, and promote student scientific research activities even more strongly, so that more and more students will have the opportunity to experience, grow, and develop comprehensively to meet the requirements of their studies and careers in the future.

Wishing you all good health, and wishing the conference great success!

Thank you very much!
