INTRODUCTION

1 The necessity of the dissertation

Vietnam national history has left many precious traditions They are patriotism, community

solidarity, humanity, tolerance, studiousness "respect teachers and highly regard moral values" and many other fine traditions These precious traditional cultural values create national characters of Vietnam Thanks to these values, Vietnam has always stood firm and everlasting throughout the history The traditional cultural values of the nation need to be educated and propagated widely and deeply in the society

Until the school year 2011 – 2012, there were 419 universities and colleges with a total of more than 2.2 million students This was a valuable human resource of the country as students are those who are young, dynamic, enthusiastic, ambitious and knowledgeable This force has a direct and profound impact on the socio-economic development of the country's social immediate in the short-term as well as long term

Due to the psychological features of specific age group, the youth and students are sensitive to the new and progressive things under the influence of outside impact; changes in economy, politics, culture and society in our country in recent years, especially the transition to the market economy opening up to the international integration, have created strong fluctuations in the spiritual life of the young generation

However, during the development of the market economy, there has risen negative influence to a great part of people, including students and the youth, which has changed their views about the traditional values The worrying issue is the decline in quality and ethics in a part of students, shown in the actions of running after material values, foreign bias, disregard or forgetting the traditional values of the nation It might disorder family and social rules, increase social evils and distort the personality being shaped of the youth

In this situation, education of the traditional cultural values for young students should be placed in

an urgent manner Moreover, in fact, educational programs of university system are still heavy on literacy, light on dignity In educational work, educating traditional cultural values in order to form and perfect good qualities for generations of students has not been appreciated Selecting the dissertation topic as "Educational activities on traditional cultural values for current students (

a survey research at several universities in Hanoi)", we hope to contribute to further clarification the reasoning issues of values, cultural values, the nation's cultural character, current situation and resolutions to promote the educational activities on traditional cultural values in order to form and improve good qualities for students in the context of industrialization, modernization and

international integration nowadays

2 Literature review:

Preserves and promotion of the nation's cultural character, education of culture, history and

traditional cultural values for young generation are concerned by the Party, the State and society There are many previous research works of the authors more or less mentioning the problem that this dissertation researches:

studies analyze historical process of formation & development and content of cultural and spiritual values of Vietnam in relation to national cultural character They also specify the positive sides that should be inherited and promoted as well as the limitations that need repairment or removal

Secondly, studies exploring the cultural and traditional values in the context of promoting

industrialization and modernization; development of socialist-oriented market economy and

proactive international economic integration: these projects analyze deeply the values of traditional culture, indicate the opportunities and challenges in the context of global economic integration, development of socialist-oriented market economy nowadays

Hanoi universities in particular: the works mention the importance and necessity of the construction

Although issues related to the subject are quite plentiful, so far there have not been any works focusing on Educational activities on Traditional cultural values for current students (a survey research at several universities in Hanoi) The researches on cultural and spiritual life of students and educational activities on fine traditional cultural values for the youth, especially students, still have a gap The works focus on determining traditional cultural valuesin general, but specific relationship between traditional cultural factors and the development of current students, the solutions from the perspective of the development needs of the students, the close relationship between traditional culture and the youth nowadays There is lack of highly technical proposals, the practical model to deliver traditional cultural values to students

Students are an eminent part of the youth In terms of education, students are typically invested individuals; they are educated at colleges and universities After graduation, they will become the main intellectual workforce of the society Therefore, students have important position and role to determine the progress of the society and industrialization - modernization of the country Hence, education for students generally and educating traditional cultural values particularly have a

significant meaning in education and training content in universities and colleges nowadays

Patriotism is a red thread connecting the entire history of Vietnam Educating students to know how

to inherit and promote the traditional values of patriotism against foreign aggression in protecting the country during this current situation, i.e poverty and underdevelopment elimination,

construction of a rich and strong society with justice, democracy, civilization and modernity More than ever, students need to be extremely aware of the important role of patriotism in the career of industrialization - modernization of the country

1.3.2.2 Humanity and tolerance

Humanity is expressed in human love and the will to help others, not-for-profit Tolerance is

manifested in altruism Educating humanity and tolerance for students will make them pay more respect to their teachers; help each other in learning and living; treasure public property; care about others' misfortune Such education would help students constantly raise their awareness and self-betterment; they would know how to take collective and national interests to guide their lives, which contribute, to the formation and development of students' personalities

1.3.2.3 Solidarity and sense of community

Solidarity and sense of community are expressed through relationships in big and small

communities such as family, clan, village or larger community like Vietnamese community Hence,

to educate solidarity for students means to build gradually their collective consciousness,

harmonization with collective movement from class to school and to the society Thereby, we can equip students with effective methods to resolve their problem between individual and society

Moreover, students will know how put the collective and social interests above personal interests; sacrifice for the community

1.3.2.4 Laboriousness and economization

Thanks to laboriousness and economization, our nation has been able to overcome many difficulties and challenges from the nature to build and develop this country Hence, education of laboriousness and economization would help students realize the significance role of labor in social development, help them know how to love and have the right attitude towards labor: Labor is the joy and

happiness of youth; working with creativity and ethics to obtain the productivity, quality and efficiency

1.3.2.5 Studiousness and respect payment for teachers

Inheriting and promoting the tradition of studiousness and respecting teacher are not only students’ responsibilities and obligations, but also the great honor of students to contribute to enrich the

intellectual potential for the country It will become one of the factors that ensure the high-speed

development rate of the country and the success of the innovation of the country

In addition to the precious traditions mentioned above, there are still many good traditions preserved such as heroism, gratefulness and so on These precious traditions have played a very important role in the social life of Vietnamese people in the past, present and future Thus, inheriting national traditions, and raising them to a new higher level are the responsibility of Vietnamese people, especially the youth nowadays

1.3.3 The participants in the education of traditional cultural values for students

In our country, there are many participants in the education of traditional cultural values for

students In addition to the authority of the Party and the State, there are three main groups

including: the leader and manager (The Party Committee, the School Managing Board, Training department, Politics - Student department, the Dean, teacher ); knowledge educators (teaching staff, reporters, communicators and so on) and the assistant group (The Youth organizations, Student Associations and students' families)
