1. General overview of the thesis

 “The development of creative idea of the military social sciences  and humanities postgraduate nowadays” is the scientific subject which 

the author has been interested in learning and approaching to research for many years. This is a new, independent, non­overlapping with the scientific works published in domestic and foreign

Along with author ideas and the orientation and enthusiastic comments of individuals, groups of scientists, the authors decided to choose  this  topic  to research  in the  thesis,  which it  is  useful  for training,   research   and   management   of   postgraduate   The   thesis contribute   to   clarify   some   contents,   characteristics   and   rules   of development of creative ideas of postgraduate; analysing to clarify the   status   and   pointing   out   the   impact   factors   and   requirements, propose   system   solutions   to   develop  creative  idea  of   the  military social sciences and humanities postgraduate. The contents posed and solved in the thesis is inherited selectively from the previous work of the scientists involved in the thesis

2. Reasons for choosing thesis topic

Nowaday, one of the best features of  information society is the thinking   ability,   knowledge,   human   thoughts   are   making   strong progress in the direction of "the organization, management, creativity and innovation", which based on the new, unique and usefull ideas. Accordingly,  the development   of  creative  idea  on   both   aspects   of theory and practice has become the dominant factor that controls and motivate the development of human life in modern society. Because the idea is both a development basis and a factor of production, most 

of the material and spirit products are made in this era which tend to crystallize and converge more and more knowledge and intellect in them, so  the development of  creative idea  are high appreciate and promoted to the maximum extent

The development of creative idea of the military social sciences and humanities postgraduate has played an important role in creating the new quality of thinking, intelligence, creativity both in theory and practice of military politics of fellows at the present and in the future. From   there   contributing   to   the   successful   implementation   of   the 

of higher human resources on military social sciences and humanities for   the   Vietnam’s   Party   and   country,   in­depth   study   Marxist   ­ Leninism science, Ho Chi Minh’s ideology and theory of Vietnam’s Party military  guidelines  To be aware of this issue, the developing subjects frequently concern and attach great importance to developing creative ideas of fellows in learning and studying theories and has achieved some encouraging results. 

However,   compared   with   the   demands   of   practice,   the development   of  creative   idea   of   the  military   social   sciences   and humanities postgraduate has limitations of scientific content, novelty, unique and usefulness;   the exploring and discovering new ideas of research, new approaches or perspectives, solutions is limited. There are overlaps of content and structure in scientific works of fellows that negatively affect the quality of training, scientific research

Especially   in   the   current   situation,   when   the   process   of international integration and globalization are taking place strongly together   with  the   strong   growth   of   the   knowledge   economy,   the scientific revolution, and before the innovation requirements of the period of industrialization and modernization of Vietnam poses to the military social sciences and humanities should continue to explain, clarify   the   perspectives,   objectives,   tasks,   force,   power,   protection method of the socialist republic of Vietnam; the content to build the national defense and national defense  strategy, the people's war for national defense strategy; perspective, the motto of building Vietnam People's Army politically; supplementing, developing and perfecting the   mechanism   of   military   leading   of   Party   in   the   new   situation; political issues of foreign army

Therefore,   the   implementation   of   the   research   clarify   the development   of  creative   idea   of   the  military   social   sciences   and humanities postgraduate that is the basic to build the team of teachers, scientists   and   commanders   They   have  highly   qualified   astute theoretical thinking as well the ability to create new knowledge and apply   to   the   activities   of   teaching,   researching,   leadership, management,   command,   education   the   officers;   resolved   properly and promptly demands from reality of military political activities and 

in our life; contributing to build the revolutionary, formal, elite and gradually modernized army, always strong in the new situation is an urgency   problem   The   author   choose   this   topic   for   study   in   the framework   of   specialized   doctoral   thesis   of   the   dialectical materialism and historical materialism expertise.

at the Academy of Politics nowadays".

In the above scientific works, the authors have  clarified   the perceptions,   thoughts,   ideas,   independence   and   creativity   of postgraduates of the military social sciences and humanities. These works also point out, the doctoral training quality, particularly the knowledge,   thinking   method,   creativity   and   new   contributions   in 

of thinking, creativity, intelligence, attitude   in the creation of ideas. The works only mentioned the role, methods, solutions and processes of creating ideas, hardly delve into concepts, academic. They have pointed out   the   method   of   creating   the  ideas  and  applying  in   practice,   not clarifying its nature and its relationship with other factors

  Follow us to approach the creative idea comprehensively and insightfull,   we   need   to   respect   the   intellectual   facularties,   thinking, novelty, usefulness, scientific and unique

We need to clarify the relationship of idea and consciousness, awareness,   creative   thinking,   scientific   thinking   and   practice; characteristics, structure system and trends of the components of creative ideas. From there, find out the basis to study the concept of creative ideas of military social science and humanities postgraduate and point out   its   characteristics;   making   comparisons   to   distinguish   between creative ideas of postgraduate  of military social sciences and humanities with the creative ideas of military postgraduate  in other disciplines and point out the usefulness and application of the thesis for army and life.

Second, creative ideas have been researched by many scientists 

all the world, in fact, and applied in the sciences and other fields of social life. And in Vietnam reseaches of idea initially have become markedly effective, but mainly are applied in some fields of sciences that   we   call   creative   science   or   scientific   creativity,   science   of creative innovation. We have established research centers, club and websites   of   creative   science,   “one   idea   for   everyday”   program showed on TV and many books, magazines about idea are published. With   the   Party   and   State   encouragment   in   this   field,   many companies, social ­ economical organizations have hold contests of creative ideas in many fields and has attracted many forces

However, the mention of the idea and the intensive studies on creative idea in Vietnam are mainly applied researches, the basic research   has   not   been   properly   respected   and   also   has   left   open. Therefore, the study of creative ideas,  finding solutions to develop creative   ideas   for   society,   especially   for   the   staff   of   scientific researchers, teachers, education – training managers is essential. The scientific   works   are   published   primarily   on   creative   thinking, capacity, creative promotion   However, there is no scientific works directly studying the creative ideas of learner (training object) in the doctoral training facility of military academies. So, the development 

of  creative   idea   of   the  military   social   sciences   and   humanities postgraduate nowadays is the first work that researches the basic theory 

of creative idea and development of creative idea of particular object is the military social sciences and humanities postgraduate

Third,   developing  creative   idea   of  postgraduate   students   of 

military  social sciences and humanities  is  both purposeful  activity, cognitive activity and proactive activity of the subject to the reality in which contained development itself of the postgraduate when make new theoretical contributions. On the basis of a correct understanding 

of the objective laws of developing movement, the subject has the appropriate impact to promote the development of creative ideas of postgraduate of military social sciences and humanities, in response 

to the practical demands of radical, comprehensive   innovation of doctoral training and scientific research in the new situation

Fourth,   the   reality   of   doctoral   training   of   military   social 

sciences  and  humanities,   there  are  some  of   the  science  works  of fellows having no new contributions, lacking of practicalness and usefulness;   duplicate   expression,   interference,   plagiarism…   From this, in the process of work, study, research the author always pay more   attention   to   find   the   solution   in   order   to   improve   the management of postgraduate training quality

Chapter 1THE THEORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF CREATIVE IDEA OF THE MILITARY SCIENCES AND HUMANITITES 

POSTGRADUATE NOWADAYS1.1. The creative idea and the nature of developing of creative idea of the military social sciences and humanities postgraduate

1.1.1   The   concept   of   the  creative  idea   and   characteristic  of   creative idea of the military social sciences and humanities postgraduate 

* The concept of the creative idea

In philosophy, the idea is expressed, used in some concepts which is known as the image and symbol of the spirit. Generally, the idea is mentioned as the representative image or the image of some things,   phenomena,   or   in   other   contexts,   the   idea   is   seen   as   the concept,   though   abstract   concepts   do   not   necessarily   appear   as images  The  idea  is  thought   that   arise  in  the  human  mind;   these thoughts can not only be shaped correctly, completely or unclearly but   also   have   full   of   structure   and   content   as   well   as   the   its 

it flashes in the thinking process or a sequence of activities in the specific circumstances

Ideas also known as conception, opinion, thoughts, attitudes, actions,   solutions   and   they   are   fueled   by   inspiration,   creative aspirations with special emotion to create trends and the ability that inspire and develop creative activities. It is a product that is drawn from the thinking process of human life

With such approach, we can come to a concept that, creative  idea is the discovery of human, reflected in the change, "breaking   rule” ­ rulable way in the thinking process, meeting the objective   requiment of the new of the society in practice. Or creative ideas 

reflect   the   results   of   the   thinking   process   to   appear   discovery (invention)   that   creates   new   valuable   products   both   material   and spiritual to meet the need of human life in society

From  the  concept above shows, the standard of all creative 

ideas revealed in the following aspects: novelty, is understood as the 

embodiment, combination, integration of knowledge and knowledge from the start to the end of the idea that expressed pioneer, unrepeat, surpassing the old framework and order. Along with the usefulness, creative ideas are always associated with creative activities to make new products, which reflect objectively new situations, new quality and new purpose. Creative ideas in any fields in the social life always make the new, the unique, and getting benefit  for the development of human society

Besides  the  unique  is  an  indispensable  attribute  of   creative ideas. That is, the ability create entirely new ideas which differ with the previous ideas. Since emitting idea (see the problem) and how to implement   those   ideas   (the   settlement,   implementation   problems) have dramatically different to normal and tend to avoid repeating old solution offered in disbelief

The smoothness is one of  typical and creative attributes, of course. That is the speed of making interpretation that is oriented by thinking. The whole  process of  emerging  to execute ideas    always 

obeys the laws and rules of thinking. In the process, we have to find the same characteristic  in  different  ones  (toward  the universal  and rules);  pointed   out  the  differences   in  similar  ones  (finding  the particular,  unique,  new ones),  and the smoothness  is a measure  of creative ideas.

One   of   the  important   features  of  creative   ideas  is   the 

systematic   characteristic   Any  ideas   are  born   that  included   many 

factors . There is the interaction inside and outside between them that 

to  create   unified   form   This   is  the  specific  characteristic   and   the guaranteed method to arise  and  concretize idea. It also shows the targeted,  multi­dimensional   and  comply   with  controling   rule, organizing methods in the specific circumstances, conditions, space, time

In   addition,   creative   ideas   have   attributes   of  flexibility,  dispersion,   linking,   evocation   and   imagination  that   expresses   the 

ways of thinking, permutation, transformation

*   Characteristics   of   creative   ideas   of  social   sciences   and  humanities postgraduate 

The postgraduates  of social sciences and military humanities have the same characteristics as postgraduates of other fields. Due to the nature  of   particular   activities  and  requirements  for   doctoral   training quality   of   social   sciences   and   military   humanities,   it  has   its   own characteristics  which   is  different  from   the  postgraduates  of   social sciences and humanities

The  difference  are   showed   as:  The   postgraduates  of   social sciences and military humanities are military officers who are studying 

to   become   teachers,   scientists,   experts   of   teaching,  researching, organizing to  research social sciences and humanities in the military field. They also take part in political theory  struggle  positively and effectively  to contribute to the protection and development of Marxism 

­ Leninism, Ho Chi Minh’s ideology and Vietnam’s Party guidelines. Moreover, the field of doctoral training is  sciences of social and military   humanity,   a   special   theory   of   sciences   of   social   and humanities that focus on the political­ social aspect and researches on humans, the human relationship in the army; relation between people with military technical equipment and military environments

From the explanation of ideas, creative ideas in general along with   the   characteristics   of   postgraduate   of   social   sciences   and military humanities, it is possible to come to the concept that:

The   creative   idea   of   postgraduate   of   social   sciences   and   humanities   reflected   the   result   of   the   thinking   process   with   the   general knowledge toward the discoveries that have theoretical and   practical value to implement effectively the requirements and tasks of   postgraduate in training and scientific research.

From   the   concept   shows   creative   ideas   of  postgraduate  of 

social sciences and military humanities are expressed through the following aspects:

First, the creative ideas of postgraduate of social sciences and 

military humanities is the new theme with relatively determined scale that show political view and military humanism. They always reflect objective reality of military operations

Second,  the creative ideas of  postgraduate  of social sciences 

and military humanities are formed inwards and reflect independently creative thinking

Third, the creative ideas of postgraduate of social sciences and 

military humanities is thinking image of people who are studying to become teachers, scientists

1.1.2. The nature of  the development of  creative idea of the  military social sciences and humanities postgraduate 

From   the   concept   shows   the   nature   of   the   process   of   the 

development of creative ideas of postgraduate of social sciences and 

military humanities are expressed through the following aspects: 

First,  developing   creative   ideas   of  postgraduate  of   social 

sciences and military humanities is an interaction of subjects during training course

Second,  developing creative ideas of  postgraduate  of social 

sciences and military humanities  is the process of intergrating and transforming knowledge of learners meanwhile the learners find new ideas to implement training tasks and scientific research

Third,   developing   creative   ideas   of  postgraduate  of   social 

sciences and military humanities is to find and resolve questions and conflicts in learning and researching which creating a motivation to
