In Vietnam, what are the regulations on innovation in assessing students at various educational levels in Literature?

Under Section 2 of Official Dispatch 3175/BGDDT-GDTrH in 2022, the regulations on innovation in assessing students at various educational levels in Literature are:

- Ensure that positive aspects of their individuality, imagination, language skills, literary abilities, symbolic thinking, and logical thinking are enhanced.

-  Focus on designing and using tasks and questions that require students to apply learned knowledge and skills in reading, writing, speaking, and listening to new contexts and materials; create opportunities for students to explore new knowledge, propose ideas, and create new products; stimulate associations, imaginations, and leverage their life experiences in the process of reading, writing, speaking, and listening.

- In assessing the results at the end of each semester, school year, or educational level, avoid reusing texts that have been studied in textbooks as materials to construct reading comprehension and writing tests to accurately assess students' competency and address the issue of students merely memorizing or copying available content.

- Encourage the development and use of open-ended questions in assessment to maximize students' creativity. Develop assessment tools to minimize the subjective and emotional biases of assessors. When reviewing and assessing students' work, respect and encourage their unique ways of thinking and feeling, ensuring compliance with ethical, cultural, and legal standards.
