How to distinguish Imperialism and Colonialism?
Imperialism and Colonialism both originated from Europe and thrived in previous centuries. Below is a distinction between Imperialism and Colonialism.
Students may refer to the following table distinguishing Imperialism from Colonialism:
| Criteria | Colonialism | Imperialism |
| Definition | It is the occupation and control of one territory by another nation, often by establishing colonies and exploiting the resources of that land | It is a broader concept that includes colonialism and other forms of domination such as economic, political, and cultural control |
| Objective | Focuses on exploiting resources and economic benefits from the colonies | Expands the power and influence of a nation over others, not limited to territorial occupation |
| Methods of Control | Often uses direct control through establishing colonial governments and directly managing occupied territories | May use both direct and indirect methods of control. Indirect control is often through economic, political, and military measures without necessarily establishing a colonial government |
| Social Impact | Often leads to significant cultural and social changes in the colonies. Indigenous people may be forced to adopt the language, religion, and customs of the colonial power | Cultural and social impact may be less direct compared to colonialism. However, nations influenced by imperialism can still experience cultural and societal changes through the imposition of the values and systems of the imperial power |

What is the purpose of assessing educational results of students in History subject in Vietnam?
In the General Education Program for History issued with Circular 32/2018/TT-BGDDT, the purpose of evaluating educational results of students in History subject is to determine the extent to which students meet the required historical knowledge and competencies for each topic and each grade level. This evaluation then guides the adjustment of teaching and learning activities to achieve the program's objectives.
Evaluation activities should encourage students' passion for learning, exploring, and discovering historical issues; help students gain additional confidence and creativity in learning.
The evaluation content should focus on the ability to creatively apply historical knowledge learned in specific situations, not emphasizing the recall of historical knowledge or rote memorization.
Through evaluation, teachers can grasp the learning situation, and the level of differentiation in students' academic proficiency within a class, thereby providing assistance for students who have not met the knowledge and competence requirements, identifying and nurturing gifted students in history, and simultaneously adjusting and perfecting historical education methods.
Regarding the form of evaluation, it should combine continuous and periodic evaluations, include both teacher assessment and self-assessment by students; combine oral tests, written tests, practical assignments, research projects; and integrate both objective tests and essay assessments.
