Today, the technological and scientific revolution thrives, marking the process of globalization taking place in all areas. In the process of integration, education in Vietnam in general and higher education, in particular, are facing fierce competition right at home. Especially the wave of industrial revolution 4.0 and non-traditional education methods pose many challenges for the education industry, especially higher education.

How is the change of method at universities going? These questions were open issues for the authors to embark on research on the need to change the current teaching and learning methods in Vietnamese universities.
