Đề xuất khung năng lực hỗ trợ thiết kế chương trình đào tạo tại các trường đại học địa phương ở Việt Nam: minh họa qua lĩnh vực nông nghiệp công nghệ cao

An Illustration from the High-Tech Agriculture Sector

Tóm tắt

Provincial universities have a distinctive advantage in aligning curricula with region-specific economic sectors; however, this advantage is being eroded by institutional isomorphism (DiMaggio & Powell, 1983), while current labor market needs assessments typically identify demand at the occupation level without specifying the competencies and proficiency levels required by employers. This study develops a three-tier competency framework integrated with a five-level proficiency scale as a complementary tool for curriculum design at provincial universities, employing purposive conceptual synthesis, comparative analysis of international models, and theoretical generalization within the Vietnamese context. The findings indicate that competency-based design enables more precise specification of learning outcomes at the competency and proficiency levels, thereby strengthening the alignment between training programs and workforce demands. The study derives four implications from the illustrative case: supplementing learning outcomes with competency-level specifications, developing interdisciplinary curriculum structures, strengthening university - industry collaboration mechanisms, and clarifying institutional responsibilities within the local workforce development ecosystem. The proposed framework is theoretical in nature; future research should empirically validate the proposed framework through employer surveys and extend its application to other economic sectors.
