The program is organized by the Center for Training Quality Assurance (TTDBCL) in coordination with the Faculty of Literature to guide staff and lecturers on the process of implementing the self-assessment plan for high-quality undergraduate training programs in Literature, aiming to assess the current quality status and improve and enhance the quality of training programs.

As the last program in the first group of three high-quality training programs (Literature, Philosophy, Management Science) of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities implementing the self-assessment plan, the training session for staff of the Faculty of Literature took place in a serious and open working atmosphere. The conference had three important tasks: introducing the VNU Training Program Quality Assessment Standards, sharing experiences and some notes in the process of writing a self-assessment report on the quality of training programs, and interspersing exchanges and discussions between experts and staff participating in the training.

According to Master Nguyen Huy Cuong, the mandatory requirement in the self-assessment process is to comply with a set of 15 standards with 68 criteria according to the 7-point assessment scale of VNU, in which the content on the output standards of the training program, the description of the training program, and the feedback and evaluation of students; alumni; lecturers currently teaching at the school and employers are highlighted. At the same time, Mr. Cuong also emphasized: the factor of demonstrating the implementation process plays a very important role, because doing without evidence will not be recognized by anyone.

Answering questions from lecturers of the Faculty of Literature about the role of each staff and lecturer in the self-assessment report of the training program and concerns about the objectivity of the self-assessment, Dr. Nguyen Van Chieu - Deputy Director of the Center for Quality Assurance and Quality Control clearly stated the supporting role of the School's Quality Assurance Team after the self-assessment process; at the same time, affirmed the mandatory nature of participation in the self-assessment report of staff and lecturers of the faculties.

In addition, Ms. Ngo Thi Kieu Oanh, Department of Organization and Personnel, shared: the training session focused on approaching the set of standards to serve the process of making self-assessment reports that must be submitted in early October.

In the experience exchange and report writing guidance section, Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Chi Hoa noted that the evaluation of training programs must be agreed upon by all staff in the Faculty before being submitted to the external evaluation stage. When grading training programs, appropriate considerations must be made. A Faculty's report needs to be compiled, agreed upon, and checked by someone.

In addition to explaining in detail the steps in the training program evaluation process, Associate Professor Hoa also emphasized: when writing a report, the training program description must have clear evidence, evaluate strengths as well as shortcomings, and state issues that need to be improved according to a specific schedule. At the same time, he affirmed that collecting evidence, confirming evidence and defending evidence to synthesize and write a report requires carefulness and meticulousness, and he believes that the Faculty of Literature can do well in these strengths. Mr. Hoa also pointed out that in evaluating teaching quality, the Faculty of Literature has the advantage in terms of facilities thanks to a rich system of documents that help student support and consulting activities to be effective.

The time to complete the Self-Assessment Report on Training Program Quality is 19 weeks. Specifically, the implementation of writing the Report will have more specific and detailed instructions from the experts of the Training Center.
