The general education curriculum promulgated by the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training in 2018 has identified 10 common competencies that need to be formed and developed for students in the coming period, including computing capacity. The Math general education curriculum issued in 2018 helps students form and develop mathematical competence (the most concentrated expression of computing capacity) including the following core elements: mathematical thinking and reasoning; mathematical modeling; mathematical problem solving; mathematical communication; use mathematical learning tools and media.

The aim of this study was to design an assessment framework for mathematical competence.

From the Grade 3 Math curriculum, the research team has proposed a math competency standard with 90 items. From these 90 items, design 6 illustrative test questions. Each test consists of 30 questions, between which there are 15 fixed questions designed to measure students’ mathematical competence.

A sample of 383 students in grade 3 were recruited for the study with the participation of 3 researchers and 5 elementary school teachers. A mathematical competence framework and six tests with anchor items were designed to measure students’ mathematical competence.

The results of analysis using an approach to item response theory showed that the items had good fits with the model and they could be used to describe mathematical competence learning progression with different levels of proficiency. The tests were reliable and valid, and the anchor items were good for connecting students’ mathematical competence.

The study investigated the effective delivery of Basic Science curriculum concepts using inquiry based strategy on students’ academic achievement in Delta Central Senatorial District. Three research questions and three null hypotheses guided the study. Quasi-experimental design was adopted for the study, specifically, non-equivalent pretest and posttest control group design. The sample for the study comprised of 275 JSS II basic science students from six mixed JSS2 classes in intact classes in Delta Central Senatorial District, drawn using Simple random sampling techniques. The experimental group was taught using inquiry based teaching strategy, while lecture method was taught using conventional. The instrument used for data collection was the Basic science Achievement Test (BSAT). Data collected were analyzed using mean, standard deviation and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). The results revealed that inquiry based teaching strategy was superior to the conventional instructional method in facilitating students’ achievement in basic science. There was no significant difference in the mean scores of male and female students in basic science curriculum concepts. Based on the findings, it was concluded that the inquiry based strategy is a better option in delivery Basic Science curriculum concepts. It was recommended among others that science teacher’s educators should adopt inquiry based strategy when teaching in order to enhance students’ achievement in basic science and technology.

In Minister of Law and Human Rights Regulation Number 9 of 2013, online registration of fiduciary guarantees has been regulated. The purpose of writing this article is to gain an understanding of the implementation of this system. In addition, another objective is to gain a better understanding of the online fiduciary registration process, as well as the supporting components and barriers that occur during the process. This research utilizes a statutory and factual approach. A guarantee of legal certainty has been provided through the registration of collateral with the object of fiduciary guarantee through computer media and the internet.

One of the barriers to registering fiduciary guarantees electronically and connected to the internet is slow internet speed and interruptions. Many financing institutions do not register fiduciary guarantees due to the high cost of making the deed and registering it. As a result, creditors will not have preference rights over unregistered fiduciary guarantees.
