What is the reason for the existence of badminton doctor to bad doctor?

Not only successfully defending the doctoral thesis in education “research on solutions to develop badminton sport for civil servants in Son La city”, author Dang Hoang Anh previously published 2 studies related to this thesis. judgment.

In 2019, the author announced “The reality of the badminton movement for employees” at the Pacific International Conference in the context of the industrial revolution 4.0″, Bac Ninh University of Physical Education and Sports, page 147 -149.

In 2020, the author published “The current situation of needs, motivations and interest in badminton training of civil servants and officials in Son La city” in the Journal of Science, Training and Sports Training, No. 3), Bac Ninh University of Physical Education and Sports, pp. 31-33.

According to information from Mr. Tran Hieu, Director of the Institute of Sports Science (Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism) the topic “research solutions to develop badminton for civil servants in Son La city”. , the content of the topic was announced in December 2021 and successfully accepted at the hospital level on January 19, 2022.

Thus, the standards for the protection of the doctorate of Dang Hoang Anh are implemented in accordance with Circular 18/2021/TT-BGDĐT on the Regulation on enrollment and training at the doctoral level issued by the Ministry of Education and Training. There is an opinion that not only “doctor badminton” but “bomb” of poor quality doctor has begun to emerge from this standard when it is no longer required that PhD students must have international publication.

Dr. Vu Thi Phuong Anh (Deputy Director of the Institute of Science Education and Teacher Training, Hong Bang International University), said that according to the Association of European Research Universities, to ensure the quality of the thesis progress. PhD students need two things: academic culture and research quality assurance processes. In which the academic culture is the foundation and the main responsibility lies in the training institution. Every college student is taught very carefully about scientific integrity, about academic standards at each level, about the importance of publishing and widely disseminating their research results to the public. consensus to contribute, debate and oppose.

Of course, the responsibility rests with the instructor and the review board. These people also represent the academic culture of the university to guide, guide, and correct students during the process, thus limiting most of the errors.

Dr. Phuong Anh also said that in the West, the Ministry of Education has little intervention in doctoral training. Regulations on quality assurance procedures are often self-imposed and voluntary by associations.

For example, the Association of European Research Universities has set out four processes for doctoral training. The first is to clearly define the quality requirements. The second is to check if the requirements have been met (this is the job of the management department in the school, including the selection of council members). The third is periodic random review of theses to identify the issues that need improvement and the fourth is to adjust and improve the whole system. However, the main problem is still the individual PhD student, the instructor and the training place.

“There are no degrees in foreign countries because not everyone is interested and suitable to do PhDs. Only those who really want to do research will study for a doctorate, but in Vietnam, there is a doctoral inflation.” .

The ‘filter’ is supposed to be in the use of personnel

The question is why public opinion strongly reacts to doctoral theses and even many anonymous doctorates, but human resource users and people in the same major think that there is no problem with the thesis. .

For example, the PhD thesis in education studies solutions to develop badminton for civil servants in Son La city by author Dang Hoang Anh, which was successfully guided, defended and accepted at the Institute of Science and Technology. Physical Education and Sports (Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism).

Mr. Duong Xuan Luong, Deputy Director of the Center for Defense and Security Education, Northwestern University also said that many online comments may be due to not having a deep understanding of the field of sports, so it is assumed that the content Scientifically, the novelty of this topic is not “worthy” to become a doctoral thesis. And according to Mr. Luong, it is important that this thesis has been graded, approved and recognized by the scientific council.
And Mr. Tran Hieu, Director of the Institute of Sports Science (Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism) also confirmed that this topic has been appraised by the council through many rounds, has full procedures and test records. correct collection.

According to Dr. Phuong Anh, one aspect of this issue that is not standard is that a fake doctorate degree still has a place and the reason is that some human resource policies are not correct. According to Phuong Anh, the filter should be in the stage of use. If the work is not related to research or academia, it doesn’t matter whether you have a doctorate or not, which will reduce the “crisis” of degrees.

“Overseas the doctorate is only used for teaching and research and if there is no outstanding research record, no university will accept it and the possibility of unemployment is very high, but there is no chance of completing a doctorate. Administrative officials sit as the boss,” said Ms. Phuong Anh.

A university leader said that the most feared thing right now is that people with a little power and education, even if they are anonymous, sit on the peer-review committee. This is a formal logic because it looks like a scholar, but an empty mind sits in a council just to deceive people. Meanwhile, people think that the grandparents must be prestigious.

Mr. Hoang Ngoc Vinh, former Director of the Department of Professional Education (Ministry of Education and Training) welcomed the Ministry of Education and Training to publish all theses of many doctoral theses on the Ministry’s website. This is a dual-use job that helps PhD students to refer to good theses and avoid bad ones. At the same time, only publicly can the society know the actual status of scientific topics as well as doctoral theses today.

According to Mr. Vinh, a number of doctoral training institutions belonging to a number of socio-political organizations also need to publicize the full thesis.

On the other hand, it is time for management agencies and training institutions to elaborate more detailed and scientific on the criteria for evaluating a doctoral thesis, not only stopping the “new” general, the independent one. “Copy”.

Not every member of the council has the skills to evaluate, critically comment in a scientific way because this depends on the professional capacity, thinking and extensive education of each council member. The thesis evaluation criteria are too general and lack standards (writing, research methods, presentation and interpretation of data, systematic thinking.., do not refer to the output standards in the national qualification framework. ..), the assessment is difficult to be objective and with integrity.
