Education, Generation Z, Modern Values, Technology Integration, Vietnamese Cultural StandardsResumo
Vietnam has experienced significant societal changes in recent years due to globalization and technological advancements. Generation Z, born between 1995 and 2012, stands out for their proficiency with technology, open-mindedness, and a global outlook, which often contrasts with the traditional values of older generations. This paper investigates the balance between preserving traditional Vietnamese values and integrating modern, technologically driven standards to establish human standards for Generation Z. This study employs quantitative and qualitative research methods to collect data. A survey was conducted among 500 university students to assess their understanding and acceptance of traditional and modern values. Additionally, semi-structured interviews were held with 30 respondents to gain deeper insights into their perspectives. The data was complemented by an extensive literature review to contextualize the findings within existing research. The research concludes that while Generation Z in Vietnam values traditional principles such as patriotism, solidarity, and compassion, they also prioritize individualism and modern values like proactiveness, responsibility, and respect for diversity. Traditional educational methods are perceived as outdated, necessitating innovative approaches to convey these values effectively. The study highlights the need for a balanced integration of traditional and modern standards in educational practices to nurture Vietnam’s future leaders while preserving its cultural heritage.Referências
