Abstract

Political theory courses in higher education provide students with foundational knowledge of Marxism– Leninism, Ho Chi Minh Thought, the revolutionary guidelines of the Communist Party of Vietnam, and related political theories. These courses also contribute to the development of scientific thinking, the ability to analyze and evaluate social phenomena, and a sense of responsibility toward oneself and the community. This article identifies psychological factors affecting Hai Duong University students’ learning of political theory courses and proposes measures to strengthen their learning motivation, interest, engagement, and academic performance.

Keywords: Hai Duong University, learning interest, learning motivation, political theory, psychological factors, students.
