Digital Competence of Students from Economic Universities in Vietnam in the Digital Economy

In recent years, digital competence has become one of the most significant fundamental competences in the digital economy. Digital competence is a key aspect for student majoring in economic in order to study and work in the world of the global economy. The development of digital competence for students include the determination of the conceptual content and current status of students' digital competence. For countries conducting digital transformation in the later stages like Vietnam, inheriting the achievements of previous countries is the optimal choice. After analyzing and synthesizing experiences from previous research results and the digital competence measurement frameworks for students from Vietnam and other countries, we chose an appropriate digital competence framework - the DLGF Framework of UNESCO to conduct measurement and assessment of the available digital competences of students. This study will be a basis for proposing the training programs to develop their digital competence for students in Vietnam. Keywords: Digital competence, university students, digital economy.
