Reasons to select the subject Our country is now under the progress of international economicintegration to improce the competitiveness of the economy. This requireshigher education to strongly transform so as to enhance the training qualityand supply the economy with adequately competent and qualified humanresource in the operation of all economic fields. It also means that universitieshave to transform themselves step by step to become destinations thatdevelop necessary abilities for learners, help them to act creatively yetindependently, able to study, search and solve information on their own,become knowledgable workers that meet the demand of society, adapt to theever-changing living environment and confidently join the global integration. Political report of the Party at XI Congress has clearly stated: “ Theessential and comprehensive innovation of education and training... Program,content, teaching method, testing method innovation....enhancecomprehensive education quality, especially attach importance to perceptioneducation,...,morality, lifestyle, creative ability, practice skill, industrialmanner, social responsibiliy”. Hereby, enhancing education and trainingquality in general; and higher educaton in particular, is an imperative issueand the most important solution for our education to keep pace with theworld’s science development and meet the requirements of internationaleconomic integration in the beginning of 21st century. In Vietnam ‘s Education Law, the objective of higher education notedthat : “The objective of higher education is to train learners into citizens whoown political quality, morality, the awareness to serve people, the knowledgeand professional ability that are equal to training level, the well-being to buildand protect their nation...” In the current times, when the perception of human reaches a higherlevel, the thinking ability is no longer holds its original meaning but alsoneeds to become the ability to take action. It is because that people do notonly think to grasp conceptions about the world, but also create in order tochange it and make it a better place. The importance of creativity is still onthe rise annually in every section of society as a response from the world lifeand the exciting business environment. The creativity is encouraged anywhereand anytime. Business brands seek for new product upgrade and highlycreative marketing campaigns. Scientists seek for creative methods to carryout technical solutions. Meanwhile, communities and familes are in search ofcreative methods that create a higher living standard. Application of positive teaching methods in Chemistry with the use ofteaching equipments plays a significant role to develop the independence andcreativeness of students. Chemistry is a subject that belongs to natural science, playing animportant role in implementing higher education objectives. Among thoseobjectives are developing students’s ability, helping students build up ability 4to work independently and creatively as well as resolve issues of majors thatthey were trained for. The organic chemistry program in technical universitieshas many applicable contents for positive teaching method to effectivelydevelop independence and creativity. The actual testing result showed that the application of positiveteaching method in organic chemistry still had limitation. Normally, teachersonly used presentation skill as a main way. Students just only listen and takenote. That was the reason why this approach has not brought on the activenessof students. A small number of teachers have applied positive teachingmethod but haven’t aimed at developing independent creativity competencyfor students. Therefore, the topic “ Developing the indepedence in creativity forstudents in technical universities through teaching organic chemistry” holds ahigh necessity in terms of both theoretical and practical aspects, contributingto the enhancement of higher education quality.2. Objective of research Study several solutions that apply positive teaching method in organicchemistry to develop indepence of creativity for students, cont ...
