Learning History Through a New Lens
After nearly 2 months of preparation, the project report ceremony “1775 - Aspiration for Unification” took place at Le Quy Don High School (District 3, Ho Chi Minh City) on November 16 with the participation of students from 8 high schools in District 1 and District 3. The report ceremony included creative products such as models, paintings, stage performances... vividly recreating the entire scene of the war against America.
Le Ngoc Uyen Phuong, a student in class 11A3 at Ernst Thälmann High School (District 1), said that analyzing the structure of toxic chemicals helped her gain a comprehensive view of historical events. “Previously, I only knew that Agent Orange was harmful to our people, but when I studied it from a biochemical perspective, I understood the structure and reactions of the substances, why it left serious consequences for the next generation, and from there I became even more grateful for the sacrifices of my ancestors,” the female student shared.

According to Nguyen Ngoc Bao Hoang, a student of class 12A6 at Nguyen Thi Minh Khai High School (District 3), studying history through topics helps him be more proactive in approaching and processing knowledge: “Instead of memorizing, I research events myself, filter information and present lessons using posters, models and pictures. These activities also help me develop my ability to work in groups and think creatively.”
Commenting on the combination of history, biology, and chemistry, Ms. Nguyen Thi To Van, head of the biology group at Le Quy Don High School, said that interdisciplinary learning helps students better understand the impact of chemical weapons in war.
“Through studying chemical structures and biological activities, students gain a deeper understanding of cases of disability, reduced vitality and fertility due to genetic mutations under the influence of dioxin. Thanks to that, they can sympathize with the pain of their fellow countrymen and love their homeland and country more,” Ms. Van shared.

Not just one-way teaching and learning
Sharing with Thanh Nien , Mr. Nguyen Van Gia Thuy, Vice Principal of Le Quy Don High School, assessed that interdisciplinary integration is suitable for modern trends. “Instead of the traditional teaching method where teachers explain and students listen, students research, learn and present to teachers. This is a learning method that follows the direction of the 2018 General Education Program,” Mr. Thuy commented.
The vice principal added that this learning method not only helps students master knowledge but also practice presentation skills through model building, poster design, music composition, stage performances, etc., which are essential skills in today's era.

Ms. Nguyen Thanh Quyen, a chemistry teacher at Le Thi Hong Gam High School (District 3) also believes that interdisciplinary projects help students develop their abilities in line with the new curriculum. “When students proactively approach knowledge, and teachers only play a supporting role, they will develop the ability to think independently and creatively with soft skills such as teamwork and presentation,” according to Ms. Quyen.
