Abstract
This study aims to understand and test the factors influencing the effectiveness of learning and teaching political economy among Vietnamese universities. Over 1500 students from different majors and different school years have taken part in this study. The data collected from questionnaires was analyzed by SPSS version 2016 and EVIEW 10. From this study, it can be said that learning motivations and teaching methods are the most important factors driving the success of teaching and learning the political economy. Furthermore, males seem to be more interested in studying this subject and getting a higher GPA compared to females. Students from higher school-year, by contrast, have lower levels of interest in studying this module, leading to the lower effectiveness in teaching and learning this module. Finally, while teaching methods and teaching quality are positively correlated with the dependent variable, the administration service and infrastructure negatively influence the teaching and learning objectives.

Students can apply the knowledge gathered in studying political economy to clarify interest relationships in the market economy, identify their interests, and form skills to protect their legitimate interests when starting a business or participating in socio-economic activities in today’s context (Stilwell, 2012). This study aims to explore and understand what factors influencing the efficiency and effectiveness of teaching and learning political economy in Vietnamese education
