Using the case method in teaching the social security law module in Vietnam

Abstract

In recent years, a relatively comprehensive reform process happened in higher education in Vietnam. One of the directions chosen by law training institutions in Vietnam is to apply the "case" method and use the case method in their curricula. The case method, with a practical context, on the one hand conveys the foundation knowledge of the module in a vivid and intuitive way. On the other hand, it equips learners with the method of applying the law, initially provides learners with a number of law practice skills, and at the same time develops leaners' thinking and creativity. The article analyzes the meanings and roles of using case law in teaching the social security law module for law bachelors. From there, some suggestions are proposed in the application of the case method in teaching the social security law module at the Law University, Hue University.
