Abstract
The paper focuses on analyzing the digital skills and adaptability of students in the context of digital transformation based on the results of an online survey of 1.282 students of Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education (HCMUTE). The results show that students' digital skills and adaptability in the context of digital transformation at HCMUTE are demonstrated through aspects such as: HCMUTE's online learning system; document search engines; using digital skills and adaptability; habits are mainly expressed during the study period; Software applications are mainly used for student's learning and adaptability in the context of digital transformation. Applying students' digital skills and adaptability in the digital context also has advantages (the search for information, the development of study plans, the archiving of documents, etc.) and difficulties (insufficient learning facilities, learning space and interaction lead to lower efficiency when compared to traditional learning methods, ...). Therefore, the research results are expected to help provide a more objective view of the reality of digital adoption and students' adaptability in the digital transformation context at HCMUTE.
