Abstract:
Marxist-Leninist philosophy constitutes one of the triadic pillars within the broader framework of Marxism-Leninism, evolving concomitantly with advancements in scientific thought and the practical dynamics of the revolutionary movement of the working class. It holds the status of a mandatory subject within the curricula of higher education institutions overseen by the Ministry of Education and Training in Vietnam. This discipline imparts a scientific worldview and applies a materialist-dialectical approach to enhance cognition and pedagogy, thereby facilitating practical improvement. Hence, the instructional approach must be adaptable to ensure that lectures are comprehensible and aligned with the stated objectives. Employing a blend of teaching methodologies assists educators in effectively conveying information, facilitating a logical and cohesive understanding of the subject matter for learners. Drawing insights from research on diagramming and group discussion methods, this article formulates requisites and procedures for amalgamating diagramming with group discussion. Concurrently, it underscores certain considerations when integrating these two approaches in the pedagogy of Marxist-Leninist philosophy.
