Students’ Attitudes Towards the Role of Academic Technology Transfer: a Case Study at Saigon University
Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This study explores the students’ attitudes towards the role of academic technology transfer at Saigon University. Students surveyed are from three faculties: Information Technology, Environmental Sciences, and Natural Sciences Education, who are engaged in or have experience with doing research. Adopting a mixed-methods approach, the study collected data through surveys and focus group discussions with undergraduate students across these disciplines. The results indicate that although students recognize the significance of technology transfer in linking academic research with real-world applications, their understanding of its process and associated benefits remains limited. Students’ attitudes are significantly influenced by factors such as academic discipline, exposure to entrepreneurial activities, and the level of institutional support. The study concludes by proposing strategies to enhance student participation in technology transfer activities, including raising awareness, implementing discipline-specific educational interventions, and strengthening institutional mechanisms to support research commercialization.
