Abstract

This study analyzes the current state of digital competence development among students in public upper secondary schools in Ho Chi Minh City (before July 2025) and proposes a development process based on the PDCA (Plan–Do–Check–Act) cycle. The results show that the activities of planning, organizing, monitoring and assessment, and improvement were implemented at relatively high and consistent levels, whereas their reported outcomes were notably lower. Key limitations concerned needs assessment, the establishment of a steering committee, objective setting, and the continuous application of the PDCA cycle. The proposed process comprises four phases: Plan (establishing a steering committee, conducting a beginning-of-year survey, and developing a SMART plan); Do (training teachers, integrating digital competence into teaching and learning, and mobilizing resources); Check (using ISTE criteria and multiple assessment methods); and Act (making quarterly adjustments and fostering a digital culture).
