Questionnaires are commonly used tools in scientific research for data collection. The collected primary data serve as inputs for quantitative research models or for analysis and interpretation in qualitative studies. A well-structured questionnaire not only supports accurate data collection but also plays a critical role in ensuring the reliability and quality of research.

During the seminar, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Luu Quoc Dat provided students with an overview of questionnaires, distinctions between types of questionnaires in different research designs, and methods for constructing questionnaires aligned with specific research objectives. He presented a clear process for collecting and processing primary data obtained from questionnaires. The steps included:

• Step 1: Literature review;
• Step 2: Developing evaluation criteria;
• Step 3: Designing a draft questionnaire and consulting experts on its criteria;
• Step 4: Adjusting the questionnaire’s standards and criteria;
• Step 5: Conducting surveys, processing data, and using the results for subsequent research stages.

To help students apply the theoretical concepts, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Luu Quoc Dat conducted a practical demonstration on designing a questionnaire related to assessing the international economic integration performance of Vietnamese seafood enterprises. The hands-on practice under his guidance enabled students to better understand the logic of questionnaire development and apply it to their coursework and scientific research.

Following the main presentation, the seminar atmosphere became more engaging as students participated in a two-way discussion with the speaker. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Luu Quoc Dat addressed their questions and praised their attentiveness and willingness to learn. His insights provided students with valuable lessons for their academic and research journeys.

The Faculty of International Economics – Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam extends its sincere gratitude to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Luu Quoc Dat for dedicating his time to share practical and meaningful knowledge with the students, contributing to the seminar’s success. We wish him continued health, professional success, and the ability to inspire and spread scientific knowledge to students in the time ahead.
