Abstract

In the context of strong digital transformation, cyberspace has become an important channel in education and political and ideological education for university students. Effective management of this activity poses many new challenges for educational institutions. The article focuses on analyzing factors affecting the management of information technology education activities in cyberspace, based on systemic theory, digital learner behavior, and a synthesis of practical research. The results show that there are five main groups of factors affecting management effectiveness, including (1) Political awareness and online behavior of students; (2) Digital capacity and political qualities of lecturers and managers; (3) Policy mechanisms and governance models of the university; (4) Technical infrastructure and supporting technology; and (5) Impact of media and public opinion. Based on the analysis, the article proposes some feasible management implications, such as building a digital political education strategy, developing a digital ideological ecosystem, improving digital communication capacity for cadres, establishing a set of evaluation criteria, and promoting a positive political culture on the network platform. The study contributes to supplementing the theoretical and practical basis for the management of political and ideological education in the context of digital universities in Vietnam.
