After five years of introducing the subject “Educational Work of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union” into the curriculum for the Bachelor's degree in Youth Work, certain limitations have emerged in teaching methods, which tend to be heavily theoretical and have not effectively fostered students' problem-solving abilities. Therefore, applying the case study method in this subject will contribute to improving teaching quality in line with capability development goals, and meeting the required learning outcomes. An increase in duration from 02 credits to 03 credits, provides opportunities for instructors to have more time to apply designed situations for students to research and discuss. The measures to apply the case study method in teaching the subject of Educational Work of the Youth Union focus on the design of teaching situations, organization of teaching, and evaluation of the teaching process. Consequently, it is directly applied to innovative teaching methods at the present Vietnam Youth Academy.
