Teaching competency of Secondary School Teachers: Practical Survey in The North Mountainous Area of Vietnam

Abstract

Education is the foundation of science and technology development, human resource development to meet the needs of socio-economic development. The teacher is the one who organizes, guides and controls the teaching process and the teaching capacity of teachers determines the quality of education. Teacher training is a key task of schools and the education and training sector. There have been many domestic and foreign studies on teacher training, fostering teaching competence for teachers and management in order to improve the quality of fostering teaching competence for teachers. The paper uses survey method and analyses the results of other research in order to clarify the related issues. The sample has 240 teachers from 6 mountainous provinces in the North of Vietnam, the interview as well as some questions have been designed in the form of both online and paper forms. The results showed that we need to pay more attention to the assessment of teachers' teaching capacity, espeacially teachers of Northern montainous areas. The question mentioned in the article is that although the orientation of teaching towards student capacity development has been applied by many schools and is quite effective, however, the problem of designing and organizing teaching according to the direction of capacity development is a big problem, which means that the teaching capacity of teachers needs to be paid more attention, especially teachers in remote areas.
