Professional Development for High School Math Vietnamese Educators in the Assessment of Math Results

Abstract

Professional development has long been acknowledged as an important facet of career advancement, particularly in the teaching profession. Teachers must participate in professional development activities that allow them to review and improve their knowledge and skills to remain competent and up to speed with the newest practices. Nonetheless, despite increased attention to professional development programs in Vietnam, the value of these programs for Math teachers remains debatable. The goal of this research is to investigate the content, method, and form of professional development activities for math teachers in Vietnam. Despite dings indicate that, despite the varied contents, methods, or forms employed in professional development programs, their effectiveness, as judged by instructors, is quite low. This suggests that program developers should assess the inefficiencies of these programs and make relevant adjustments or replacements to maximize their efficacy. Teachers must engage in professional development activities that give them the knowledge and skills they need to fulfill the changing demands of their job. Effective professional development programs can help students succeed by allowing instructors to enhance their instructional practices, stay current with new teaching methods and technologies. This study, however, emphasizes the importance of continuing to evaluate and enhance professional development programs for math instructors in Vietnam to ensure that they are effective in fulfilling the requirements of teachers and, ultimately, their students.
