INNOVATING TEACHING METHODS FOR PRIMARY EDUCATION STUDENTS AT HAI PHONG UNIVERSITY TO FOSTER LEARNER COMPETENCIES

Tóm tắt

Innovating teaching methods towards competency-based education is a crucial and urgent requirement to improve training quality and meet the demands of ongoing educational reform. This study focuses on innovating teaching methods for Primary Education students at Hai Phong University. Current practices indicate that many teacher training institutions still rely predominantly on traditional teaching methods, emphasizing written and oral assessments, with limited formative evaluation, practical activities, and experiential learning. Such approaches restrict students’ creativity, critical thinking, and their ability to apply knowledge effectively in real-life contexts. This paper proposes a series of solutions including integrating traditional and modern teaching methods, increasing the use of digital technologies, organizing cooperative group learning, and innovating assessment through continuous evaluation and well-defined criteria for learning outcomes. The study affirms that this comprehensive and synchronized innovation is essential to enhancing the quality of teacher education, equipping Primary Education students with the holistic competencies required to meet professional demands in the context of general education reform.
