Factors influencing the teaching competency of pre-service physics teachers in stem education

Abstract

Developing the teaching competency of Physics pre-service teachers in STEM education is a necessary measure to implement the directives outlined in Resolution No. 71-NQ/TW (August 22, 2025) on breakthroughs in education and training. This paper investigates the factors that influence teaching competency in STEM education and examines the extent to which these factors affect Physics pre-service teachers. A 20-item survey questionnaire was administered to assess students’ perceptions of the influence of these factors, followed by quantitative analysis of the collected data. Based on the results, the study identifies the specific levels of influence of these factors on the STEM teaching competency of Physics students at Hanoi Metropolitan University.
