DESIGNING LEARNING OUTCOMES AND ASSESSMENT TOOLKITS FOR THE INTRODUCTION TO PEDAGOGY COURSE IN THE TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAM AT VINH UNIVERSITY

Training and assessment according to the learning outcomes (LO) is an inevitable trend in improving the quality of teaching and learning in undergraduate education. The Introduction to Pedagogy course in the teacher training program is designed with the learning outcomes: the knowledge of pedagogy, planning skills, communication and teamwork skills, discipline training, and teacher behavior. On that basis, assessment toolkits are designed to match the course learning outcomes (CLO). The course is organized in the form of project-based learning and practical experience at preschools, primary schools, or secondary schools. The initial implementation shows learners' initiative and positivity in learning, understanding the level of requirements to be achieved through the set of assessment criteria announced at the beginning of the course, helping learners form future career competencies.
