SOLUTIONS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF STEM EDUCATION IN VIETNAM SECONDARY SCHOOLS

Abstract

The paper presents the current situation of STEM education in Vietnamese secondary schools through a survey of the opinions of core mathematics teachers. As a result, the authors analyze the causes and propose some solutions to develop STEM education in secondary schools. The authors use practical research methods and expert methods. Research results show that the organization of teaching mathematics according to the STEM education model has many limitations, especially the ability to connect teachers of different subjects in teaching with an interdisciplinary approach. Therefore, the solutions proposed in the paper focus on renovating training content, fostering teachers and developing the STEM education community of secondary school teachers, and enhancing teachers’ ability to cooperate in designing and organizing of the school’s STEM educational activities.
