Abstract: Nowadays, developing learners’ competence has become a trend, a requirement for general education, especially in teaching mathematics in primary school. Training and retraining teachers to meet the requirements of competence-developed teaching of teacher training institutions in Vietnam still have many difficulties and is outdated. In this article, the author studies the theories of competence-developed teaching in teaching mathematics at elementary institutions. From that, she proposes a process of training students to design and organize competence-developed teaching activities. The process includes five steps namely Researching the curriculum, lesson’s contents and learners; Determining lesson’s aim; Selecting teaching methods, teaching means and teaching forms; Designing and organizing teaching activities; Evaluation and adjustment. The process was experimented at Dong Thap University and initially achieved positive results.

Abstract: One of the key tasks of Mathematics education today is to create a career-oriented foundation for pupils. Teacher training colleges/ universities need to prepare students for professional knowledge to fulfill this task after graduation. On the basis of determining the requirements for teaching Mathematics in association with career orientation for high school students, this article proposes ways of practicing Mathematics teaching professionalism in connection with pupil career orientation for Mathematics education students in teaching Mathematics and Mathematics teaching methodology in the teacher training colleges.

Abstract: Student lack experience and confidences after leaving school to apply mathematical knowledge to solve real life problems, as they need to utilize not only mathematical knowledge but also knowledge of other topics. Teachers therefore need to present mathematics in a broader context and encourage students to synthesize mathematics knowledge and other subjects of the curriculum to solve problems which is an integrated approach to mathematics teaching. In this paper, we will explain the benefits of integrated teaching, discuss integration approaches and models, and propose the five-step integrated teaching process. We will also present an illustrated example of using the five-step process in integrated teaching mathematics - biology through the “Genetic diseases in real life” project.
