TRAINING HISTORY TEACHERS AT PEDAGOGICAL UNIVERSITIES FROM THE ORIENTATION OF IMPROVING STUDENTS’ CAPACITY TO SATISFY THE NEW PROGRAM OF HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION – A VIEW FROM THE EXPERIENCES OF THE REPUBLIC OF FRANCE

Abstract

Ministry of Education and Training is now performing the reform in high-school education. Rather than content-oriented approaches, this reform focuses on teaching approaches to develop learners’ capacities. In order to satisfy this reform, the issue of training teachers (including retraining) play the most decisive role. In such context, seeing and studying experiences of training teachers of advanced-education countries in the world, for instance the Republic of France, is meaningful in both scientific and practical values. Due to such requirements, this paper concentrates on resolving three issues: French historical teacher training model; Current model of teacher training in Vietnam; Some possibilities to apply in Vietnam from the experience of the Republic of France. The paper uses two main methods: the historical method and the logical method. In addition, the authors also use methods of analysis, comparison, and synthesis to clarify research issues.
