INTRODUCTION
1. The reason to choose this subject
In order to meet the requirements of industrialization and modernization of the
country in the conditions of socialist-oriented market economy and international
integration, the Party Central Committee adopted the Resolution No. 29 / NQ-TW.
November 4th, 2013 on radical innovation, comprehensive education and training.
In order to create fundamental and strong changes in the quality and
effectiveness of education and training; To better meet the work of building, defending
the Fatherland and learning needs of the people, Resolution 29 / NQ-TW has set the
requirements of renovating the education system in an open, flexible and inter-
connected way between modes of education and training. The goals set out are:
“Building open education, practical learning, practical education, good teaching, good
learning, good management; have reasonable education structure and methods,
associated with building a learning society; ensure conditions for quality improvement;
standardize, modernize, democratize, socialize and internationalize the education and
training system ".
On December 26th, 2018, the Ministry of Education and Training issued the
General Education Program according to Circular No. 32/2018 / TT-BGDĐT of the
Minister of Education and Training. The new general education program is built in the
direction of developing students' qualities and competencies, ensuring close connections
between classes, grades and connecting with vocational education and higher education
program.
In order to effectively implement the general education program, a key
determinant is the teachers in the schools and their pedagogical competence, which
requires the Pedagogical schools and teacher training institutions to innovate training
content and methods to develop students' professional competence, associated with
professional activities in practice of teachers in high schools.
Mathematics is a science that has many applications in life, basic mathematical
knowledge and skills that have helped people solve real-life problems in a systematic
and accurate manner, contributing to promote social development.
To carry out teaching Math in high school towards developing Math competency
for future students, Math pedagogical students need not only master the Math
knowledge system in high school but also develop Math teaching competence.
Therefore, pedagogical schools and training institutions for Math teachers need to apply
Competency Based Education and training.
Thus, in order to develop the competence of teaching mathematics for students,
pedagogical schools and training facilities for Math teachers need to build an open
training system, enhancing the activities of experience, and well managing students'
learning activities which have a modern educational structure and method, attached to
building a learning society; ensuring conditions for quality improvement; standardizing
and modernizing according to the spirit of Resolution 29 / NQ-TW.
Today, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) plays a huge role in
the process of teaching and training at all levels, majors, contributing to a positive
innovation in teaching and learning. ICT promotes an open education, giving people
quick access to information, multi-dimensional information, shortening all distances,
narrowing every space, time. ICT enables people to self-study anywhere, anytime,
contributing to a learning society in which everyone can learn for life.
In order to improve the training quality for math teachers in high schools, the
research is based on the view of competence development and comprehensive
innovation of education, training, exploitation of IT applications to propose solutions to
develop teaching competence for math pedagogical students with the support of ICT
which is necessary and urgent.
Start from the above reasons we study the thesis “Developing teaching
competence for university students in Mathematics Pedagogy with the support of
information and communication technology”.
2. Research objectives: Applying theoretical views to develop competence,
meaning and value of ICT application in Education and Training to propose solutions to
develop Math teaching competence for Math pedagogical students with the support of
ICT.
3. Object and scope of the study
3.1. Research object
The process of teaching competence development of Math pedagogical students at
university with the support of ICT.
3.2. Research philosophy
The process of training Math pedagogical students at the university.
3.3. Scope of the study
Application of ICT contributes to train teaching competence in the process of
training Math teachers at high schools and at pedagogical universities, through specialized
subjects and mainly forging practice pedagogy.
4. Scientific hypothesis
If the measures are developed and mastering well the viewpoint of teaching and
competence development, along with the reasonable method of exploiting ICT applications,
the application of those solutions will contribute to the development of teaching competence of
math pedagogical students.
5. Research mission
5.1. Systematize theoretical basis for training, developing teaching competence of
mathematics pedagogy students. Identify the component competencies and manifestations of
the major math teaching competencies that need to be developed for undergraduate
mathematics pedagogical students.
5.2. Identify roles, functions and applications of ICT in training teaching
competence for math pedagogical students; pedagogical requirements, ICT application
process to support teaching competence training for math pedagogical students at
university.
5.3. Surveying the current situation of applying ICT in training teaching competence
for math pedagogical students at some pedagogical universities which have training of math
teachers.
5.4. Identify solutions to train teaching competence for math pedagogical students
with the support of ICT.
5.5. Pedagogical experiment to test the feasibility and effectiveness of ICT
applications in organizing teaching competence for math pedagogical students at university.
6. Research Methods
6.1. Theoretical research Method
Studying documents, research works on competence development teaching theory,
documents on ICT application in teacher training in general and training of teaching
competence for math pedagogical students in particular, materials on vocational training
programs and training teaching competence for math pedagogical students at universities
with the support of ICT.
6.2. Investigation and observation Methods
Using the questionnaire, observing student activities related to the requirements for
forming, developing competence and using ICT.
Communicating with experts and lecturers at universities and observing some teaching
competence training activities for math pedagogical students at universities; At the same
time, learn about the practical application of ICT in training teaching competence for math
pedagogical students nowadays.
6.3. Experimental method of pedagogy
Organize pedagogical experiments to confirm the rationality and feasibility of the
pedagogical solutions proposed and test scientific hypotheses. Handling pedagogical
experiment results by mathematical statistical methods.

Chapter 1: THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL BASIS
1.1. Overview of the problem research history
1.1.1. Studies in the world
- Research on developing training competence for teaching mathematics
In Western countries, the concept of training math teachers is clearly formed and early.
The role and task of forming pedagogical skills are always a topic of interest in research
topics and seminars on the field of education. Many research works focus on teacher
training.
Entering the 70s of the twentieth century and the following years, the research works in
the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe were promoted in the direction of in-depth study of
scientific labor organization - the teaching process. The birth of the Teacher Training
Research Department at Pedagogical School has facilitated the introduction of a series of
studies.
- Research on the application of information and communication technology in training
pedagogical students
In the late 70s of the twentieth century, information technology was widely used in
professional and scientific documents around the world. Since 2000, the term "information
